In recent weeks, the league has announced partnerships with Mexico, Germany, Austria, France, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Italy.

That being done, the commissioner is now conducting Randy’s Road Trip. On Sunday in Regina, Ambrosie was greeted warmly by the fans as a counterbalance to the chill of an extreme cold warning.

“There is a little bit to be said for a trip to Mexico when you’re in the midst of minus-25 weather, but it’s beautifully sunny here,” Ambrosie told the Regina Leader-Post on Sunday. “I’m a Winnipegger, so this is a Winnipeg winter day.

“It’s perfectly sunny and cold, but let’s not dismiss Mexico too quickly.”

Let’s not dismiss CFL 2.0, either. Some of the details are elusive, yes, but the objective of expanding the league’s breadth is laudable.
