Canada could host the CONCACAF Gold Cup next year with little-to-no upgrades needed at any of the facilities. Hosting that event well would do wonders for a potential World Cup bid like the current Copa America is for the US.

Both South Africa and Brazil each had a stadium with less than 60,000 capacity for one of their quarter-final matches. In fact, South Africa used a stadium with a 40,000 seat capacity for one of their QF games.
Obviously, a Canadian World Cup bid would include a massive renovation of Olympic Stadium in Montreal and/or a 70,000 plus seat stadium in Toronto..at least, I hope it would.
