This time we focus on the Netherlands and Canada. The Netherlands is a mighty nation when it comes to OCM and they have enormous depth to call on for the World Tour. With all this talent to choose from this makes it all the more difficult to reach the magical 50 mark.
  
   Canada is a nation with a lot less depth. What they lack in numbers they make up for in heart.
