Toronto Blue Jays toppled the Los Angeles Dodgers 11-4 in Friday's Game 1

I know that is a sports story, but, given the animosity shown toward Canada by our current dictator, I think it is of interest in a political forum.

11 to 4. Not a good showing by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Bodes poorly.

Go Toronto. They were in last place last year. The present state of this country is beneath last place. We can come back.

If Toronto wins the series, I hope Trump doesn't blow a circuit. Or maybe I do. I don't know.
