With CSA's new Strategic Plan, along with the explosive growth of soccer in this country along with new MLS teams and potentially two more eventually (Edmonton and Calgary), along with the awesome mix of races and ethnicities in this country, Canada could be an intriguing location to look at for FIFA for that year.

I could see the talk of Halifax getting a new stadium perk up again for this.
Soccer is very popular in the HRM, when you add the ability to use it for St. Mary's football games and a potential CFL team and a permanent venue for outdoor concerts.
If this is done right they we could put together a great nation-wide event.
Could we get the same numbers as the US? No. But, then why not have it in the US every four years? Or England, or Spain?
This could be a good shot in the arm for the CFL as well
