IMO, there are many good players on Canadian MLS teams that don't get the same opportunities as players from other countries. Once Canadian players are prioritized we can start to improve as a national team.
Yup. Then Canada needs a league of it's own. Being under the MLS umbrella the problems you outlined above will continue because teams need to win, bring in fans, and make money. TFC has never made the playoffs and are losing fans. They are not going to develop players for Canada this year.
