Toronto vs Ottawa a Media Analysis

I know there is a lot of competition between these two cities. They both host two popular NHL and CFL teams, they both host governments and they are both in the same province. One would expect that though population wise one is much larger than the other that both cities would have some similarities. For instance, the Ontario pizza company, Pizza Pizza has a deal with both NHL teams, if either of the team scores a certain amount of goals in the game, those who went to the game get a free slice of pizza. Since both teams are in the same division, play the same teams and play the same game, one would assume the goal count for the free slice to be the same. But noooooooo….. Leaf fans in Toronto can enjoy a free slice of pizza if their team scores 5 goals or more, however the Sens fans in Ottawa have to wait for their team to score 6 goals or more before enjoying the same perk. What is up with this? I know that somewhere an economist or actuary of some sort forecasted the expected amount of goals per game and then set a goal count in relation to how much they are willing to spend. So I guess this is Pizza Pizza’s way of saying the Sens are better than the Leafs?

Other interesting difference between the two cities is their weather report. Living in Ottawa, I know its cold but in general living in Canada one would expect it to be cold in the winter. The weather network however feels the need to issue out a warning to people in Toronto yesterday when the low +wind chill was at -24. In Ottawa however, the forecasted overnight low +wind chill was at -34 but no warning. What is up with this? It was told that Ottawa is 10 degrees colder than Toronto but someone somewhere decided that people in Ottawa shouldn’t be warned where as the people in Toronto should. I guess that’s the weather networks way of saying people in Toronto are weaker than in Ottawa.
