see, this isn't being driven by health policy. the amount of virus the team could bring in is insignificant, compared to what is already circulating; there's no logic in this.

i don't care about baseball, but i know a lot of people in toronto do, and i know that they're not likely to buy into some jingoist propaganda designed to try to get them to hate america to distract them from te government's incompetence.

this will backfire, terribly.

toronto is the party's base. it can't come close to winning without these seats,
