Canadian Premier League intends to work towards promotion & relegation - report

I, for one, cannot wait for the debate to come about the merits of pro-rel!

Seriously, though, this is a very interesting tidbit from Canadian Soccer News’ Duane Rollins:

Confirmed with two regular sources: #CanPL will launch with a plan to switch to a *ducking* Pro/Rel system once they hit 16 teams.

Beirne sees CPL teams coast to coast and, eventually, in different divisions.

...but to this point most had assumed that referred to something similar to the two-conference structure of MLS in order to reduce travel.
