Isn't Detroit to the North of Canada?

Only a very small portion of Canada is south of Detroit (Maybe 30 mile strip of land). If you are speaking in general, then Detroit is south of Canada.

Just referencing that when you cross the Ambassador bridge you go North to enter the US and South to enter Canada.

Yes, you are correct. The ambassador bridge runs north & south.

Here is my team size predictions for Canada:

Sports Canada will not compete in: Handball, modern pentathlon. Still possible for no qualifiers in surfing and karate.

 

Artistic swimming: 8 (confirmed)

Diving: 9 (Could be 8, but I predict 9, 4 men and 5 women)

Swimming: 26-30 (hard to tell, due to the nature of the trials). 
Water polo: 12 (confirmed)

Archery 4 (I predict the men's team will qualify)

Athletics: 50 (47 have qualified at the moment, 25 women and 22 men). 50 is a conservative estimate

Badminton: 8 (confirmed, 1 entry in each event)

Basketball: 12 (women's team confirmed)

Boxing: 4 (3 women, qualified, one man is on the ranking list, does not include Mandy Bujold)

Canoeing: 18-19 (4 in slalom and 14-15 in sprint, depending if LVL gets a quota)

Cycling: 21-22 (Road:5, track: 13, mountain biking: 3, 1 in bmx tbc)

Equestrian: 6 (confirmed)

Fencing: 9 (confirmed)

Field hockey: 16 (confirmed)

Football: 18 (confirmed)

Golf: 4 (all but confirmed)

Gymnastics: 6 (5 in artistic + 1 in trampoline, not expecting anymore)

Judo: 6-7 (73kg, 81 kg, 90kg and 100 kg for men and 52, 57 and 63 for women; right now 90kg is out, but if 52kg does well at the worlds, he would be in). 

Karate: 0-3 (3 athletes in contention for spots at the final qualifier)
Rowing: 29 (confirmed)

Rugby: 24 (confirmed)

Sailing: 9 (confirmed)

Shooting: 1 (confirmed)

Skateboarding: 0-2 (2 currently in qualification, just barely). 

Softball: 15 (confirmed)

Sport climbing: 2 (confirmed)

Surfing: 0-1 (final qualifiers tbc)

Table tennis: 3 (confirmed)

Taekwondo: 1-2 (still awaiting confirmation on reallocation for 49kg)

Tennis: 6 (Raonic. Shapovalov, Auger-Alliasiame, Andrescu, Dabrowski and Fichman), hoping for more, but I think this is it

Triathlon: 3 (1 women, 2 men)

Volleyball: 18 (men's indoor, 2 pairs in women's and 1 in men's for beach)

Weightlifting: 3 (2 women and 1 man)

Wrestling: 4 (confirmed)

 

At a minimum: 361 qualified, could be as high as 375, either number would be national record in a non-home/boycotted games, not to mention below, which with luck can bring the team size into the 400's!

 

 

TBD:

Men's basketball (12 athletes)

Men's baseball (24 athletes)

Men's 3x3 (4 athletes)

Thanks for putting this together! This is really fantastic and great showing for Canadian athletes. I share your optimism about the archery team.

 

I'm assuming that it'll be a no on LVL's quota in canoe?

Yea, but they are working the ICF overtime for the extra spot. In theory they could name LVL in the kayak event and ask the ICF to compete in the C2 (not sure if that is even possible), because they have 5 athlete spots for 4 athletes (their k2 athletes are not going to qualify).

LOL! She would need to compete in the Kayak event though then, right? That would be some work around of the rules.

 

On another note after the last chance qualifier I'm feeling rather optimistic about the rowing team surprising in the summer. They seemed to have trained very well for this last meet.

Good luck for Basketball, hoping that home court works in your favor.  As for baseball, it's a shame that at most 2 can qualify between USA, CUB and CAN.
