Politics Persists via Different Methods as Toronto Blue Jays Face LA Dodgers

Military engagement, argued the 19th-century Prussian warfare philosopher Carl von Clausewitz, constitutes "the extension of political affairs by different methods".

Whereas Toronto prepares for a decisive baseball confrontation against a dominant, celebrity-packed and well-funded Stateside rival, there is a expanding feeling across the country that the same can be said for sports.

During the past twelve months, The Canadian nation has been locked in a international and trade dispute with its longtime ally, largest commercial associate and, progressively, its biggest opponent.

In the past few days, Carney stated to media he was "super pumped" about the Blue Jays after their exciting and improbable win over the Pacific Northwest club – a win that sent the team to the World Series for the premier instance in over thirty years.

The contest, finalized through a round-tripper, finished with what many consider one of the greatest moments in franchise history and has subsequently generated popular videos, featuring content that merges national vocalist the Quebecoise star's "the popular song" with the spectators' excited behavior to a home run.

"He doesn't like to lose. No communication has occurred. No response has been provided to date on the bet so I'm prepared. We're ready to make a bet with the United States."

Different from the skating sport, where are six northern professional squads, the Blue Jays are the exclusive club in major league baseball that have a support base spanning an entire country.
