You guys have made my day, thanks so much!
While normally I wouldn't be so interested in Amazing Race spoilers, the one thing I wished for Canada season 2 was for it to race outside the country (not that Season 1 was bad by any means, I think they handled the one-country route better than Amazing Race 8, and the tasks were just as tough if not tougher than recent seasons), and I am thrilled to see that indeed they have.
New this year was a clause in the application about requiring a valid Canadian passport and being able to travel around the world, but the show's FAQ never actually confirmed it.
