Let’s take a journey around the league to see the best social from Mark’s Labour Day Weekend.
Montreal at Ottawa
The Alouettes stunned Ottawa, and had some fun on social in the process.

Mike Sherman showed more emotion than we’d seen in the first 11 weeks of the season combined following his team’s win.
Coach Sherman’s gave out LOTS of love after last nights W over the top team in the east! ❤️️ #ToujoursGame #AlsMTL pic.twitter.com/dVOzfKQnXX

The LumberJoes, an Ottawa super fan duo that attends every REDBLACKS home game, were a little salty about the loss.
After two sleeps of careful and meaningful meditation, we’ve determined that Friday’s game will not fall into the “classic” column of Labour Day games.

Legendary receiver Nik Lewis also praised Als offensive coordinator Khari Jones — whom he’d criticized earlier in the season — for his playcalling.
I have been hard on Khari this season, but the last few weeks he is been making great calls and doing a great job. Its never personal.

Winnipeg at Saskatchewan
Nick Marshall and the Riders delivered a serious blow to the Bombers in the Labour Day Classic, and the Mosaic Stadium faithful were appropriately loud.
Classic @NicMarshall7!
Straight to Pil Country, young man!🍉#LDWeekend #RiderPride pic.twitter.com/smIovbeJz4

Country star and Saskatchewan’s own Jess Moskaluke rocked the halftime show.
In case you didn’t know: That was a pretty big win for the Riders.

Some familiar faces from the Fun Police were on ‘patrol’ at McMahon Stadium.

Toronto at Hamilton
Former Ticat Bakari Grant — currently a free agent — chimed in on Twitter prior to Monday night’s Battle of the QEW, proving that old rivalries die hard.
It’s the labo(u)r day classic in Hamilton today! Oldest rivalry in the @cfl #ArgosSuck pic.twitter.com/H0Cz16zoOR

Hamilton rock heroes Monster Truck brought down the house at Tim Hortons Field, playing their hearts out in front of the hometown crowd.

After Ticats receiver Jalen Saunders left the game with a reported MCL injury, players began to reach out on Twitter to offer their support.
Prayers up for the bro @jalen6saunders !

Despite the Ticats’ win, Argos fan Gareth Bush took the real W on Monday night with this phenomenal, Patrick Roy-inspired tweet.
Endless Ticats fans have been trying to tell me that the Argos suck, but it’s hard to hear them with a 2017 Grey Cup ring plugging my ear. #CFL #LDWeekend
