TSN camera’s picked up Dickenson saying expletive Canadians which was later explained by the Calgary bench boss as being in reference to a nickname for the Bombers brass led by Canadians Mike O’Shea, Kyle Walters and Wade Miller.

O’Shea said he is a proud expletive Canadian.

Dickenson apologized for the comment and said it had noting to do with Canadians in general.

“Lesson learned, I apologize to anyone,” Dickenson said Monday in Calgary. “I texted Mike afterwards. It had nothing to do with him personally, by the way, I just felt the calls were coming out on their sideline as some calls come out on my sideline.”
