The article (in a round about way) basically points to the fact that the MMA lobby is simply too small and weak in Canada.
Canada, The USA, or any capitalist society is run by lobby groups. I know there was an article a while back that had Dana pushing for the UFC to come to Toronto, and if Zuffa puts some real cash in to it, then there is a chance. Until that happens, redtape galore. That and Capt. Fuck Face Hayashi.
I also took some time to call him, and he explained why it was illegal (across Canada for that matter) but the more I researched, and with some help from the Sherdog community, Hayashi's boat suddenly started to sink cause of all the holes that were in his logic. The last nail was finding out he owns a bunch of Dojos.
