TAR 30: Pre-Race Speculation

It can't be the proximity to the US since they've gone to Mexico of course. And they can't think Canada is too similar to an American city location, for example. Very strange.

My thoughts exactly. I've always thought it'd be cool for them to have a starting line in Washington, D.C. and then have their first clue be "You're currently in the capital of the United States. Now fly to the capital of Canada - Ottawa." Plus they could make it a public leg (or at least half-public. They could do a few tasks in Ottawa and then take a train to a quieter town like Kingston or Brockville), that way fans could would know where in Ottawa they were going! I think stuff like that might be able to boost ratings in not only the U.S. but in Canada as well!

Im Canadian and Canada is VERY different then any American city. I've been to a lot of major cities here. They really should visit Canada cause it will bring up booth ratings and u can have a cheap European like leg in Quebec, a traditional aboriginal leg in the north, an awesome coastal leg out east, a bustling city leg like no other city leg, and a cheap asian leg in Vancouver.
I would also like to c TAR Canada VS USA with a similar format to Hamerotz Lamillion where they r split into two groups (in this case Canada and USA) and then they join in Leg-2. IMAGINE having two American National Hockey players race against two Canadian National Hockey players :funny:
Sry for writing a big oleeee rant

BVM did mention in an interview (a long time ago) that the point of the race is to put racers outside their element/the known. Putting a leg in English speaking Canada (where the difference to the USA is not a lot) would be contrary to that.

What about Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and United Kingdom?

fwiw if TARUS did a Canada leg I imagine at least one leg would be in a large city; given that I can't trust TARCAN to make a good domestic leg I have little faith of the mothership doing it justice.
Montreal or Quebec City would make for a good first (or penultimate) leg destination, especially in lieu of more expensive European legs.

Montreal would be better for a penultimate leg as a largest Francophone city in Canada as teams could arrive from the previous leg in Europe.
