Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Thursday challenged President Trump to make a friendly wager on the outcome of the World Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers.
But Mr. Carney said Mr. Trump hasn’t returned his call yet on the potential bet.
“I think he’s afraid, I think he’s afraid to make a bet,” Mr. Carney joked to The Associated Press while taking in batting practice at Toronto’s Rogers Centre a day before Game 1 of the World Series in Toronto.
“He doesn’t like to lose. He hasn’t called. He hasn’t returned my call yet on the bet, so I’m ready. We’re ready to make a bet with the U.S.”
Mr. Carney predicts the Blue Jays will win the best-of-seven series in six games.
“This country is so pumped. I think the world is so pumped for this series,” Mr. Carney said, noting the interest in Japan because of Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani.
Canada’s only major league team will have the country behind it during the World Series.

He needs to save his shitful country instead of trying to entice the President of the United States to make a bet with him. Bugger off idiot.
I’m no gambling man, but if I were going to bet, I’d bet on the team with Shohei Ohtani.
The Dodgers are the overwhelming favorites in the series, with odds of -220 to win the World Series, reflecting an implied 68.75% probability of victory.
Trump: “OK, Mark, but I only bet big. So how about if I win, Canada becomes our 51st state?”
I love the Dodgers but hate their owners. “Magic” Johnson has slept with more women than Solomon. His son is a cross dresser. Sorry, cannot support this. Go Toronto Blue Jays!!!
We lose, Canada gets to have California.
California for Ontario.
The AP is not rooting for the home team.
I’m rooting for Toronto, because I tend to root for teams that have never won a championship or haven’t won it in a long time. I was rooting for Seattle to beat Toronto in the ALCS.
I also don’t like teams that go out and collect all the best players because they are willing to spend exorbitant amounts of money, which is the Dodgers. Tyler Glasnow is probably the 4th best starting pitcher on the Dodgers.
“Trump: “OK, Mark, but I only bet big. So how about if I win, Canada becomes our 51st state?”
Carney: “OK and if I win, the United States becomes provinces of Canada under Canadian control.”
Don’t be an ass. This is a common thing.
Trump does not make bets with governors!
Liar's Poker!
all those Canadian kids are practically BORN playing baseball.
“personal for Canada in Trump era: ‘This is for all of us’“
What a putz, is there even one Canadian on the Toronto team?
This is how Canada’s “leader”, “flexes”. A baseball game bet. A little juvenile.
Bad timing?
Canada is more pro gay, pro woke, and raging batshiite feminist than we are, as a country. Thats who you’re rooting for.
