In a press release just sent around, Canada's four professional soccer clubs -- Toronto FC, Vancouver Whitecaps, Montreal Impact and FC Edmonton -- have announced they will vote for Rob Newman in the upcoming CSA presidential election.

This doesn't mean much in terms of the actual election. Although we've just learned the voting weights will be tweaked somewhat before the presidential vote, the clubs hold just 4 votes out of 936 in the present set-up.
But Newman is known to be more sympathetic than fellow candidate Victor Montagliani to maintaining or easing the present number of Canadian players each of the teams is expected to carry.
A little early to plan a victory parade, but the endorsement is informative of the interests involved.
Onward!
