    Yeah…it’s a shame. As much as us Westerners get sick of Toronto being the centre of the universe, I think it’s essential that the most populous city in the country has a successful CFL team.

      Why? To grow/ maintain the league? I wish Atlantic Canada had a version of the New England Patriots :D to really make the game coast-to-coast!

        Why?

        LOL, fair question. I guess I think it it adds legitimacy to the league as a truly national concern.

        Yep - I think there needs to be a team in Halifax or wherever, for exactly the same reason.
