If we leave it alone we'll be waiting a very long time. Just look at TFC, it has taken them 5 years to get serious about their academy; proof that professional clubs will serve their needs first with everything else coming second. Even with them coming 'on-track', it will still only help a small portion of players in that city. If we want to see results across the country any time soon, we will need to utilize other measures
as well. While focusing a great deal of attention of a professional league is not of my preferred solution, it can be
a part of the solution Canada adopts. However, it cannot be our
only hope and much, much more work needs to be done and tools used.
