We start with stunning shots of Newfoundland, he mentions Newfoundland then St. Johns, as we celebrate Canada's 150th birthday.

Teams are being transported by boat to the Queens Battery.

Now team introductions...

These team introductions are the same as the ones that were linked from Twitter during team introductions.

After team introductions...

Now its time to Start Canadas favourite summer time adventure... intro. The team names have a different style... a mix of the US/old Canadian style.

Jon: We have some special Canadian surprised coming your way, then he introduces the prize for the season. A car for each, a trip for 2 around the world and 250k!

Jon: Good luck, make Canada proud, race safe, GO!

Clue: Make your way to Signal Historical Site, first place where transatlantic transmission was received. Decode Morse code which says Vancouver, Capilano Bridge. Teams will then get their next clue + BMO card for purchases.

They are using the airplane font from the USA version.

Everyone asking Deb and Aaron what they are doing lmao!

Teams are flying via Toronto.

Teams are looking for a falconer on the bridge.

all 10 teams have arrived... we were not told how far flights are a part. Deb to the taxi driver: we are on a budget LOL!

Karen: Do we jump into a cab, Bert: at some point we have too.

Adam and Andrea first to get the clue.

Next clue: Find the Gassy Jack Statue.

The cousins caught up with the first flight!

Ebonie is doing the rb.

Sam is doing the rb. They left the cab go.

Ryan is doing the rb.

Ebonie is doing the rb on the screen now... she is going slow. She wants to finish it in one shot so the penalty doesnt weight as much. Ebonie falls! omg this is scary.

Shabbir, Megan and Deb, Ivana, Adam are doing the rb.

Ryan attempts it and falls. Megan is now attempting it, and she also falls.

Karen and Bert are now going to gassy jack are last .Dan is doing the rb, and he says its going to be a nightmare lmao.

Ebonie doing it now. Ryan is behind here. I think 2 teams can go at one time.

Ebonie finishes it!

Ryan follows right behind.

Ebonie is crying now lmao.

Detour: Pedal or Paddle.

Pedal: Sunset Beach, complete bike polo training drills.
Paddle: False Creek, choose dragon boat, one is a paddler, one is a steerer, once the team navigates the boat successfully they will get their next clue.

I was shocked that Andrea & Ebonie were 1) Allowed to be on the 1st flight, and 2) Didn't get an additional penalty for time gained by being on the first flight. That was terrible.

Besides that, I thought the leg was good. Loved the opening task with Morse Code, and they should've made that a task that you couldn't quit.

The falconer was nice to see, as I've seen that falcon before -> http://i.imgur.com/wYE2gQH.jpg

Gassy Jack was a good visit, though I was a bit worried of someone tripping over the chains, as the doofus writing this comment has done.

RB was okay, detour was good, and a maze to the pit stop was fine, though it could've been great if two teams got there at the same time, and they tried to find the pit stop first.

The strongest team seems to be Korey & Ivana so far.

On a side note, I did not hear anyone say the title quote.

Yeah. Sounds like a Roadblock hint, though. Either producer named, or a second Roadblock was cut that we didn't see.

On a side note, I did not hear anyone say the title quote.

Kenneth or Ryan said it as they were running up to the dragon boats.

My Q's: They arrived by boat...from where?

The clue for the polo task read get by a defender...but aside from one shot of a not close guy on a bike I saw no one actively blocking shots into the net. What happened there?

And re the Maze: Can't believe no one put their partner up on their shoulders for a better view!

Overall fun episode though... STill not sure of the rationale of going straight to Vancouver though. ???

Who most impressed you? I thought the sister (Andrea) was adorable and will be fun to watch!

My guess is symbolism of the coast to coast to mark 150... admittedly a bad connection
