Alberta Premier Rachel Notley has taken to Twitter to wager with Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne ahead of the Grey Cup on Sunday.

The Edmonton Eskimos are taking on the Ottawa Redblacks in Winnipeg.

Notley said the losing team’s premier should wear the other team’s jersey in the legislature and donate to a charity that helps with refugees in the winning province.

.@Kathleen_Wynne …and donates to local agencies in the winning province to assist in settling refugees. #GreyCup #ableg #onpoli (2/2)

Wynne accepted the challenge via Twitter and confirmed she was supporting the Redblacks.

Ontario's Ottawa @REDBLACKS take on the @EdmontonEsks Sunday in the #GreyCup. I've wagered @RachelNotley that #ottcity will win! #RNation

Last year, Wynne lost a similar bet with former Alberta Premier Jim Prentice, when the Hamilton Tiger-Cats lost to the Calgary Stampeders.

Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson and Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson also waged a Grey Cup bet this year involving wearing the other team's jersey and a food bank donation.
