Can't wait to see a crappy crowd turn out at one of his son's shows. But, he did sell out his upcoming Toronto show lol

Taking lessons from Donald Trump for idiotic tweets, it seems.

I'm kinda surprised he wouldn't have taken the game from two weeks ago vs the Roughriders to take his shot.

[Argo57]

I guess they forget the 1987 save the Riders telethon?
Arrogant asshole should keep his yap shut!!

Edwards pointed out as such.

Considering today's crowd was a little bigger than the one vs. the Riders a couple of weeks ago.

I guess context is not the forte of politician looking for attention. Never mind forgetting...or ignoring 1987..which the article referenced.

My comment was directed at Wall, amazing how selective memory works sometimes.

Argos need their own banjo bowl game every year against these Rider hillbillies, who don't have any hills and think they will all be oil millionaires when climate change has already accelerated the global energy market to invest more in renewables than in fossil fuels every year since 2013.

TBH, is he wrong ?

[gilthethrill]

TBH, is he wrong ?

Yes he is.

[Mightygoose]

It has nothing do to about right or wrong.

What does a politican have to gain by taking shots at something that has nothing to do with his province or the Riders for that matter? Comment on wins and losses is one thing but questioning the business model which is very different than SK is another thing.

No way tofu gets 15k.

What venue in Toronto? He’s also playing the park theatre in Winnipeg with a capacity of 386,

[R.J]

Yes he is.

The tofu stand part was clearly an over exaggeration, but the Agribition has a higher attendance than Argo games do.

So, are you implying that politicians shouldn't speak about anything unless it has to do with policies or to further their political careers ? Or just that freedom of speech only applies to those that don't have jobs in the "public eye" ?

I think he really should just stick to his jurisdiction and not critique someone else's.

I'd like to think Mr. Wall doesn't feel like the province has an inferiority complex that he needs to go after the Argos attendance as opposed to just taking jabs on their head to head records on field....the Riders have the edge there so why does he feel the need to go down that path.

Granted there's no Toronto to anything in SK rivalry with NHL, MLB or NBA so he needs to get his attention from somewhere.

Edit: Fully echo AngeloV's thoughts. What I really meant to say but more direct to the point.

You're entitled to your opinion, just like Wall is IMO. I don't understand why he shouldn't comment on anything outside his Province.

Sour Grapes is all I'm seeing here right now.

So Mr. Wall is right that league should look at other options for this franchise's location?

That's what he said in the second part of his tweet.
