John Tory was a former commissioner of the CFL and couldn’t take sides but as the mayor of Toronto his full support is with the Argos and this Sunday has been officially proclaimed “Double Blue Day” in Toronto. The Argonauts are looking for their 17th Grey Cup victory this Sunday in Ottawa vs The Calagary Stampeders. The Argos flag was officially raised at city hall and a friendly wager has been made with the mayor Of Calgary Naheed Nensh. The losing mayor will contribute $5 for every point scored by the winning team with funds going to Daily Bread Food Bank in Toronto or Calgary. Tory encouraged everyone to make similar bets to support their local food banks. The bet also includes the losing mayor to send beer and reciting a poem written by the winner which could be embarrassing for the losing mayor. Tory said he can already taste the beer and is confident the ‘The Boatmen” will win. Calgary had an impressive 13-4-1 record during the regular season while Toronto was 9-9 but still won the eastern division and the conference title. The Stampeders are the early 7 point favourites to win the Big Canadian Football game. Calgary are 7 time Champs and last won 20-16 over the Hamilton Tiger-cats in 2014. The Argos won their last Grey Cup in Toronto during the 100th Anniversary in 2012 when they defeated the Stampeders 35-22. Go Argos Go!
