Actor John Candy, a gifted screen comedian, popular in SCTV and major films, was born at Toronto, ON. With friend Wayne Gretzky, and investor Bruce McNall, the proud Torontonian became a part owner of the city’s Canadian Football League team, the Argonauts, and saw them win the Grey Cup in 1991. He died much too young of a heart attack in Mexico in 1994.
