Calgary Mayor Nenshi honours bet and wears Argos jersey, reads poem at council meeting

Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi made good on his bet with Toronto counterpart John Tory.

Included in their Grey Cup stakes: the losing mayor had to wear the winning team’s jersey and read a poem – written by the victorious side – at their next city council meeting. Nenshi did that Monday.

Nenshi took the loss better than Marquay McDaniel did.

In addition, Nenshi will have to contribute $135 to the Daily Bread Food Bank in Toronto and send Tory a selection of local craft beer.

“I’m glad that Mayor Nenshi has agreed to this bet,” Tory said. “Argoooooos!”
