In Canada on the other hand, people are very european in mind, (part of the commonwealth) and are able to grasp sporting events that are executed oudoors, over a big area, and that you can not see everything the whole time.

So my vote goes to Canada, if anyone would take on the task of spreading the rally sport commercially to a new continent! And if something are to be called a world championship, it need to imo, to include North America.
(we can not do like the US, and call our national series for the world series! But then again, they do not speak english, but american......... ;-)

Sulland, while I agree on that if there's any small chance of a someplace in North America--besides Mexico---having the right frame of mind to have a International, or eventually a VM rally is Canada, I have to disagree with you saying they "are very European" in mind..
If there can be one place that that is closest it would be Quebec, but even there, it's slightly different---which you would expect when the people are separate from "the mother country" for 250-300 years. But while the whole country isn't "very European"---they're different , and most are very Canadian, in some ways, and in some areas---like motorsports of a European origin, like moto-cross and RALLY! there WAS before a LOT of European participants both in organisation committees and in the cars in the woods.
My first licence for moto-cross was back in '69 was Canadian, my first National Championship licence was in '87 in Alberta, Canada for Rocky Mountain Rally (7th overall in the mighty V4 Saab) and my last National Championship event--and licence---was Baie de Chaleur, Quebec in '97 and last rally I drove was a couple years again in snow event in British Colombia 4 hours North of here.

But there's been a generation shift, and as a friend up there said "the border doesn't stop the AM radio or the Inter-net" so the cultural influenza of US ideas has filtered thru and society in Canada has changed somewhat.... Now for example Alberta has become indistinguishable from the oil rich boom state of Texas and in general it is more about money and bling than sport....
much---but not just---like America.. And so as a result there are fewer but fancier cars there also...LOTS of very expensive Subarus filling the start lists, and like USA, very short "rally careers" (lots of very optimistic guys in with a lot of money, but dropping out in a couple of years when they don't get a factory ride and they can't afford to pour endless money into it. Canada is a HUGE country (even if 80% of the population lives within 100km of the border) and travel distances are crazy---5000 km from one end to the other and that's a long way to tow for 200km SS, then back 5000 km..

So sadly in the last 25 years in many ways Canada has changed and become more like its neighbor which some call the Unexplored Southern Area

*when I first did moto-cross in Canada about 60% of everybody there was foreign born who had done moto-cross back in Europe. English, Dutch, Italian, German, Scott, Finns... And it showed in the layouts, the struture of the events, longer and rougher and harder than here---that is why I would drive up 250km to do their eventsrather than the smoother, simpler, shorter events here which were more horse power races.
In rally back then one of the best---and still very good---was Canadian Taisto Heinonen whose son Taisto Heinonen was a moto-cross perv and who won a couple National Championships....sounds awfully Canadian, eh?

In that '87 Rocky Mountain National (which I drove to 1,400 km away (with 5.45 slutväxel i lådan--herre gud det var världens längsta transit dit) about 70% of the organising team was foreign born, and maybe 25% of the crews..)
