On the offensive line, the depth chart lists pretty much the same line as the past few games, Gauthier and import Johnson as the tackles, Dyakowski and Rottier as the guards and Hage as the centre.
Mann and Bruce are the starting wideouts, with McDaniel and non-import Stala as the slots. No Americans listed as backup receivers.
Glenn has the controls, with Cobb as running back and non-import Brown as the fullback. So that's six Canadians on offense.
A little different on the defensive line, with Hickman and McIntyre as the ends, with Bolden and non-import Kirk in the middle. Long backs up.
Knowlton, Floyd and Johnson are the linebackers.
Bradley and Tisdale are the cornerbacks, with Dennis and Shivers as the defensive backs and the non-import Barker is the starting safety. So that's two non-imports starting on defense and eight total, one above the minimum.
For the Argos on the defensive line, import and Twitterer Rob Murphy and Mac grad Chris Van Zeyl are the tackles, with Gagne-Marcoux and Robertson as the guards and Picard as the centre.
Robinson and Owens are the receivers, with Lucas and Rideau as the slots. Boyd is listed as the runningback/fullback with non-import York product Durie as running back/slotback. Quarterback? Lemon Party all the way.
Buzbee and Flemons are the defensive ends with Huntley and Taylor in the middle.
The linebackers are Younger, non-import and Mac product Pottinger and non-import Eiben.
The corners are Middlebrooks and Parker. McCollough and Shell are the defensive backs with Pile as the safety. So two Canadians on defense and seven total.

Labour Day Game Commercials
With the big audience I guess they have managed to get some new commercials for the broadcast. Thank Christ. Some of the old ones were getting pretty stale, especially the Wendy's one. Hadn't seen the Alexander Keith one with the card for his birthday. Pretentious whistling ads for the Toyota Prius. Suzuki, GMC ads. What recession? Retarded Nike golf ads. All good for the CFL and TSN I assume.
Certainly long stretches of play without an ad. Felt like I was watching Fussball onGerman television.
Edit:
Note sure about the Drew Barrymore Covergirl ad in terms of demographics.

Depth Chart, Labour Day Edition
For the Cats, the offensive line stays the same as pretty much forever, Goodspeed, Dyakowski, Hage, Hudson, and Gauthier. Running back is Cobb and the fullback is John Williams. One change for the receivers is Chris Davis back at slotback after a game spent on the bench, in for Boise State alum (and I'm sure a fine university with many Nobel Prize winners) Drisan James. Local boy Dave Stala is the other slotback. Rodriguez and Bauman are the other starting wideouts, with I assume Bruce in whenever they play five receivers, which is often. No quarterback is listed, although I bet on Glenn.
On defence, with injuries on the line, it is Khari Long and Hickman as the ends, with Montez Murphy and Bolden, all imports, inside. Linebackers, Johnson, Floyd and Knowlton.
Bradley is in at the corner again, with Smith the other corner. Thompson and Tisdale are the defensive backs and the safety Sandy Beveridge, the lone starting Canadian on defence.
For the Argos, on the defensive line, Rob Murphy is the lone import. Ramsay is the other tackle, Picard the centre and Keeping and Robertson the guards. Robertson is the running back, with Crawford the fullback. McNeal and Lucas are the starting import wideouts, with Sam the import slot. Mac product and rookie Mike Bradwell is the other starting slotback.
On defence, Flemons and Harriot are the starting import ends. Huntley is the import inside, while non-import Adriano Belli is listed as the other tackle. Eiben is the starting outside linebacker, with Zeke "Not So Much Destroy Anymore" Moreno in the middle and Willie Pile on the other side.
Middlebrooks and Younger are the cornerbacks. Shell and Shivers the defensive backs and Poole the safety.
For the first time ever in the CFL, the Argos will start an import punter and an import kicker, which I suppose is somewhat noteworthy.

Power Rankings
1. Montreal
2. Edmonton
3. Calgary
4. Hamilton
5. Saskatchewan
6. Winnipeg
7. BC
8. Toronto
Montreal and Edmonton are fairly easily explainable just based on their records. For Calgary, Hamilton and Saskatchewan, I based it on points for and points against. Calgary has scored way more points than they have allowed, Hamilton is pretty close to even and the Riders have allowed considerably more than have scored (in fact they have allowed the most points scored throughout the league). Winnipeg is looking better at three and five, although it looks like no Pacman for them. BC is still very mediocre and likely to miss the playoffs at this rate. Toronto I think will have a better record in the second half than in the third half, but coach Bart Andrus has to learn enough about the CFL to stop costing the Argos games.
Received a season ticket holder email, saying that over 27,500 tickets (out of a total available of 29,600 available) had been sold for the Labour Day game. I always wonder if the people in the tents beside the West endzone are included in this capacity or not? Anyways, looks likely that the game will end up sold out. Which brings up another question. How much are Labour Day game receipts worth it to the Cats? Single game tickets for Labour day are $175 for Hall of Fame, $95 for platinum, $75 for gold, $60 for silver, $50 for bronze, $30 for red, $27 for family and $25 for endzone. Obviously the season ticket contribution will be less per seat than the single and I doubt many have been sold at the group rate. Say the average ticket price per seat is $45, that's $1,332,000 for one game. Tack on another $150,000 for merchandise and concessions and that's a big chunk of the $4 million salary cap.
