July 22, 20204 yr comment_481102 Looks like the feds. have told the league today that we do not fund for profit sports....even though the CFL is a Canadian institution ..They have mega millions for foreign countries but nada for our football league...Trudeau and his gang might look at their WE programme ....might find some loot hiding in there
July 22, 20204 yr comment_481105 Of all the reasons for the CFL to not play this year..this would be THE most unacceptable one. However, is it really a no from all sources?
July 22, 20204 yr comment_481106 apparently this is just one avenue. The league has a few others they're looking into, so this isn't the end of the line......apparently.

July 22, 20204 yr comment_481109 The way the CFL asked for funding was very ham-fisted... every other company is getting CERB wage subsidy and essentially forgiveable loans... Would be good to see the details of what was actually requested That being said, Dunk is getting pretty adept at click-bait...
July 22, 20204 yr comment_481112 There is a very easy solution to the Federal funding dilemma.... now that Winnipeg is the hub for 2021 CFL why could you not funnel almost ALL the expenses through the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (for an admin fee of course)... Winnipeg is the only community-owned corporation that does not issue share capital - its a non-profit. This is just enough wiggle room for the feds to say 'yes' and still be within their rules and regs... If you listen to the Heritage Minister, he is just reciting their policy and basically telling the CFL what words NOT to put in the application... I've had this happen before, its an easy fix - quick rewrite of the business plan.

July 22, 20204 yr comment_481142 You're right they never use the specific word impossible... just extremely negative about everything all the time... https://canadanewsmedia.ca/3-downs-how-conversations-are-progressing-between-cfl-players-tsn/

Especially to hide taxable income?
