Couple of things:

1) There will be no all Canadian alliance, and certainly not one capable of reaching Einstein.

There will probably be some alliances that are 2/3 Canadian, and one of those alliances may even make Einstein, but no Eh Team reprise. Galileo has the majority of the strong Canadians (610, 1114, 1241, 2809, 4039, 4069), with Curie coming second (1310, 2056, 4814), and Archi has 1334.

1114 is the strongest in Galileo, but none of the Canadians in G have enough strength in auto to seed #1. Most likely, Galileo's #1 alliance will be 118/1114.

2056 is strong enough to seed #1 in Curie, but they're not going to be looking for another ground pickup that does the 7-under-the-pyramid (like 1310 does). 1310 or 2056 would have to learn how to do a wing-to-wing 5 disc auto if they're to be allied. 67's FCS+1114-esque climb-n-dump is deadly, and would probably be a stronger ally than 1310, even with a wing-to-wing. Yes, 1310 has a FCS too, but its not as quick or accurate as 67's.

2) It is unlikely that 1114 will remain the only 4 digit team to win.

Too much of the strong firepower comes from newer teams for 1114 to remain the highest numbered team to win. About the only way I can see this continuing is if Archimedes is our eventual champions, with an alliance of 254/469/[other sub-1000 team (maybe 11,33,51,71,365, or 910)]

3) There will be at least two Canadian teams on Einstein, with possibly as many as 4, but they will all come from Curie and Galileo.

Obviously the easy choice would be to suggest that 1114 and 2056 make Einstein, but its likely that 1310, 4814, 1241, 610, 4039, or 4069 could end up along for the ride, regardless of if 1114 or 2056 make it.
