This PanAM/CYCC/WYCC issue is black mark on the CFC. The CFC cannot pay for PanAms and Continentals but we should at least be thanking players who represent Canada internationally at these events.
If somebody wants to go to the WYCC on their own dime let them go.
Canada has always had one of the largest groups going to the WYCC. Without paying customers from countries like Canada the tournament cannot be successfully organized. The CFC has always had a permissive policy on WYCC participation.
What we did here helps nobody and is frankly counter productive.
