Doug Ford calls baseball fan kicked out of Blue Jays game for wearing a "Canada Not For Sale" on his hat.

Doug, you're making it hard for me to dislike you. I still do, but it ain't as easy as it used to be.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he’s proud of a Toronto Blue Jays fan who was ejected from the Rogers Centre for wearing a “Canada is not for sale” hat.

Dan Begley, 70, was removed from the stadium Thursday night during the home opener after an usher told him the slogan on his red ballcap violated a rule against “political statements.” The Blue Jays organization has since apologized, calling it a mistake.

In a voicemail obtained by CTV News Toronto, Ford told Begley to stand firm and offered his support.

1. You ROCK Doug Begley!

Not a great fan of Ford...but this guy has been doing the "right thing" lately! Defending Begley is bang on, threatening THE ORANGE PUKE with cutting off the electricity to the US was a great idea. Let's see where this tariff crap goes on Monday. If it goes in the wrong direction...Doug Ford has all my support with whatever he does next!

2. I am totally shocked by Doug Ford's dislike for all things Trump.

He's on the good guys side on this.

3. Ford's looking for a popular hook to grab public attention

I'm not sure I trust him to hold up to Trump pressure.

6. He still agrees with most of Trump's politics

but he's never going to support Trump's stupidity that explicitly targets Canada.

I mean, at least 90% oppose Canada becoming part of the US, and of course the citizenry isn't going to be happy about tariffs they do nothing positive for them. Trump is so bad, he's even uniting many/most Canadian conservatives against him. The conservatives were going to win the next election in a historical landslide until Trump went to work.

4. Oh Cool.. this part.. " The Blue Jays organization has since apologized, calling it a mistake."

TY, Swede!

Doug Ford seeing which way the wind's blowing?

[Swede]

7. He's a corrupt conservative, so he's got his wind vane always handy.

The enemy of my enemy...

[Cha]

8. Yeah, Keep it up Ford!

5. Blue Jays admit mistake

9. On seeing the thread....

… I assumed someone had been removed from some US stadium for wearing the pro-Canada hat. This is just stupid.
