No team in my city but I still enjoy following it, it's a true grassroots Canadian professional league with stadiums growing up in random places like Victoria, Halifax and even Saskatoon, the lack of big sports network coverage has been kind of sad and curious, sometimes you wonder if they don't want it to succeed and why that would be.

There's just not enough interest in the league yet for the big networks to care. TSN doesn't pay a penny for MLS rights.
Oddly enough OneSoccer has media deals for CPL in the US, Central America, India, the Phillipines, and Africa. I think it's more a matter of networks in those countries being willing to pay for the rights, but Bell and Rogers not willing to do the same.
