Local media have been chatting all week about how this is the first time in years that these teams have met for their Labour Day Classic when both are competitive.
That may lead to guffaws out West, but in the True Capital of Canada Where Everything Important Happens, it's a big deal.
A greatly improved Toronto Argonauts club comes into Monday afternoon's tilt at 5-3 after having won just three times in 2009.

Week 10 - Canadian Football League CFL
An Argos win would put them into a first-place tie with Montreal atop the CFL's Eastern Division.
The Tiger-Cats started poorly but have won their last three straight to sit at 4-4. Taking Toronto would put them into a tie for second with the Double Blue.
Both clubs also want to put more space between them and fourth-place Winnipeg, currently four points back of the Cats and six back of the Argos.
And beating Toronto would give Hamilton the season series between the two with one game left down the road, and that's the first tie-breaker at the end of the year.
Toronto running back Cory Boyd is a key for the Cats to stop. Hamilton's DeAndra' Cobb is back in form from the backfield.
