2nd largest in area...not in population. i would love to see a 12 team canadian league, but there arent the markets yet with stadiums. london might be good, no stadium. quebec city would be nice, not a big enough stadium. maritimes would be good, need a stadium. may not be a market anywhere else (saskatoon/kelowna/victoria in 20 years maybe). the other problem is ownership. the CFL doesnt want more shaky franchises, they need to have a good plan, with solid ownership that is committed for over 5 years, with a stadium either in place or in plans to be built.
thats where a few border us cities would be ok, a few more teams, in cities that already have stadiums big enough(possibly). again the problem of the ratio rule though.
