Maanca:
It remains to be seen, but in the wake of our federal election on Monday, this show's philosophy of Canadians celebrating themselves instead of seeing the world may have just backfired on Season 8.
With Justin Trudeau's unfortunate re-election, many in the west (very Conservative country) are feeling shut out and now talking separation from the east. If you've noticed the #Wexit hashtag on Twitter, that's what it's about. At least one former racer has tweeted it, Mellisa from Season 6.
Also, the election resulted in a resurgence of the Bloc Quebecois in Quebec, a party that's long wanted to separate that province from Canada.
In short, yeah, Canadians ain't patting ourselves on the back too much these past couple days. I'm born and raised in this country and have never seen it as divided as it is right now. This could spell at least a few applicants, particularly in the west, bailing on their applications.
Travejunkie:
I'd be surprised if it makes too much of an impact. If anything, the show focuses more on bringing the country together and showing how people are people, regardless of their regional/political background. If anything it may help the producers vet the applicants in a different way - I can't imagine them casting anyone who is overtly biased against another group of people. That may be a part of Canada, but not one we want to encourage or give another platform to - there are other more suitable platforms for that discussion.

Where are we hoping are teams will go this year?
I'm hoping for 2 legs in Quebec!! One in Nunavut! A visit to Labrador!
2 international legs! (Something easy like Windsor-Detroit, and Newfoundland-St-Pierre et Miquelon)
NO BC VISIT! :groan: or maybe just 1 lol but not 3 legs
NO VISIT TO TORONTO! Starting line... used in 2 legs + the finale... woah 4 times.
ANDDDDDDD I hope to get cast :lol:
