As a fiscally conservative teacher, I find this thread interesting. The only two thoughts I'm willing to put out there on this forum are:

A. Best of luck to the Ontario teams. Hopefully you won't need it in this regard, and everything will resolve itself. If not, some scrambling and hard work should enable you to continue your team.

B. The reason it's so hard to keep politics out of this discussion is because it's inherently political. This is why it's so important for people to become informed, stay informed, and participate in the political process... Avoiding politics because you don't "like" it surrenders what little control you have over the governmental process!
