Time to face facts. Folks are tired of "2 and Out" football. The competition from the various other leagues has left the CFL moribund as presently constituted. Gone are the days of firewagon football with upwards of 60 points being put on the board. It's time to embrace 4-down football and have the NFL foot half the bill. Reduce the Canadian field size so that it's width is exactly one half of its length i.e. 55 x 110 (instead of 65 x 110), keep the 20 yard end zones, goalposts on the goal line, and hash marks 24 yards from the sidelines. Keep the rouge for any touchbacks resulting from any kind of kick. Otherwise, make it "NFL North" before it's too late.

I really hope you are being sarcastic. Otherwise, your ideas just plain suck. 4 -downs has already been discussed and debated far too much. I, for one, do not want "NFL North"!
About how many yards across is your average Home Depot?
I'm an old bastard (and a lifetime CFL fan), but this isn't working. And it looks like the Millennials feel the same way, not that I give a rat's ass about their taste in anything, but they are the future season ticket holders after all. Let's strike a deal with the NFL, and get some big time draft choices showing their talent north of the border.
We are all "old bastards"
What's a millennial?
No "big time NFL draft choices"will be coming to the CFL

Didn't the Als have one a few seasons back? Some 2-time Heisman winner, IIRC. Is that what the CFL needs more of?
Welcome to the forum, but to have your first post so negative? Why?
The NFL's changes in the last decade to open up their game have been moves towards the cfl, simply packaged within the Nfl framework.
Nfl has the money that draws the *best players for their game. The Cfl has great players for the best version of football.
Time, to move past millenials. There are younger people and a whole immigrant population out there to promote to.
This crusty old cantankerous, curmudgeon simply says No.

Sure. And while we are at it let’s just save time and become Americans. I for one can’t wait to embrace their shining examples of Trumpism, cultural divineness and gun culture...just to name a few. Let’s join up before it’s too late as you say
What is the diff between a millennial, and a centennial?

Interesting your post doesn't mention anything about fighting for field position and how punting factors into this. Or maybe you just don't understand the aspect of strategy with field position and only think strategy works with 4 down football. I forgive you of your sin, your transgression, go forth my brethern and you are now saved. Your are redeemed and worthy of a rebirth of what strategy can mean within the realm of gridiron football.

I think it's around 34 cents when you factor in the exchange rate .

Yup when you're talking about the US there is definitely a lack of common sense involved on a lot of things .
No.
What’s that saying?
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.

I think that if you are pleasing everyone then you're obviously doing something wrong .

Canadian women typically tend to have above average height with narrow hip bones which makes them appear thin. Their facial bones are structured in a way as to make them expressive with cheek bones that are naturally contoured. Below is a list of top 10 most beautiful Canadian women. Have a look!
They might have given her a scary look in “ The Twilight Saga ” because the character demanded feline features as per the text. We would put Rachelle in our list of most beautiful Canadian women because this Quebec based lady is downright attractive and beautiful. See also; the ranking of most beautiful women of 2021 .
Have you ever come across those ladies dressed up like ballerinas skating on the ice? We all love the twirling and twisting don’t we? One of the performers has always been Tessa Virtue. She is renowned and competes with Scott Moir on the rink.
The Alberta based model and actress Elisha Cuthbert is personified beauty with her clear skin and blonde hair. Even without makeup, she looks perfect, though she doesn’t need makeup anyway.
The Canadian based actress is mostly known for her role in the series Smallville where she stars as Lois Lane. We can’t help but feel mesmerized by the ochre eyes and beautiful curved lips that throw a made-my-day kind of smile our way.
Kate is a 26 year old Canadian swimsuit model who appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue from 2013-2015. We definitely don’t need to mention the well toned figure if the lady has been appearing in swimsuit issues.
The Canadian based model and actress descends from English and Irish parents. Thus we see a mixture of English and Irish features, giving her a look that makes us take a double take. The brunette also shows a slight resemblance with other American actresses like Jessica Biel .
Once again we have a prettier version of Lisa Ray in Canada with the name Marina Laswick. What attracts us to this blonde is the sheer balance between her features. Those thick luscious lips and light colored eyes can impress anyone. To top it all, she has very clear wheatish to white skin that accentuates her beauty.
Ellen has been on the cover of various multinational magazines and from what we can see, she deserves the treatment. Sheer, clear skin that is almost translucent, couples with those coloured blue eyes to give her the most fashionable and chic look when she dresses that way.
A Canadian actress who has also played her role in the TV series Smallville. Miss Swan is also recognized for appearing in Tron: Legacy and the Break-Up Artist. She has clear blue eyes and a very sweet smile that makes her look younger than she actually is.
Topping our list of the most beautiful women in Canada, Jessica Lowndes takes the crown for those pristine eyes, immaculately styled hair, long luscious lips and long eyes that could have made her look from the Mughal-Era if her face wasn’t shaped that way. A classic example of the Canadian features, she is also known as Megan Fox -Lite.
Beauty doesn’t demand women to be flawless but when we compile these lists, we actually pay tribute to the way these beauties have been personified by nature and transformed by their own will and conviction.

