I think that the amount of Jays fans outside of TO in other parts of Canada gets largely over stated. I personally don't get it and hate any time the use of Canada's team is used because it is inaccurate.

I disagree. It obviously isn't "blue jays crazy" in every Canadian city, but certainly there's a noticeable following across Canada. Almost every person I meet in Calgary that follows MLB is a Jays fan.
You see Jays hats all the time when out and about. Hell, last year there was deadly barfight that started over an argument about blue jays pitching in Calgary. Make no mistake, there's plenty of Blue jays support across Canada.
