The fact that it wants to be the official premier league of Canada means I think people, at least on a base level, will take it a bit more seriously than u23 feeder leagues that doesn't have definitive Canadian content.
My ideal situation is that all major cities have a team (Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton, Montreal and Halifax), and that FC Edmonton and Calgary Foothills move their clubs to the CPL. The Canadian MLS teams use it as a development league for upcoming talent.
One of my childhood visions - and still to this day - is to see a proper, stable and supported Canadian Soccer league so that we may compete with the big boys on the World Cup stage.
