I feel the only way the Feds especially can contribute $ is if it appears to be used in the building of a stadium for an International Sporting Event (FIFA). It would be very difficult for the Feds to come out and say they would spend a single penny towards a stadium for future use by the CFL after they have already told Quebec City they won't contribute to their new NHL ready rink. I suspect that there is indeed alot going on behind closed doors at this point but thats just my opinion.

Yep. It seems pretty clear that they need to build a simple stadium now that can be expanded if necessary for the CFL. I think this also makes sense -- the feds contribute to the useful public portion and then the CFL makes a deal for any frills they want.
I believe that a CFL team is very likely if a basic 20,000-25,000 seat stadium goes up.
