The commissioner of the CFL once said the dream of a franchise in Atlantic Canada is a possibility, but not a probability.

Back in 2010, Mark Cohon had been in Antigonish, N.S., as the league got ready to play a regular season game on in Moncton, N.B., between the Toronto Argonauts and the Edmonton Eskimos.

Cohon had said the idea of a CFL franchise in Atlantic Canada is decades old, but the league still isn't making any promises.

Why not?  The newly established National Basketball League in its first year of operation, put a team this year in Halifax.

The Atlantic Schooners had been a conditional Canadian Football League (CFL) expansion team that was to begin play in 1984 out of Halifax, Nova Scotia.

The CFL has brought together an East - West rivalry in Canada, and it is about time that the CFL stop procrastinating, and meet with civic leaders on establishing a franchise down East.
