Rugby League In Canada
Rugby league football is a participation and spectator sport in Canada. The sport was introduced to Canada in the 20th century, but historically has been less popular than rugby union and domestic sports such as ice hockey, Canadian football, baseball, and basketball. However, the formation of a national team in the late 20th century and the start of an amateur domestic competition have seen the sport grow.

“I am not impressed by the Ivy League establishments. Of course they graduate the best—it’s all they’ll take, leaving to others the problem of educating the country. They will give you an education the way the banks will give you money—provided you can prove to their satisfaction that you don’t need it.”
—Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
“Canadians look down on the United States and consider it Hell. They are right to do so. Canada is to the United States what, in Dante’s scheme, Limbo is to Hell.”
—Irving Layton (b. 1912)
