Please stop comparing the CFL to the NHL, you are sounding very silly.
I'm not the first person to bring up NHL in this discussion, Quebec planning their arena is a valid topic to look at as we look at funding our sporting infrastructure here. Feel free to stick to the main Canadian stadiums thread if you don't like this one.

And I'm not making up the merchandise comparison; the only Canadian sports teams to outsell the Riders the last while are the Leafs and Habs. Here's an article in the Toronto Star for you to peruse.
