Randy Ambrosie knows it’s going to be as big a part of the Grey Cup conversation here this week as the game itself. It already is.

The new “Git ‘er Done” commissioner of the Canadian Football League took the Grey Cup to Parliament Hill here on Tuesday to kick off the 105th celebration of Canadiana with the topic of finally having potential owners surface for a Halifax team to make it a coast-to-coast league on the minds of arriving fans.

“I haven’t gone anywhere where it hasn’t come up. It’s almost become like it’s become part of the national psyche now to get that 10th team, that last piece of the puzzle to make it a coast-to-coast league,” Ambrosie said here as he began his nonstop schedule of Grey Cup Week appearances.

“I’m hoping this energy we’re feeling will help move the project forward. I believe with things like this that it either has momentum or inertia and, right now, this has a lot of momentum.”
