Mr. Speaker, it is a great honour to rise in this place today to give my full and wholehearted support to the Calgary Stampeders, as they will play for the Grey Cup this weekend on this 100th anniversary.
My son and I will be cheering on the Stamps at the game. I am looking forward to seeing the Stampeders bring the cup back to southern Alberta. I, along with my son and grandson, Connor, are the team's greatest fans and we are looking forward to cheering them on.
As the third oldest active franchise in the Canadian Football League, they have managed to win the Grey Cup six times, most recently in 2008. One thing that is certain is that all Canadians and all southern Albertans will be watching closely as they compete for the cup this weekend. We will gallop off with the cup even if Toronto will not allow our Stampeders' horse to make a touchdown run.
Go Stamps go.
