The U.S. will almost certainly get the Americas slot. If not, Argentina, Mexico, and Chile would all have better shots than Canada.

I just don't see it happening. Even on a competitive basis alone, Canada has to prove it belongs in the World Cup. Qualifying for the thing might be a good start.
Just to add to this, it's almost certain (wink/wink, nudge nudge) that Argentina/Uruguay will be the joint hosts of the 2030 World Cup to celebrate the World Cup Centenary.

almost certain that China will get a World Cup as well. Maybe 2034.

so yeah.. Canada is looking at.. never.
