No, I don't think it's worth it, not unless the federal government wants to give a HUGE boost to the CFL by giving almost every team a new stadium.
There would definitely be some underused facilities after the World Cup - I suppose there is for most events like this (USA 1994 and others where they pretty much just used existing stadia are the exceptions).
Toronto wouldn't require both the Rogers Centre and the New stadium. Vancovuer wouldn't require both BC place and the expanded stadium. Some of the other expanded stadia would likely be a little too big for the amount of fans they would get most of the time for CFL games. Regina, Winnipeg, Hamilton, Halifax probably would want to shrink their stadia a bit after the world cup in order to not feel too large for CFL football.
Calgary could use a 40-45k stadium for CFL if the stadium was nice (it would have to be), Montreal too (perhaps Montreal could get a new CFL stadium out of the world cup too, I didn't have it in my original list). However, If Montreal got a nice new stadium at around 50,000 seats, that would definitely be the end of the Big Owe.
