It cracks me up to learn of the differences between Canadian football and American football.
I would like to know how "holding" is a "cheap" foul?
Team A accomplished their of scoring a TD, even with B holding. Kudos for team A - decline the foul and move on.

There was a discussion earlier this week about A having a penalty during the last timed down (the illegal forward pass question) and team A gets another shot - since the game can not end on a penalty... Is that also true in Canada? I seem to remember (as a highschool player-so I didn't really KNOW the rules) that someone told me the game could not end on a defensive penalty, but could end with an offensive penalty.
Or do I misremember?

In Canada, the game cannot end on any penalty, unless declined by the non-offending team. In the case above with team A, declining the foul gives A a TD, which is not a good thing.
We can flag this act as an "offside pass", which carries a penalty of no more legal yards can be gained after the pass. B could accept the illegal act and end the game without a TD by team A.
