I can't say how sick I am of hearing people justify Canadians playing for other countries because the CSA sucks or some coach cut them once, or the didn't get enough playing time. Doesn't hold water, it is just an excuse.

We are lucky enough to be born in a great country, that you are representing in international play.... Not the CSA or the board of the CSA.

There are some other details about this bustos kid that are being discussed on the V's forum. Unconfirmed reports that;
- he has been a carded athlete by the canadian government getting a federal subsidy
- the whitecaps encouraged him to take the "opportunity" of playing for Chile

Like I said, still unconfirmed.
