Football in Quebec is a pretty big deal actually...Done right I can see it being pretty successful and a natural rivalry now for the Als and prob bring a lot of excitement for a labour day back to back experience there

Have them wear Hab and Nordique jerseys for a few games. That will get things going. :-)

Brett Lauther escapes the Redblacks; they traded him back to the Roughriders.

https://3downnation.com/2026/09/30/saskatchewan-roughriders-trade-for-brett-lauther-from-ottawa-redblacks/

Ottawa gets a 5th-round draft choice back for him.

Lauther...who the riders cut and the have to make a deal for him...Great moves...I don't think we've done anything as stupid as that ....wait a minute, I may be incorrect

We do our stupid stuff in the games...prep leading up to the games..and post game assessing as to what went wrong and how to fix

a fifth round pick isn't a massive stupidity tax, though.

Was he an old guy? Quebec has become extremely secular, and their use of curse words now is more representative of that and of how forbidden it was for older generations. Its a pretty interesting culture. My wife's family is Québécois, and French is her first language and the culture of younger generations here is much closer to the quebecois then it has been in the past.

I'm actually headed to QC in a couple of weeks, and I'm pretty excited; I love the old parts of Quebec.

Interesting that you said "Quebecois". On my facebook Group page, "CFL History", I did a bio on French Canadian qb (Luc Tousignant) who played for the Montreal Concordes inn either 1982 or 83. I referred to him as the first Quebecos qb to ever start a CFL game. I got roasted by a pretty large number of members that were offended by the word, Quebecois. "He's not Quebecois. HE'S FRENCH CANADIAN!!!!" they ranted!! People were upset. Mostly from Southern Ontario & some from Quebec. From Manitoba west, I don't think anyone cared.

franco manitoban community would agree with the separation of québécois, so would new brunswick.

I live in a french manitoba community, and work with some businesses in quebec a lot. The difference warrants notation imo. The Quebecois are their own thing that’s for sure.

The one thing you can be sure of, when you mix french canadian and Québécois, a fight is bound to happen.

Good on B.C

Be the last we see of him ever..was a marginal end of roster guy at best.

Can't see a team bringing him in

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

Glad to see BC had the balls to cut him...

Has the O'Shea regime ever cut a player who started several games?
