I'm cool with the MLS clubs and champion getting added in later, but hopefully the CanPL league standings from 2019 are used for seeding in the 2020 tournament.
And semi-related - what's the latest on Ottawa? Are they likely to be in CanPL next year? And if not, I hope that they don't get the similar bye that MLS clubs receive. They should have to slug it out with the CanPL teams.

Given that the number of CPL teams will likely be more than just 7, I think the format is up in the air. Laval has been rumoured to be officially announced "soon" for some time. I'm sure no matter the format, the CSA will find a way to favour Forge somehow though...
As for Ottawa Fury, I think their relationship with the CPL is beyond repair. The CPL wants Ottawa, but as long as OSEG owns the Fury, I would not expect them in CPL. Whether they get sanctioning from the CSA, USSF, CONCACAF and FIFA to remain in USL is still to be determined. I spoke with a few Cavalry players prior to the season and their response whenever the Fury was brought up was "#### the Fury"
