Blue Jays will win World Series in six games, Carney and Ford predict

By Canadian Press on October 23, 2025.

Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ontario Premier Doug Ford are both predicting the Toronto Blue Jays will win the World Series in six games, though so far neither has plans to attend in person.

Ford said at the end of a press conference Thursday at a nuclear plant with Carney that he would be watching Friday’s game from his “man cave” because he doesn’t want to pay exorbitant ticket prices.

Carney says he will be in Asia, where he is set to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, so he joked that he would have to find a “man cave” to watch from overseas.

Ford’s comments follow musings Wednesday that he wants to look at the issue of ticket sales, after Blue Jays fans complained of sky-high resale prices not long after World Series tickets went on sale.

Ford’s government in 2019 scrapped part of a law from the previous Liberal government that would have capped ticket resale prices at 50 per cent above the original face value.

Ticketmaster has said it appreciates the concern about high prices for World Series tickets but that it is not setting those prices, “nor is any one person or entity.”
