I bet CFL Commissioner Stewart Johnston enjoyed the MGK half-time show at the Grey Cup. MGK looked like he was wearing an NFL jersey. It certainly wasn’t representing or promoting the CFL. It’s just the beginning of the end for our great game. What a shame.

Yelling into the void
Re “CFL commissioner stands firm against Americanization of Canadian football” (Steve Simmons, Nov. 15). Commissioner Stewart Johnston fumbled the ball by abruptly unveiling rule changes without consulting coaches, players, university sports groups, and fans. As a lifelong CFL fan who opposes planned American-style rules like a shorter field and smaller end zone, I strongly disagree with Simmons’ describing critics as “yellers” and “screamers.” Across Canada, there is a groundswell of constructive feedback from stakeholders urging Johnston to refer these unwanted changes for comprehensive consultation.

What’s with WestJet?
When we retired and moved back from the U.S. in 2006, we had to get new credit cards and was advised by my brother in Calgary that the best one was RBC’s WestJet Mastercard. He was correct, it was a really great card. This year, WestJet changed from WestJet dollars to the point system. In August after receiving information on the point system, we stopped using it. After removing the tilt-back seats and added two more in all their planes, we have decided it may be time to look at different airlines. We would like to support this local business and did for 17 years. But there is a breaking point. Westjet used to fly four flights out of Lethbridge every day. We now have one per day that connects to nothing.

Left-wing awakening?
Is this the start of our new mayor’s left-wing awakening? No raising of national flags? He is proposing of such, he will allow the Palestinian flag to be raised at city hall in recognition of the state that doesn’t even exist? Doesn’t sound like a guy who campaigned about managing the city and not some other agenda that the city has no business spending time as this is in federal territory of business. Get ready, you voted his wokeness in. Thought we got rid of the weak link.
