The one poster nailed it too, CFL used to be a game of quick lead changes to the point where you could almost routinely watch a touchdown in the late stages of the game to take the lead and go "Ohhh, I hope that works out, you're leaving them a full minute to counter!!!".
Games were just more exciting for any number of reasons, and yes, I think parity is a huge one too. It used to be the West that was strong as hell year in and year out, and then you'd have the Alouettes and one other team each season in the east. Now it's just a big clump of mediocrity with the Stamps and Esks battling it out, with no real storylines.
