HighParker should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Every time I see one of that team's cars,

it reminds me of the main sponsor having its headquarters in a town (Aurora) just north of where I live in Toronto. When you take the train that goes between there and Toronto, it stops at the Downsview station right beside a little-used airstrip just inside the city that, in a similar way to Berlin Tempelhof, could probably be used for a Formula E event without needing to close any major city streets.
Two years ago someone from the Toronto Region Board of Trade had a meeting with "senior Formula E staff about the possibility of a future race".

It seems like such a good fit, I wonder if maybe they're waiting for the lawsuit involving the city of Montreal to be resolved before attempting to pursue the idea of Formula E returning to Canada. Does anyone know what's happening with the lawsuit? The Montreal race was cancelled by their new mayor in 2017 and the last mention of the lawsuit I can find is from seven months ago.
