The thing is, 'topping out' at MLS still produces WC level national team-quality players. When you already have three leagues in this country playing at a superior level I can't fathom how this Canadian league is supposed to be comparable, especially when it's nowhere to be found in Canada's biggest population centers and thus is denying itself to a huge chunk of Canada's potential talent. Unless Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto flip over, this thing reeks of a half-measure token gesture that exists simply to get a WC bid approved.

Couldn't agree more. I think this league is unfortunately destined for failure, though I certainly hope for otherwise!
