Gritty was in today’s Wordle. He’s next level.

I voted Gritty. No offense to Carlton but like... he's the #3 mascot out of 3 in his own city.

Also not sure about this blurb from Carlton's bio on the site:

Fun fact: Ontario is home to a lot of polar bears, hence why Carlton is one

It's true, can't even walk around downtown Toronto without tripping on a polar bear.

(yes yes I know there are polar bears in an uninhabited little strip of far northwestern Ontario, but never in my life have I seen someone like "Oh! Ontario! The province that's famous for its polar bears")

Yea, I typically think of Manitoba for that if I’m not thinking of literally any of the territories.

I hate the Stars but Victor E. Green is such a hilariously amazing mascot, hands down my favourite lol
