The CSA approved the Canadian Premier League at their AGM today, and announced the league and it's first two clubs in Hamilton and Winnipeg. It has been heavily rumoured that Calgary will get a club, and that the Flames will be involved.
This league is a big step if Canada is ever going to get back to the World Cup (outside of automatically qualifying as hosts, that is).

The Canadian Premier League has received expressions of interest from 10 cities from across the country to participate in an all-Canadian professional soccer league and will look to evaluate those candidates in the next few months.
