Our best players are Americans, most fans want to see the best players out there. It's funny that out of all the sports teams in Toronto, the team with the mandated Canadian ratio has the lowest attendance.
This ain't the Olympics guys, it's pro-sports. We are trying to get more fans to follow the CFL especially in Toronto with the millenials, they couldn't care less if there are Canadian starters. You think the 28k to 30k young people that show up at BMO for a TFC game care if there are Canadians playing? Same with the Jays and the Raptors, they have the younger crowd that the Argos need to attract.

It's not like we are preventing Canadians from playing football because we lowered the Canadian qouata. There are 129 Canadians playing in the NCAA right now, our best players are getting scouted in high school and offered scholarships. The CIS is getting the leftovers and with fewer kids playing football the CFL is having a hard time maintaining the current level of Canadians to fill 9 teams.
