I preferred the 12 team format but then it's not a "true" Canadian championship since you have Team Canada and Northern Ontario instead of the territories and the territories sharing a team. That being said, Nunavut couldn't even send a team for the women's anyway.
Does it take away the mystique of winning if you don't get to represent Canada at the Worlds? That's part of why we have done so poorly the last few Worlds as the rest of the world has caught up. But we should really be sending our best performers overall for the year, IMO.
We have the Slams to watch Dunstone, Gushue, Koe over and over and over. Keep the provincial and territorial reps in the Brier and Scotties and consider whether those championships should decide who we send to Worlds.
