CN Tower to light up Habs colour

[North Cole]

And light up what? Parliament?

The CN Tower is the most famous landmark in Canada.

Domestically, but I would argue the most famous landmark "in" Canada is this one:

France actually ceeded the land to Canada for perpetual use to construct the monument that we maintain along with the surrounding land. While you don't cross a border to attend the monument it is considered part of Canada.

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

What the f*** is this? I hope the CN Tower gets struck by lightning.

That would be a shame since it finally looks good.

Has anyone else noticed the irony

Landmarks don't have to be man made.

This is the most famous and it's not even close.

I see it in the media. That I agree with. In my day to day interactions with people I never see it. It is the great Canadian Sporting myth. Just another example of the news creating a different narrative from actual reality.

Probably 80% of the ordinary Ontarians you meet outside GTA spend the entire playoffs analyzing which team is Canada's team and how to best 'get the Cup home'. Not all of the 416 is like that and 905 just wants to get drunk and doesn't care, but certainly 519, 226, 705, etc are super into it. People who don't even like or watch sports see cheering the Cup home as a patriotic duty.

Havent been to your moms house in a while?

HEYOOOOOOOOOOO


just kidding... sorry.

I'm not even sure what that means.

I would find it classy if Montreal returned the favor when/if given the chance. I'm probably getting old and soft, but I can't even imagine how seeing our mayor in a Leafs Jersey or the Olympic Stadium with a huge Leafs flag on it would have any negative effect on me.

 

[Voight]

Its ok. There is enough Raptors and Jays gear in Montreal.

Bunch of bandwagoners. They only support Toronto teams when its convenient for them.

 

[Islay1989]

I chuckled when I saw the part about Montreal being the Leaf's arch-rival. I doubt the feeling is mutual.

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

I mean it's the Canadian Tower, not the Toronto Tower, right? It just happens to be located in the city of Toronto, but it's a symbol of the entire country, no?

CN Tower lighting up in Montreal Canadiens colours tonight | Offside

What the heck is going on? Did the city just turn Heel on the Leafs?

Well if the Leafs arent going to bring Canada a cup you may as well go with a team who has a chance to

It was a little annoying to see the ESB in Islanders colors even last year and they are part of the metro area.

Canada's most famous landmark is something that America has too?

 

[hoglund]

This is insulting to Toronto.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

It's like when the Empire State Building was lit up in Islanders colors. It ain't right!

 

[KingJoffrey]

This is insulting to Toronto.

Dubas is behind this for sure. #jointogether #makelovenotwar #liberalsforwin #kylesgrandma

Leafs have the most unlikable team in my 28 years on the planet. They have skills, sure but they are run by cucks and brats. I am kinda glad Montreal won because the Leafs don't have the traits you want a team to have. They're just a collection of different skills. Habs aren't perfect but they're a hockey team.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

This is insulting to Toronto.

So are the Leafs.

 

[hoglund]

So are the Leafs.

They both are, but two wrongs don't make a right.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

They both are, but two wrongs doesn't make a right.

True.

Still hilarious though.

 

[Silencio]

CN Tower must have lost a bet with the Olympic Stadium tower.

 

[hoglund]

CN Tower must have lost a bet with the Olympic Stadium tower.

It does seem like this is only happening because someone high up lost a bet.

 

[Confused Turnip]

That was Tory's theory too.

Mayor John Tory roasts CN Tower decision to light up in Montreal Canadiens’ colours

 

[SensFactor]

What the heck? That's so odd. Insult to injury for sure
