Doug Ford calls baseball fan kicked out of Blue Jays game for wearing a "Canada Not For Sale" on his hat. [View all]

Doug, you're making it hard for me to dislike you. I still do, but it ain't as easy as it used to be.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he’s proud of a Toronto Blue Jays fan who was ejected from the Rogers Centre for wearing a “Canada is not for sale” hat.

Dan Begley, 70, was removed from the stadium Thursday night during the home opener after an usher told him the slogan on his red ballcap violated a rule against “political statements.” The Blue Jays organization has since apologized, calling it a mistake.

In a voicemail obtained by CTV News Toronto, Ford told Begley to stand firm and offered his support.
