Canada NFL Expansion:Gov’t Legislation Will Not Allow It?
Some of you will remember when the USFL tried to expand to Toronto and Canada in the 70’s, team was awarded and became the Toronto Northmen, the government would not allow it and proteded the CFL with federal legislation tabled and which would have prevented the US league from coming here. Resulting in the Northmen moving and becoming the Memphis Southmen.
Now, with free trade this may be a problem, maybe?, surely the Conservatives would not allow the NFL and would immediately legislate same.
Not that the NFL will ever come here for many reasons, but in case it ever was to occur there is no question in my mind how this Canadiana as being a true fabric of our nation would result in proctectionism.
