If the Ottawa Fury and FC Edmonton are in the mix, you can expect at least some NASL level of play. The other clubs will have to bootstrap themselves up to that level to compete.
The staffers are probably all told to say that. I'm a Season Ticket holder as well. I'll have to ask at the next game. But the sources are all saying that there will be an Ottawa team in the league and I can't see it being anything other than the Fury. Also a lot of us were stung by the fact that so much of the team bailed at the end of last season due to the devaluated Canadian Dollar. If all teams play in Canada, you'll never have to worry about that happening again. The MLS clubs have USD reserves so they aren't as affected by these exchange rate shifts.
More discussions of the CPL rumours, vote on labour day weekend and announcement maybe later this year (Grey Cup week):
