Blue Jays fans who hate Toronto share their inner turmoil
It's a season that's moved Toronto fans to sing their team's praises.... especially last night, after the Blue Jays clinched the American League East division title... for the first time in 22 years.
But today we're asking whether Toronto's big league team has managed to clinch the even bigger title of being "Canada's" team.
Because for all their on-field victories this year, there are still a lot of folks who just can't stomach the idea of cheering on a team from Toronto.
And that includes Vancouver's own, Rafe Mair.
As a child I was a Habs fan not because I knew anyone in the city of Montreal, but because I couldn't stand the Toronto Maple Leafs '"Captain Canada Crap".- Rafe Mair. former radio host
