First things first: respect for sports fandom. No matter who you are, your team is your team. Whether you're just an average person or the Prime Minister of Canada, you stick to your guns when it comes to your favourite team.

But there's a little extra territory that comes with being the PM. That's all of Canada. Sure, it's easy for John Tory, as mayor of Toronto, to proudly boast the [Toronto Maple Leafs](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/toronto-maple-leafs?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and force their colours on all who pass through.

This is adorably Canadian, all around.
