I would like Canada to work towards addition spots in the Champions League. Frickin El Salvador gets 3 spots!

Need a real cup competition like the US Open Cup which has teams from all levels.
Well, I can't really argue that. The winners of League1 Ontario and PLSQ are joining next year, but that won't improve things much. I don't know why the hesitation towards PDL clubs joining, I know Foothills has asked.

Maybe the CPL winner will get an extra spot in the CCL? I don't know what will actually happen.

Like I said, I think folks like yourself who could be supportive of it should at least give it a try when it launches. It's not going to be MLS level, but it's probably the last chance at a professional club in Calgary. I don't think supporting Tranmere Rovers from thousands of kms away would be quite the same.
