Maybe in front of the Parliament in Ottawa, for Canada's 150th bday...with some Politicians, and maybe even PM Trudeau hahaha

I don't think it's out of the realm of possibilities. It's a great start line, and with all the spoilers that would appear on SM, they may as well make it public. I would just hope for 24 hr notice. Ottawa is a 7 hour drive for me (on a good day LOL), but I would be there with bells on.

I am in Ottawa.
I could probably also see them in Montreal, if I knew in advance. Even Toronto is a remote possibility.

Why don't y'all look at last season's cities visited and see if it matches up with the racers.

So the interested fan in me took some time out to dig through Twitter posts from last year of Mike, Mike and Mark to see if there were similarities between where they were and where the contestants from S.4 were from. It looks like on Dec. 10 they were in Delta BC, in Dec. 14 they were in Regina, Dec. 17 Toronto, Jan. 9 in Westmount, QC and Jan. 14 in Vancouver. Of course some of these posts could simply be personal travel too.
Also interesting, the racers weren't revealed to the staff at Insight until March 28 (Mike Bickerton's post). Seems like they deliberate a LONG time on things. Perhaps arranging background/health/visas/insurances/notifying employers/last minute changes/etc.
If this is accurate and holds true again this year, I suspect that they will have completed their interviews by the end of this week and will begin the deliberations.
WindsorSue:
Just off the top of my head, Julie and Lowell are in Lethbridge Alberta. They would have had a long way to go.
It's also weird they went to Delta and Vancouver...maybe one of those locations was personal?
TheHippo:
I forget who the posts were from but isn't Delta relatively close to Vancouver?

#AmazingRaceCanada scoop: two of the best cities for casting interviews so far this yr have been Saskatoon & Montréal. Such exciting teams!

So.....looks like we know 2-3 of the team's home bases. LOL
I always argue they should see what the teams from Northern Ontario would bring!! ;)
