Group makes ‘very credible’ pitch for Halifax CFL franchise

[Bruro]

Ideally i think both Halifax and Quebec City would be great additions to the league. However that makes the league imbalanced again. Could we put a sixth team out west somewhere? Everyone says Victoria (Vancouver Island) is too small but doesnt the whole island have 500k people? Cant think of any other city in the west that could support a team. A 12 team league though would have a lot more power and appeal.

I lived on Vancouver Island for 10 years in this millennium. A CFL franchise is simply not viable on VI (and that's an understatement).
