Mayor John Tory flew a Montreal Canadiens flag at Toronto City Hall on Thursday.

No, pigs weren't soaring through the air. He was just making good on a bet he lost with Montreal mayor Valerie Plante.
Tory, as promised, raised the Canadiens flag because the Maple Leafs lost to the Canadiens in the 2021 Stanley Cup First Round in seven games.

Mayor Tory was a good sport about the whole thing, posing for a photo under the flag and sharing it on twitter.
Mayor Plante shared and called Tory "A man of his word" in French.

It's the most recent Toronto-themed honor the Canadiens have received. Earlier this week, the famous
CN Tower was lit
up in their team colors following their sweep of the Winnipeg Jets to win the North Division.
