The Dodger’s may have won the World Series, but the Blue Jays have won the hearts of Canadians. They played with such joy, put everything they had into the game & supported & believed in their team mates. I hope that each of these guys know we are proud of every one of them. Go Jays! ⚾️🇨🇦

Congratulations to the Toronto Blue Jays on a magnificent season. It is a shame either team had to lose. And this was a gut punch. 💔💔
Classy players, fanbase, and truly one of the finest cities in the world.
Future is bright with Yeasavage, Barger, and Vladdy.

I’m pretty sure Carney knows if the coming, expensive, budget is voted down, and an election ensues, he’ll likely end up with a majority government.
