Ontario does not deserve a major league baseball franchise
Canada Free Press ^ | 10/18/16 | Arthur Weinreb

What a Mickey Mouse province Ontario actually is

On Friday, Douglas Cardinal, an idiot described in Canada’s mushy media as “a Canadian activist,” applied in the Superior Court of Ontario for an injunction to prevent the use of the word “Indians” before Game 3 of the ALCS is played at the Rogers Centre in Toronto.

Cardinal brought the injunction against the Indians, Major League Baseball and Rogers, the company that owns the Blue Jays, Rogers Centre and that will broadcast the home games of the Blue Jays during the post-season play. In addition to the Superior Court action, Cardinal has brought complaints to both the Ontario and Canadian human rights commissions.

Well the good news for them is they only have to deal with the Indians for one more game.

If you think political correctness, brain-dead statism and overall leftist stupidity is bad in the USA, spend some time in Canada.

Baseball is an American Game. Tell the fainthearted Kanucks to shove it.

Obviously a disgruntled St. Louis fan.

Keep baseball. Expel the libtards to uninsulated trailer homes in northern Saskatchewan.

We deserve a major league team. What we don’t deserve is an idiot Canadian activist.

You guys have plenty of the same kind. If only we could rid both countries of these boneheads. Go Jays - even though it looks mighty good for your Indians!

Where does the name Ontario come from? It could be racist and may be they should change it to make sure.

Let’s be fair here, the Toronto fans are among the BEST in baseball.

Not their fault some CHUMP is trying to start shenanigans.

Hoping the Blue Jays do well today, the Indians are not good enough to sweep them.

If they did get one they’d all be pissing in the stadium. Not in the bathrooms in the stadium. Literally all over the stadium. You have to have gone to Quebec to get the joke.

So tell the Toronto fans to order the chump to shut up and sit down. He has absolutely no business sticking his nose in an American affair.

That’s the reason why I left. I was escaping socialism and lo and behold, American idiots elected a socialist fag illegal alien from kenya with no known transcripts of his life.

Unfortunately, the chant after tonight will be, "OK, Blue Jays, let's play ball golf!" (Somewhere warmer than Kanada in the winter, that is.)

Douglas Cardinal, the author of the court case, is a famous Canadian architect. His fame arose because he was the first, if not the only aboriginal (aka Native Indian, who was actually half-breed, or metis), to graduate as an architect, so was hired by politically-correct governments to design public buildings. If he were NOT metis, he would likely STILL be working for some small architecture firm, as an employee, designing garages, else possibly drowning in the bottom of a bottle of cheap whiskey.

Here are two examples of his 'work', the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian and the Canadian Museum of History (NOT in the Capital, but in Gatineau, Québec, across the river from d'Ottawa, the Capital).

I notice the Indians responded last night by wearing their blue tops with INDIANS emblazoned on the chest and Chief Wahoo grinning on the sleeve.

GO TRIBE!!

Really, there are plenty of leftist loons all over the USA. The real problem with Canadian sports is that they lost the Montreal Expos!

Can I get an injunction to stop him from using the name Cardinal?
He’s giving birds a bad name.
