The Toronto Blue Jays' heartbreaking World Series loss in Game 7 has left much of Canada in a disappointed funk, but a vocal contingent of the team's base is still calling for a parade to celebrate the team's historic playoff run — even if it didn't end the way the country had hoped.Toronto was just two outs away from winning a title, and even after losing a lead in the 9th inning, the Jays were again just inches from a World Series before ultimately falling to the Dodgers 5-4 in the 11th inning.It was about as close as you can get to a championship without actually getting the trophy — an achievement that fans still want recognized.Journalist Steve Paikin is one of the many prominent voices who have suggested a parade be held regardless of the loss. It's an idea that even some Dodger fans are getting behind.Dodger fan, here. I agree.— Dowe Kaufman (@kaufman64982) November 2, 2025One user called on Mayor Chow to organize a parade for the te...
