I think this was interesting. Not only is Canada in a healthy position to expand with major league sports teams over the next two decades, but Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa will be ready to host MLS franchises by 2035.

I suppose it's nothing overly new and seems like a fair plausibility anyways, but nice to know that we're moving the right direction. I believe a Canadian berth into the World Cup in 2016 (cross fingers) and a successful hosting of the 2015 Women's World Cup will do wonders for soccer in this country.
