Factually incorrect.
Yes, there will be more Canadian teams
qualified for CMP than ever before. It very well may be
possible to build an all Canadian alliance in any division (there have been many CMP divisions in the last 10 years where this was possible)
Where you're wrong is the third point. There are no other Canadian teams even remotely close to the strength of 1114 and 2056. 610 is the closest, and even they can't hold a candle to 1114 or 2056.
Using OPR as a metric, at GTREast, 2056 alone was approximately the same strength as 1241 and 4343 combined.
Don't get me wrong, many of Canada's second tier teams (610, 1241, 1310, 1334, 4343, 772, 4039, and more) are plenty strong. Strong enough to win regionals in many other places. Strong enough, even, to perhaps make Einstein, but 1114 and 2056 are just so much stronger than anyone else here, to say that any other all-Canadian alliance could be similarly strong to an 1114+2056+4334 alliance is just wrong.
