I would make the cfl a farm system of the NFL with a clause to allow 50% of rosters to be filled by Canadian players.

I thought about Victoria but I envisioned that to be about the same as a team in Ott.
Saskatoon is more of a team 13 14 as it doesnt add to TV viewership enough to justify the negative effects on the Riders "sask" aura.
Quebec city I think is ripe for the CFL, the problem is stadium.
I wouldnt make the CFL and NFL farm team, most Canadians outside of Calgary/Lethbridge/Red Deer are very weary of anything American. I think the current deal with the NFL is fine and I think the NFL would be more than happy to shut down NFL Europe if the CFL had a few more teams.
Also to turn the CFL into an NFL farm Team would take too much away from the game (field size etc) There are some rules in the CFL I hate, the 1 point for missed field goal or punt etc.
