When will MLS expand again into Canada?

I highly doubt we'll ever see another one in Canada.

With expansion fees being talked about now up to 200 million USD, I can't see how a market the size of Calgary, Edmonton or Ottawa having the corporate heist to finance that kind of debt, pay their players in US funds too including competing with the big market clubs for the high priced DPs to maintain enough interest to be viable.

There's enough larger US cities interested that MLS will value more for their national footprint.

Once the expansion money dries up, there can be big growing pains down the road especially if the single entity model is ever dropped. If the CPL is up and stable, may be a nice landing spot for teams in trouble!

Let's hope not as we need less MLS in this country than more. MLS was designed to develop the US national team and that is what it has done well with help from Toronto FC. It has done next to nothing for Canadian soccer. Our national men's program will only get better if we have a national soccer league of our own like we used to have with the Canadian Soccer League back in the late 1980s. BTW, how well supported was that league in Toronto?

Well stated Ravi, we all know a Canadian soccer league would be grossly inferior to MLS😛

With Canada 118th in FiFA rankings (http://www.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranki...men/index.html), it certainly has done next to nothing for Canadian soccer. I agree about the Canadian Soccer League.
