Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne and her Albertan counterpart Rachel Notley are the latest politicians to wade into Grey Cup bets ahead of tomorrow's championship football game in Winnipeg.
Wynne's rooting for the Ottawa Redblacks, who take on Notley's hometown Edmonton Eskimos.
Grey Cup bet between Ottawa, Edmonton mayors is quite tameGrey Cup fans get the party started in WinnipegWinnipeg's polar bears predict Edmonton Eskimos will win Grey Cup
Notley posed the challenge to Wynne on Twitter Friday, requesting that the losing team's premier wear the other team's jersey in the legislature and they donate to help refugees in the winning province.
Wynne replied to Notley, telling her she was on board for the bet and supporting the Redblacks.
The bet stirred up response on Twitter. Some were in favour of the friendly wager.
Others were concerned where the donation money was coming from.
If Wynne's team loses, it won't be the first time she has had to wear an Alberta football jersey.
Last year, she made a similar wager with former Alberta premier Jim Prentice, when Ontario's Hamilton Tiger-Cats played the Calgary Stampeders. When the Ticats lost, Wynne followed through on her promise, wearing a Stampeders jersey during a meeting with Prentice.

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson and Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson have also placed a bet on this year's match, involving a food bank donation from the winner's city to the loser's city, while the losing mayor has to wear the opponent city's jersey.
Even the CBC Radio morning shows in Ottawa and Edmonton have gotten in on the fun, pledging that the losing city's morning show team perform Adele's hit song Hello on video
