Please can we not have both Canada and Georgia? I don't want either, but if we must, can we keep it to only one? We have such a limited number of slots...
(I say as though I won't love the expac and play as each civ anyway)

Georgia is cool, although I'd prefer David the Builder over Tamar.
Canada is second largest country in the world and quite big economic power. I can't say they don't have right to be in the game.
Is there any evidence the Harappan were unified and not a series of city states with a shared culture? I know we've had Celt and Scythian, but at least they were contemporary names used for the people. The only name we have referring to the Harappan are from Sumer, where they're called Meluhha (thought to be Mel Akam in proto-Dravidian).
As far as I’m aware, no. And this will likely remain the case unless the Indus script can be deciphered. Although many of the cities in the region shared similar traits in terms of how they were structured, the technology they used, and the culture evidenced within them, we have no way of knowing whether they were governed separately or under one leader collectively. Nevertheless, they can still be classed as a cohesive civilisation.
Just before we see the "Leader icons" which suggest Mr Khan, we do see Mongolia's Civ5 colours in the background of the blurred screenshots; burgundy with orange.
I think I also see their Civ5 "flame" symbol too.
I also think they might have a unique encampment? There seems to be a building on the edge of the wooden picket fence that I don't think we've seen before.

I can and will. Brazil in the base game was already pushing the post-colonial limits, and with Australia we now have quite enough former colonies--particularly English-speaking former colonies of Britain--in the game to last us for the rest of this incarnation. Maybe Canada can get in line for Civ7 in place of Australia.
Is landmass or a not-top-5 economy of their time really worth building a Civ around? I get the marketing angle from Firaxis' standpoint and I get the national pride of playing with your Civ from a Canadian player's standpoint, but what does Canada bring to the table that's not already covered by another Civ already in the game (aside from TSL coverage)?
IF Civ 6 releases DLC civs in the periods between every expansion and has 3 expansions? I could be perfectly satisfied with WHATEVER civ they give knowing that they plan to eventually add a lot of Civs.

It's pretty interesting question, what a civ should bring to the game to be included. From developers perspective only 1 thing - more players to buy the game. To achieve this the civ could have a combination of:
1. Local players interested in playing their own country, inspired with addtional free marketing from mass media.
2. Interesting representation in popular culture (since hardcore history fans are a minority).
3. Place in TSL map to appeal existing TSL players. Yes, I believe that's quite a reason too.
I'd say Canada fills 2 of 3.
Other than this I don't think any civ can't bring anything to the table which can;t be covered by another civ. If you point your finger at any country living large enough, like France, England or Russia, you'll find conquests, revolutions, hard defences, scientific and cultural achievements and so on, so forth. Choosing a thing to focus is primarily a gameplay question.

I’ve put this in the feature thread as well. Now go discuss! (because we can’t discuss there lol)
Good job everyone for all the effort in doing screenshots and frame by frame inspections. Now all we have to wish is to pray the remaining civs live up to our expectations and for Feb 8 to come fast.
Well, both the Archivo and the Casa de Contratacion are institutions and seem to have used that building at some point in time. "Archive" (as you need to store more things), seems more linked to the building, but the Casa de Contratacions fits more the age and Tech. I suppose the wonder would be more focused then on (maritime) trade than on loyalty. The Casa de Contratacion ensured the government monopoly of the American trade.
Will it make it a double of the Colossus? When is trading over ocean allowed? Might it advance that?

It could be an econ wonder, but I have a feeling it could boost oversea city loyalty too, the idea being that the Casa was important in keeping tabs on Spanish colonial and maritime activities to an infinitely obsessive level.
The Taj is a more complex beast: will it still relate to golden ages, even though those operate on an entirely different level? The Era Score is point-based, so what could a wonder do other than add points, which presumably all wonders do?

I was calculating with "requiring most of the turns until the game actually finishes" (8*80=640, so 110 turns left), I have to admit I'm not the best at finishing games, but the one game I did finish (playing with 8AoP) I actually needed about 30-35 turns per era in total, which was on normal speed (so about 50 on epic).
What I kind of want to see, however, a game duration that belongs to this game's epic (say, about 450-700 turns) but with production costs like on normal or even a bit faster, and that's a balance that cannot really be found, as production costs are simply too high for how long I want the game to last, no matter the science/culture costs, unless score victory gets disabled.
