Not sure the rules for posting on the Canada board, move or delete if necessary!I am pretty sure I posted a sighting there back in May. I remember checking at the time and it was closed May 22nd for a private function.
Saw the Diefenbunker Museum (a Cold War bunker) in the previews. Was just there this summer! Not going to be easy finding a hidden clue in there!

They may have gone to the Diefenbunker (P.M. Diefenbaker's Cold War Era bunker) just outside of Ottawa

@phdinparenting @AnatheaT apparently they maybe went on a boat - they also went to the diefenbunker
1:35 PM - 30 May 2014
I checked the Diefenbunker's FB page and apparently they were closed for a private event. https://www.facebook.com/diefenbunker?hc_location=timeline (https://www.facebook.com/diefenbunker?hc_location=timeline)
Their hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. so I am thinking IF they went there, they didn't go there first thing from the airport, or why close it for the whole day.
Caps 49 & 50: What's up with Meaghan? Where's her paddle? Why are they headed towards the flooded bank, rather than Ryan who is getting out of the kayak at another place?
Cap 1 shows Ryan (it looks like him, anyway) running out of the plane with Hockey.Caps 49 & 50: What's up with Meaghan? Where's her paddle? Why are they headed towards the flooded bank, rather than Ryan who is getting out of the kayak at another place?
Isn't she throwing the paddle on the nearby shore (something is not so clear in the top left corner of the cap)? Maybe they are looking for something along the shore as they go by?
Another question: at the airport-running caps I cannot see Ryan and Rob with the other teams. There areonly NM and MP at the same ones together. Is it possible that RR took different flight?
No they all took the same flight. Okay I see the blur. But it is still odd because that is a flooded shore (prob from spring run-off) and Ryan is getting out of the kayak in a totally different place.Cap 1 shows Ryan (it looks like him, anyway) running out of the plane with Hockey.Caps 49 & 50: What's up with Meaghan?

Finale will air in 6.5 hours!4 hours!!! :conf:
Well did Jon say "4 countries" at the final pitstop? :res:
I don't see a problem with that.
Wikipedia defines a "country" asQuoteA country is a region identified as a distinct entity in political geography. A country may be an independent sovereign state or one that is occupied by another state, as a non-sovereign or formerly sovereign political division, or a geographic region associated with sets of previously independent or differently associated peoples with distinct political characteristics.
So its not out unreasonable to classify Macau and Hong Kong as countries!

So I could say Texas is a country and P.E.I is one too. :)

Hong Kong is an SAR, which is not comparable to Texas or PEI, because they are comparable to Guangdong or Jiangsu.

Hong Kong is an SAR, which is not comparable to Texas or PEI, because they are comparable to Guangdong or Jiangsu.
But before Texas became a state of the US in 1845, it was a sovereign nation (The Republic of Texas, 1836-1845).
Plus, the SAR refers to a closer relationship than that between Scotland and England, for instance.

...your Texas argument is irrelevant because it's a state and does not have the same degree of autonomy as an autonomous republic would...such as the SAR :lol:
Also no SAR-PRC is different to Scotland-England, because Scotland-England share things like democracy and multiparty states, whereas the SAR-PRC, only one does. Unless you can prove otherwise, I call bs on that too.

Please peruse the definition of the word "country" provided by Wikipedia cited by Leafsfan. I define Texas as a country because it's concordant with the condition "as a non-sovereign or formerly sovereign political division."
Both Canada and the US are federal countries which I reckon every state has some certain autonomy, unlike unitary-government-type nations.
Pertaining to sharing the ethos of democracy, I don't see it in the definition, hence I don't think it has anything to do in defining a country.
P.S. Now the Wikipedia page of The Amazing Race Canada 2 says the number of the countries visited is 3. It's much safer to say in this way I guess.
