TAR Canada 9: Bitch, Moan & Squeal Here! *POSSIBLE SPOILERS!*
Brannockdevice:
I don’t know why this specifically bothers me, but it bugs me how the route itself tends to criss cross. Why do provinces hold non-consecutive legs? Like, why not have three legs in Ontario (NOTL, Windsor, Toronto) and THEN go to Saguenay? I know it’s a very minor thing but it just irks me for some reason. Maybe it’s just me.

Might be because the original show goes around the globe nearly every time and it's force of habit? Lot of people here very reliant on a classic way of thinking about the show, and certain things are just muscle memory.

The ethios of the show is planes, trains ..if there are no planes and trains in 3 episodes, it kinda defeats the purpose .

Basically, to receive government funding, a TV or movie production must feature a certain percentage of exclusively "Canadian" content. Which in short means a route entirely outside Canada is impossible unless they did it on their own dime.
This law really stifles creativity in a sense, but it protects Canadian productions from being too Americanized.
