Doug Ford, the premier of Ontario, lost a bet with Quebec Prime Minister François Legault. What are the stakes? Having to wear your opponent's sweater. And, thanks to the Canadiens' 3-1 win over the Leafs last night, Ford was able to keep his word.
Ford, dressed in a Guy Lafleur Habs sweater, made a video message in which he thanked Legault for the gift of the gear and congratulated the Montreal fandom.
As was promised to my friend Francois and all the Habs fans out there, congratulations," Ford began.
Of course, it wasn't long before he had to admit the truth - he didn't like having to wear his rival's colors.
"And, this is killing me putting this jersey on," he said. "But I'm proud of our great Leafs nation, they did a great job. All I want to see now are the Habs to win the Stanley Cup or one Canadian team win it. You guys did great."
Ford wasn't able to end the video without giving proper credit to goaltender Carey Price, who stonewalled the Leafs in Game 7 and throughout the series.
"And thank God, you got that Price, one of the best goalies in the world," Ford said. "And I gotta tell you, this is a shirt you gave me François signed by Guy Lafleur, what an icon he was, as much as I'm upset that the Leafs didn't win, I still love you François, you're the best."
