Thanks to Jurassic for answering my question, which you avoided. The fact that the CFL has to reserve spots on its teams for Canadians to have a job proves my point. In the states, the NFL uses ability as the criterion for jobs.
What would CFL rosters look like if all the spots were open to everyone and the players had to earn the spot based on ability regardless of nationality?

It wouldn't be all American players, like you're trying to infer. Yes, there would be American players; more or less than now - who knows. What is true is that many players from the US don't even consider coming to Canada, often saying "ha ha" to such a career move.
You're the one that implied only the
good players are American and that in order for a Cdn to make a team, it has to be reserved for him. If that is so, then show me evidence that the worst US player is better than the best Cdn player. Because if that isn't so, then a Cdn wouldn't need the reservation that you mention.
The fact that Cdns have earned their ways in D1 schools shows that there are many players who make a CFL roster without the rule you're referencing.
As for avoiding your question, don't be so afraid to use Google
yourself. You're a grown adult - you can do it! I'll start you off: the link is
