"The Amazing Race Canada" hasn't officially announced the competing teams yet -- in fact, you can still apply until February 28, 2013 -- but we're getting excited postulating and guessing on what sorts of people will be cast.
We've already proposed some hosts and potential challenge locales for "Amazing Race Canada," so why not some teams?
These people/teams are completely hypothetical, and meant for a bit of fun. But c'mon, wouldn't it be the height of entertainment to watch The Gos and Taylor Kitsch dominate the landscape? Or have two of the Dragons from "Dragon's Den" put their money where their mouth is? (Prize money donated to charity, of course.)
Vote for your favourite teams in the slideshow. And did we miss anyone? Feel free to let us know in the comments section below!

Paulina & Wayne Gretzky
Hockey's national treasure and his daughter would make a great team. His natural athletic ability paired with her good looks could get them past any obstacle.
Justin Trudeau & Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau
You'd think that Mr. Trudeau would want to prove himself by conquering the entire country on a reality show, with his wife at his side to temper the storm. And if there's a boxing challenge, he's golden.
Kevin O'Leary & Arlene Dickinson
They may be successful entrepreneurs, but could they last in a physical contest? It would definitely be interesting to find out. If they finished the Race without killing each other, that is.
Ryan Gosling & Taylor Kitsch
Yeah, yeah, we know. This could never happen. But c'mon, the combined hotness of this team has to guarantee <em>some</em> success, right?
Hal Johnson & Joanne McLeod
They would probably win -- they're fit, they're fun, and every Canadian knows and loves them.
Dan Aykroyd & Martin Short
If this team was as physically adept as they are funny, then they'd cross the finish line first.
Avril Lavigne & Chad Kroeger
Judging by the size of Avril's engagement ring, they're not hard up for money, but these two rockers could consider the Race as a bonding exercise for their burgeoning love.
Coco Rocha & Jeanne Beker
Pairing one of Canada's hottest models with Canada's fashion maven would be killer -- they're both well-travelled and well-versed with the rules of the road.
Rob & Doug Ford
OK, this one is just voyeuristic curiosity. We admit it.
Malcolm Gladwell & Margaret Atwood
Affectionately dubbed "The Hair Team," these authors might just surprise you with their wily, sneaky ways. Never underestimate the brains.
Rick Moranis & Dave Thomas
True Canadians on a wholly Canadian course? They might stand a better chance than you think.
Elisha Cuthbert & Dion Phaneuf
A Hollywood-hockey relationship teaches you all about hardships. (Just ask Candace Cameron and Valeri Bure.) These two would be able to conquer anything.
Drake & Stefan Brogren
Drake and Snake, a 'Degrassi' twosome? Very unlikely, we admit, but the cross-generational aspect is appealing.
Eugene Levy & Catherine O'Hara
These funny folks (and lifelong friends) would have the advantage of communication -- something teams sorely lack on the Race. Plus you cannot deny the humour value they'd bring to the show.
David Suzuki & Alex Trebek
This team of intellectual juggernauts is intimidating to say the least. Suzuki knows the chemical composition of every blade of grass in the country, and Trebek knows random facts about ... everything else.
Rex Harrington & Karen Kain
These two would flip, traipse and sashay their way from one coast to another -- and look <em>fine</em> doing it.
Jay Baruchel & Alison Pill
Young indie film darlings Baruchel and Pill could bring the hipster quotient and a little dash of cuteness to the Race.
Nerene Virgin & Jeff Hyslop
Wouldn't a 'Today's Special' reunion just warm the cockles of your Canadian heart? It would be even better if they wore their trademark costumes too.
