The place where Sukhi and the twins are crying and where "teams are immersed in Canadian History" could be at the Beny-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery.

you think worl war 2 had only britsh and american actual candanas help out in world war 2
I honestly do not understand Facebook fans. They are some of the most stupid people I have seen (no offence intended).Hahaha I totally agree! Some can barely form a complete sentence. The TARC page is one of the few I will write, and unfortunately lately it's been just to comment on the ones who think the "Canada" in TARC means racing just in Canada. I actually don't do it as much as a couple of other people...nods to them. LOL
Let's not forget I mentioned it even before the race started filming!!
So excited to see them going there. It's a sobering place. I've been there myself.
I'm kind of curious to see, with both French teams still in the race, how much they'll be able to use that to their advantage in France :)Well, we know that the Final Four consists of Sukhi & Jinder, Natalie & Meaghan, Mickey & Pete, and Rob & Ryan. Because of this, it means that one of the two French teams will be eliminated while in France. So, it shows that even a linguistic advantage could not save one team.
Like I was saying to you the other day, Sue, here's where I see the flaw in the logic this time: So if the Canadian Amazing Race wants to make a reference to Normandy, it's better to stay in Canada and, say, read about it at the National War Museum in Ottawa, then to go there and see the real thing up close.
Despite that social media controversy, though, international travel has not hurt the ratings at all. In fact the viewership for both weeks in Asia were up over the previous episode in Tofino.

Can we spec about this episode?TAR4 Le Mans to Marseilles: 892 km.
I hope so as I'm about to do it.
The alcohol in the previews is most likely cider as that region of France is a major cider producer, especially something called calvados, a distilled apple brandy. It's also home to two French national stud farms (horse breeding).
Pit stop Juno Beach perhaps? Be a fitting place! Would love it to be Vimy Ridge, but that's a nearly 350km drive (and we know they're self driving in the previews). Is there any precedent in other versions of having teams drive that far in a single leg?

Veteran Jim Parks will greet the teams at Juno Beach. Yes it does say this will be the finish line for this leg. Parks landed there on D-Day. Everyone better have some Kleenex handy!
The article also explains production's agenda to have Canadian connections on international legs.
I knew that would attract your attention Maanca! LOL That explains why they released the information ahead of the show...even though the pit stop location and the greeter's connection was a given anyways.http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/television/2014/08/18/the_amazing_race_canada_heads_to_juno_beach.html (http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/television/2014/08/18/the_amazing_race_canada_heads_to_juno_beach.html)

Great choice for a Pit Stop, and Greeter. I can tell from that article that they really wanted this leg to be something special to Canada :)
Do we see Ryan & Rob in any of the promos? Hoping that it's just because of their non existing edit, and not them missing their flight to France, resulting in coming in last place.
In the new promo on Facebook, there's a pic of Mont Saint Michel, which is 78 miles southwest of Caen.
A really great interview with Jim Parks on Canada AM. Sorry, I could not find a separate video clip for this. His interview starts at the 01:20:48 mark (7:43 am). He lied about his age...he was 15 and in grade 9. On D-Day, his carrier when down, and he lost his weapon. He still visits schools to speak to children.

Apparently CTV has taken the full episode video down from its site. Does anyone know why?
