My question is, would there have been a punishment handed down if the Riders had won rather than getting their asses handed to them? How would that have played out. The other question, what the hell were the refs watching that they didn't notice it? The whole point of designated imports is to prevent this sort of thing from happening. 

Great question. Hard to believe it happened to "Canada's team".

Southern Alberta, the USA- pretty much the same thing.

But then there's this pesky border thingy where you need actual passports everytime to cross back & forth. What's up with that?

Actually, you do not. There's a form of enhanced ID you can get. There's more than a bit of paranoia going on in the US these days, that is, more than usual. As surprising number of Americans still think the 911 attackers came through Canada.

They did. 

Cahoon was born in the US to Canadian parents - that automatically gave him Canadian citizenship. He grew up in Alberta. Under the definition of a non-import at the time he qualified. Under the current definition of a national player there would be no doubt that he would qualify.
