I don't disagree with the ratio change, however, I do strongly believe that we should change the ratio around Canadians in skilled positions, receivers, running backs, DB's, maybe LB'ers. Create a true ratio breaking concept.
Find a way to improve the development and opportunities for Canadian QB's. make them a real ratio breaker. A starting Canadian QB should literally be worth any one national to me.
I'm a proponent of the ratio because it supports Canadian Amateur football. There's been a stark improvement of Canadian players over the past decade, especially in those ration breaking positions. We're hiding less terrible players because we have to (I'm looking at you Mr Field goal holding substandard safety Glenn Suitor).
I'd like to see the CFL shift its schedule back to take advantage of the warm weather season. We usually see a attendance dip when the weather drops.
CFL teams should do a better job of reaching younger generations. There are plenty of seats that are open for Stamps games in the upper row, find a way to better reach out to schools and football programs and underprivileged youth to get them into the stands.
Start a Campaign to bring Captain Crunch onto the sidelines of a team to call one series of plays. You know you all want it.

When I was younger and playing pee wee hockey, I remember my teammates and I were able to be part of a youth Stamps club for $30 a year. We got to go to every home game, we were able to shake hands with the players and coaches before kick off. It was an amazing experience. I was already a CFL fan at that point, but I know some of my teammates that were not fans that became fans after that experience. Hopefully the Stamps and other CFL teams are doing things like that to get the youngin's into the CFL.
