Very pleased to see the league treating potential expansion as something to promote/tour/build hoopla for, rather than keep under wraps and have everyone always guessing. Let's get communities across Canada riled up and pining for a franchise in this league, like American cities eventually did with MLS and now USL. Let's get big crowds out to our fairgrounds and community centre ball-fields, to show the business communities and politicians how excited Canadians are for local professional soccer. It's much easier to sell a concept when you have a live demonstration. Kelowna/Okanagan Valley is one of the fastest growing places in Canada. I think it would make a great location for a CPL club. And it would have 3 immediate rivals within 1 hour flight.

Southern New Brunswick, Moncton would be a great location to do this. They already have a decent stadium, better than 3 of the current CPL teams. Hosted the Women's World Cup. Fastest growing city in Canada.

I turned off cpl when they were kneeling during the anthem and they have “Pride Nights” . The CPL don’t know who their fans would be. They don’t do that crap in places like the Croatian league. I’ll follow them from afar. I’m born in Canada too !

Thanks for letting us know. I'll stick with the HNL.

Everything here is for marketing, hon. Many industries are realizing that these types of marketing are not effective anymore. They are going back and always trying to find a new one. Honestly, it annoys me even more when I think that even these advertisements are not real. They do not believe in them and just want to show a good face.
