The point was that, a lower percentage of people in those cities, support the league than in Regina, etc.
You can always find a small group of people to support a cause any place you go. That however wasn't the point. The point was that by and large, the supposed "world-class" cities of Canada support the CFL at a much lower rate than those on the other end of the spectrum. It's a fact.

But with most per capita arguments the little places involved are going to win out.
The "world class cities" in the US also support the major sports leagues in their cities less compared to the little working class cities.
Is the NFL a bush league because GB supports the Packers better than NY?
Jacksonville supports its team better than the non-existant team in LA?
Per Capita Buffalo gets a lot more fans than Chicago, Philadelphia and Miami. Are these not world class cities with educated fans. (Okay Philly may be a stretch there
)
