Grey Cup final Sunday in Winnipeg

A website about Canadian football ledes this article about the Grey Cup final “Former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau never had much support in the province of Saskatchewan, but he’ll have even less after this week.”

I don’t understand why this is a thing – is it only because he has the nerve to support his home team* rather than the Roughriders? (Besides, he doesn’t need support and has no obligation to maintain a pretense of cultural neutrality any more either, because he’s no longer an active politician.)

Bonus: no mention of Katy Perry.

Item says the game is at 6 pm EST. Would there be a parade if the Alouettes win?

Explainer.

*Actually, I see on Wikipedia that Trudeau was born in Ottawa, for what it’s worth.