'Skinny' cable and pick-and-pay TV: What you need to know | CBC News Loaded
The end of big cable bills is nigh. Maybe. Here's what you need to know about the "skinny" TV offerings coming to Canada.
Lucas Powers · CBC News · Posted: Feb 27, 2016 11:00 AM ET | Last Updated: February 28, 2016
The big day many Canadian TV watchers have been waiting for is almost here.
Tube lovers tired of exorbitant bills for clunky cable bundles full of channels they don't want will finally — finally — be free from telecom tyranny.
At least that's the theory behind "skinny" cable packages and pick-and-pay channels, which TV providers will be forced to offer to Canadians come March 1.
Is going skinny right for you? Here's a few things to watch for.
Last year, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ruled that cable and satellite TV providers in Canada must offer a pared-down "skinny" option for customers priced at $25 or less.
This grouping must have all the channels on the CRTC's mandatory distribution list, which includes CBC, Global and CTV, as well as public interest stations like APTN and minority French or English language channels.
At least 10 of the channels have to be local or regional. The skinny packages will also have educational channels and the proceedings of the provincial legislature, if they're available.
Providers have the option to add access to some U.S. networks, such as NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX and the publicly-funded PBS, but the price can't increase with those options included.
Customers can then top up their plan with channels not included in their provider's skinny package.
For now, companies can offer the extras either individually or, according to the CRTC, in "reasonably priced" small bundles. These bundles can be a "build-your-own" package of up to 10 channels, or "theme packs."
By December, providers have to offer both.
The $25 monthly fee is for access to the content. Beyond the mandatory channels, any additional content is entirely up to your provider.
The CRTC did not put a limit on how much companies can charge for an individual add-on. Premium offerings like specialty sports or HBO could boost your bill pretty quickly.
"If you want to keep the cost down, you'll have to make a very concerted effort to minimize what you subscribe to," says Daniel Bader, senior editor at tech site Mobile Nations.
There's also additional monthly charges that could cost you. Cord-cutters or those without an HD or SD box will need to buy or rent one to tune in, for example. You could also end up paying extra for HD programming with some providers.
"Make sure to read the fine print of the deal," says Bader.
In short, it shouldn't be a problem. In 2014, the CRTC banned providers from requiring a 30-day notice to cancel TV, phone and internet service in the hope of creating a more competitive marketplace.
However, unlike cellphone contracts, which can be cancelled without a fee after two years, no such rule is in place for TV.
Therefore if you want to get out of a cable or satellite contract and switch to a new plan, there could well be a charge. How steep the charge depends on the provider and the details of your original deal.
The answer, of course, depends on your provider. Many have kept conspicuously mum on the details of what they intend to offer customers. Come March 1, they will be required to advertise the packages.
More details are starting to emerge as the deadline approaches, though. Here's what we know so far:
Calgary-based Shaw, with many customers in the West, posted a 40-channel $25 starter package last week.
According to Shaw's website, its "plan focuses on the basics, providing access to limited programming options." There's a limited selection of extra individual channels starting at $3 per month currently available.
Vidéotron in Quebec also has a $25 basic package, but currently it must be supplemented with a $12 bundle of five channels. An employee told CBC News that this will change by the Tuesday deadline to conform to CRTC regulations.
Rogers originally planned to keep details of its plan quiet until March 1, but after an employee leaked information to CBC News , the company opened up a bit.
It will offer a $24.99 starter package that includes some of the American channels. Customers can add "Starter Theme Packs" that begin at $3 and go as high as $18.
The company has since posted the plan and package options online.
In the case of Bell, a training document obtained by CBC News shows that Bell plans to offer a Fibe TV "Starter" pack with about 20 mandatory Canadian channels for $24.95. Additional pick-and-pay channels will cost customers either $4 or $7.
According to the document, Bell will also require customers who want the basic Fibe plan to purchase internet service with the company as well.
Telus, another TV service provider, previously said it will not divulge the specifics of its skinny plan until deadline day.
That depends on what kind of programming you like best. According to Bader, there are lots of scenarios where a customer's viewing habits make a skinny package with pick-and-pay just as or more expensive than plans already available.
But it does give consumers more options, so "there's no real downside to it," he says.
"This will give people more leverage," Bader explains.
"If you're happy with your TV package but aren't happy with the price — instead of burning the whole thing down and rebuilding — call and negotiate.
"Right now providers are going to be more inclined to negotiate to lower your existing plan than have you switch to a skinny plan or lose you as a customer."

Disclaimer: I wrote this in the fall but haven’t got around to posting it until now. Since writing this, December happened. I lived off shortbread and eggnog, followed by tortilla chips and margaritas in Mexico. Things have fluctuated a bit, but the sentiment of the words below remain the same.
I’ve had all kinds of body types in my time.
I’ve been ‘I think I’m fat’ when I was actually delusional and looked great. I’ve been ‘I’m actually fat’ because I drank too much in my 20’s and ate McDonalds at 2am on the regular. I’ve been ‘I work out 5x a week but there’s still quite a bit of me to love, because I’ve been eating my feelings’. I’ve varied in sizes along the way, but have remained pretty consistent over the past 10 years, pregnancies aside.
Recently, I found out that my newest body type is ‘skinny fat’.
What does that mean , you might be wondering?
It means that I spent my time in Congo being the Queen of Cardio. Not really because I was trying to stay fit, but more, getting fit was a lovely side effect of maintaining my mental health while living on a French speaking compound in Africa for two years. Being a long distance runner in my late 20’s/early 30’s, I knew the positive side effects that the endorphins of running brought me. It was a guaranteed mood boost.
There were times in Congo that I wanted that mood boost, but I didn’t want to run down the sandy roads in my florescent pink Lululemons; so we invested in a Soul-Cycle-worthy spin bike for our living room. Maybe not the nicest for the home decor, but we were living in a 1950’s Congolese apartment; interior design was the least of our concerns.
I used our $550 monthly internet to connect myself to the outside world via Netflix and would spin my heart out while the girls were at school to make sure I got my daily dose of endorphins that exercise would bring me.
The results were a fairly fit Lisa! I was feeling perfectly content in my own skin!
I lost well over 10 pounds in less than two weeks and probably could have fit back into my high school jeans at that
