When the Concacaf champions league started in 2008 it was made clear that the MLS spots belonged to the USSF. So if a Canadian MLS team were to win the league (at the time that was only Toronto and they were a long way from contending back then), they would not enter the champions league. This was also the year that the Canadian Championship was introduced in it's current format, with MLS Toronto and USL Vancouver and Montreal playing out a round robin for the CSA's champions league spot. (Fun fact, despite Toronto being the only MLS team, it was actually Montreal that won and did quite well in the champions league. I'm sure the diehards on here remember them selling out the Olympic stadium for their quarter final against Santos of Mexico!)

I would assume that this is still the case and the MLS spots are only for US based teams, but I dont really feel like googling it right now [emoji28]

And THEY bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh, this is a Nazi bar now. And its too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.
