They're not all on the same political team, but members of Parliament have caught the same fever.
Support for the Edmonton Oilers as they seek a Stanley Cup victory has swept the country, and that includes Parliament Hill, where some MPs are set to gather to watch the Edmonton Oilers try to even up the Stanley Cup Final. Dale Steil, of Edmonton, reacts before the Oilers take on the Florida Panthers in Game 1 of the NHL Stanley Cup final in Sunrise, Fla., Saturday, June 8, 2024.
A few weeks ago, Fergus's office also hosted a hockey night for MPs to watch the Toronto Maple Leafs in the first round of the NHL playoffs. A few weeks ago, the NDP's Heather McPherson found herself at Toronto Pearson Airport watching the Oilers clinch their spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs as she waited to board her plane to Ottawa with Conservative MPs.
McPherson has painted her nails orange and blue for the occasion — a colour combination rarely seen together in the House of Commons. Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault represents the riding at the heart of Oiler Nation: Edmonton Centre.
