Just as a general tip do not declare something as a fact unless you can back it up. All of these possible districts ideas are either rumors, or educated guesses. Not facts.

To my knowledge Canada as a district has not even been considered.

If Canada went districts it would probably be separated by province. The issue is only Ontario and Quebec really have enough teams to form an individual district. At this point all the geography experts realize there's a lot of land in the other 8 provinces (although I'm not sure if there are teams in some of them). Overall making it a centralized district should and probably will not ever happen. Let's not forget Canada is larger then the US.

Texas from what I hear is also not that close to going to districts being in the same general boat as NY.

Districts for next year have not yet been announced yet so unless your a Regional Director you probably do not know what's going on. If anyone is curious emailing the local regional director will probably give you a clear answer.

For anyone not familiar with districts, the idea is to provide 2 district events and a district championship close to teams. Canada is just too big to provide a convenient district championship for all teams. Additionally, much of the country has too low a team density for those two district events. Canada would have to sub-divide to move to the district model. Ontario appears to have enough teams, enough events, and the team density for a district.

According to this thread from this time last year, the target for a Texas district is 2017. Unfortunately, I don't have any more recent information.

At any given time on any given date, we are exactly 2 years away from a Texas district. Or at least so the rumor says.
