TORONTO – It seems Canada’s political leaders and the Toronto Blue Jays don’t mix.
All three leaders have either done campaign events using the team as a backdrop or have taken in a Jays game this election campaign.
And each time one of the party leaders has turned up, the red-hot team has lost, the latest being Friday night’s 10-2 debacle against Baltimore on the same day that Justin Trudeau dropped by a Jays’ batting practice.
It moved NDP leader Tom Mulcair to send out a reassuring message to any superstitious Blue Jay fans who might be worried about any future campaign visits.
“Don’t worry fellow Blue Jays fans,” Mulcair tweeted. “Justin Trudeau, pmharper and I have a busy September and October lined up.”
