Anyone have any idea what is going on with Chess in Canada?

I happened to find these articles on the Chess Federation of Canada:http://members5.boardhost.com/ChessT...htmlhttp://www...

Talk of restructuring, and potentially going under, borrowing money
from FIDE in order to stay afloat and make their payments to continue
to be a member?

People are speculating the Chess Federation of Canada may be going
under. I am seeing other stories regarding FIDE and the U.S Chess
Federation also (although it isn't as bad).

If anyone wonders why I am concerned about chess, and believe that
even small issues (aka, excessive drawishness on the highest level)
are important, it is because of things like this. If a game can't
support an organized association for it, it is going to have a hard
time being sustainable.

Anyone have any info and insights into this?

1,000 members isn't enough.

Other associations have less and they function. Just curious what
might of happened up there that led to this state.
