So we have a home game on Canada Day and the Ticat organization does absolutely nothing to mark the occasion. I can’t help but think that this is a sign of a bigger disconnect. No singer or band for any National Anthem, no halftime events. Aside from the advertising giveaways, there is nothing to engage the crowd. Opps pardon me, there is always “ Sweet Caroline”!

But, the team kept their Canada Day record rolling.
The Tiger-Cats are the only current CFL team to have never won a game on the holiday. Now 0-5.

Agree … but that doesn’t (IMO) excuse not “marking the Day” in at least some respect

The team is not having anthem singers this season. Probably ran out of singers.
I'm sure they could dig up that lounge singer from Los Vegas who butchered the Canadian National Anthem at the Los Vegas Posse game back in the '90s. He'd work cheap.
Since there are no games on April 1st, that would be for a Halloween game presumably
If they had to pony up for anthem singers then in order to pay them they would have to charge an extra couple of bucks for a hot dog and a beer at the game .

There’s been times when the F-18 flyover was the best part of the game.

And so now I’m watching the Argo/Bomber game and they sing the Star Spangled Banner in honour of Independence Day. Ya, there’s bigger things going on.
So forgive me for reviving an old thread, especially one that I created, but in light of current sentiments, I would love to see the Ticat organization go ‘ elbows up’ on celebrations at our season opener game ahead of Canada Day.
What are your thoughts? What would you like to see?

Using whatever tool you have to promote game attendance is always a good thing.

This is the year, more than any in recent memory, that the CFL could and should take full advantage of this “Made in Canada” and stronger Nationalism right now. I hope they don’t “drop the ball” . I think a campaign focused on a “Made in Canada” type idea should be used all season

How about pulling all products that are not Canadian. For example, Nathan’s foot long hotdogs sold on the west concourse.
Huge signs to “Buy Canadian”.
Fly by of multiple war planes from Mount Hope.
Maybe a t-shirt give away (like in the old days😁) or inexpensive one combining Ticat and Canada Day celebrations.
“Canada is not for sale “ or “Elbows Up” etc plus a tie in to the Ticats and the CFL.
I’ve worked with Americans and worked in the US. Other than true border states, Americans know almost nothing about Canada. And don’t really care.

How about pulling all the Chinese products from the shelves?

This is a football topic, can’t we just keep the hate in the “lounge”
There are 5 threads that people are commenting on and they all involve hating Trump, hate yanks etc
Move on, stick to football

Agreed - if we want to brainstorm some really cool ‘pro-Canada’ ‘pro-CFL’ or ‘pro-Ticats’ things to do in this thread lets have some fun. If it devolves into anti Chinese, American, Russian, etc, we will have to shut this down. I don’t think it’s wandered too far off course at this point, just making sure we stay in a good place.

It would make for some pretty short lineups at the souvenir stands though .
