And yes viruses can be in Canada just like anywhere else. They do not respect borders, Hence the worldwide concern over the rapid spread.

It would be really bad press, and yeah I'm sure they do sign multiple waivers, however, there is a certain amount of responsibility by the network to not put anyone in a dangerous position. This Coronavirus is getting worse and worse, it's rather scary to be honest, and unnecessary travel in a time such as this just seems plain dumb to me

I totally agree with you, this is serious business. I don't see how they could keep the racers safe now...flying is not a great idea. And every location requires backup medical and that won't be happening now.I 'll be interested to see what they decide. I expect the US version is hoping to be able to re-film as well this summer...I doubt that would happen either. We are living in a different world right now. :'(

With BB Canada ending their season, interesting that we haven't heard anything about TARC8. At this point, they should come out and just say they won't be able to film this summer. Even if cases fall rapidly in Canada in the next month or two or three, it's definitely not a good idea to have a cast and crew flying all over the country.

--- Quote ---"Although we’re still a few months away from filming The Amazing Race Canada, we are monitoring the situation very closely," Mike Cosentino, President of Content and Programming at Bell Media, tells the Sun. "Any decisions around the upcoming eighth season will be made with the health and safety of the Racers and the crew as the top priority."

That was two weeks ago. The Ontario Premier has ordered the closure of all non-essential businesses in the province by the end of today, which is why Insight Productions had to stop BBCAN 8 and will most likely not film TARC this year.
Maanca:
Unless things improve, it's 100% not happening in May as per usual. Right now in Canada as of a few days ago, at least in my part, you now have to self-isolate if you even cross provincial borders.
TurkishDelight:
It's like I said a couple months ago, "It would be irresponsible of them not to cancel, or at least 'post-pone' this season.. I was actually shocked when people disagreed with me.... Anyways, they did, as they should have, and based on the 'team' that I know who were actually selected to be on the race (Not as alternatives), they have said they will start filming again in July for season 8, but in all honesty, that was obviously just a guess).
I guess we will see what actually happens, but I'm still of the same opinion when it comes to the integrity of a show like this. The people I know blab and blab about how awesome they are, and how they are going to become superstars because of this, and how th eproducers love them and hit on them.... It pisses me off because, well, shut the hell up. It's an awesome show, and believe it or not, the more people you try and swear to 'secrecy' doesn't matter.
Season 8 will undoubtely be back, I just hope they screen their people better in the future because I can guarantee there will be tons of unnecessary leaks once this starts to ramp up again, from the inside based on the 'contestants' I personally know.
Cheers
