Boxy and SG, whilst treading the edges of Blue Jays commentary, are absolutely right (wing AND correct). From out Alberta way, the GTA is a cesspool of anti-US sentiment. But illogical fans discount the reality that the Jays are part of a U.S. league and have an awful lot of U.S. components.
Although the anti-US and TDS cannot be eliminated, I remember hiring workers in Kyiv (Ukraine) a few years ago. In their interview sessions, I explained what a beautiful country Ukraine is - reminded me of Toronto/suburbs in the 70's/80's, but that Canada WAS the best country on Earth. And I told each person that a major difference was that we benefited from a great neighbor (the U.S.) that worked with us, protected us, and didn't interfere with any of the crazy socialist things that bubbled up in eastern Canada. They, on the other hand, had Russia as a neighbor. Enough said. And I told them that, if they were hired, learned English, and earned their permanent residencies, they would be the luckiest people in their city - because, eventually, Russian tanks were going to roll across that border again. These discussions were in 2003 - and I was right.
We should have a leader that puts Canada first, like the U.S.'s current leader. And while I cheer for the Jays from afar - some of the liberal commenters on this board are prime examples why Canada is doomed (whether the west is smart enough to separate or not) and Toronto doesn't deserve a winning Jays team.
Trudeau is an absolute idiot - and stopping the Jays from playing at home is another proof of that... I don't comment much - as Boxcar and SG speak for me and my ilk - but here's a great quote from the Toronto Sun that says it all:
To say Trudeau honestly believes his Messianic affectation is beneficial to the nation, suggests he does not know any better and believes his own cow poo. It acknowledges tacitly that this person is thick as two short planks. My analysis is yes, he has his mother's brains, but he also has his father's ruthlessness ambition and superiority. To be stupid and cunning is a rare phenomenon in nature, but it does happen. People do not look past the stupidity into the cesspool of ruthless ambition and manipulation. For those wondering how he gets into office forever, and ever, and..... two factors: he stuffs ballot boxes with devoted immigrants, bleeds our tax money out to every d. cause involved with refugees and some immigrant groups, so it pays them to keep him in power. Actually heard one candid fellow from Nigeria say, " I will always vote for him because he was good to us. Anyway, where I come from PMs are much worse than the things he does". That is all he has to do folks, unless some hero rids us of him because he will be voted in by the greedy, unethical and untutored in democracy , all snuggled up to the vacuous Utopian ideologues who believe his smoke and mirrors. God help the rest of us. Kathleen Adamson
