The Toronto Maple Leafs weren’t the only figures in Ontario admitting defeat at the hands of the Montreal Canadiens this week. Premier Doug Ford sported a brand news Habs jersey on Twitter, making good on his bet with Quebec Premier François Legault.
Ford paid his debt by wearing a signed Guy Lafleur jersey, which was gifted to him by Legault.
The Ontario premier said it was “killing me” to put on the jersey, before congratulating the Leafs on a great season.
“All I want to see now, Habs win the Stanley Cup,” said Ford, “or one Canadian team win it.”

Un homme de parole. Merci Doug! https://t.co/ZoQFStnq9x
