F1: Montreal dropped off 2009 Formula 1 calendar

From TSN.ca

The Canadian Grand Prix has been dropped from the 2009 Formula One calendar.
Following a meeting of the World Motor Sport Council in Paris, France on Tuesday, the FIA announced an 18 race schedule which did not include the popular Montreal event.

Instead, the Turkish Grand Prix has been moved from its August date to June in order to maintain the summer break which F1 teams have enjoyed the past few years.

With the U.S. Grand Prix still in limbo, the loss of the Canadian race marks the first time since 2006 that there will not be a North American Formula One stop.
