I think we have a winning formula this year with 11 teams/12 legs and they will stick with that. I think we will have still a mix of Canada and international legs: We can still have Edmonton, Saskatoon, lots of town in Ontatio (Hamilton, London, Kingston) lots of region in Québec (the north, Saguenay, the islands) + Northwest territories didn't even have a pitstop so maybe one full leg there! Plus I'm expecting a visit to the UK (motherland) and maybe Ireland, USA, Cuba. :conf:

Totally agree with ur assessment. Not sure about Cuba. Producers are stressing a Canadian connection with International destinations. I expect that to continue for a couple of more seasons until they break free.

I think Cuba might be a good candidate. From Wikipedia:
--- Quote from: Foreign Relations of Canada ---Canada has maintained consistently cordial relations with Cuba, in spite of considerable pressure from the United States, and the island is also one of the most popular travel destinations for Canadian citizens. Canada-Cuba relations can be traced back to the 18th century, when vessels from the Atlantic provinces of Canada traded codfish and beer for rum and sugar. Cuba was the first country in the Caribbean selected by Canada for a diplomatic mission. Official diplomatic relations were established in 1945, when Emile Vaillancourt, a noted writer and historian, was designated Canada's representative in Cuba. Canada and Mexico were the only two countries in the hemisphere to maintain uninterrupted diplomatic relations with Cuba following the Cuban Revolution in 1959.

Maybe matching the contents of that article with Air Canada direct routes could give us ideas for possible international destinations. I think the U.S. could be a highly probable leg. Other candidates IMO could be Sweden, New Zealand, and the UK.

This is the only edition of TAR that I'm confident will survive past 2015. I would love to see a route that visits the Caribbean/Central America and Europe, in addition to the standard legs in Canada. I know that they have to use Air Canada routes, but it's definitely doable.

IMO, TARC is depending on local tourism in their budget. I think we should take note of destinations who are aiming their tourism/marketing at Canadians (especially the ones who suddenly escalate), then consider a "Canadian connection" to those destinations.
IF they stick with Air Canada as the major sponsor (some of the new routes are interesting):

At this point in time I believe production would almost feel...obligated? to go to the UK, since they went to France in season 2. It is also logical, because they could film several legs without returning to Canada, easily hopping between England, Scotland and Ireland or even Wales.

The way TARCAN is going, I wouldn't be surprised if this was an all-star season. :funny:
Maanca:
Since production has said international legs will always have some Canadian connection, there's 3 that come to mind for me:
-Holland, which was liberated by Canada in World War II, so there's a great deal of respect for us there.
-England, kind of a given being a commonwealth country.
-Turks & Caicos, some may not be familiar with this one, but for 20 years there's been interest from both sides about it becoming our Hawaii. I would expect a Caribbean stop to be either there, or as others already mentioned, Cuba.
