Don't know if there's ever been a player's strike in the CFL, hope cooler heads prevail and there is no strike.

The CFL has only had one strike, that was in the 70s and no games were lost

According to a memo between the league and the PA, they are not in a legal strike position in 2 provinces (Ontario and Alberta) which covers 5 teams.

They started talking again on Monday plus yesterday with meetings scheduled again Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next week.

Both sides know the clock is ticking.
