I guess pretty obvious. Well apart from Canada, that supprised me. Though no fast corners, I thought because of the loading from braking accelerating hard.

Yeah I was a little surprised at Canada too, so different to Monaco!

Canada only has big deceleration if you want to. You can setup the car so that it'll be quicker for the entire mid-sector, and have a slower top speed at the back straight. It actually balances out, but then you must be willing to take the risk, as other cars with a high top speed might suddenly find it very easy to overtake you.

The canada straight is somehow similar to the gp4 tunnel "straight";(the top speed is a bit bigger at canada, but with only about 5, max 10 km/h), but it's radder the same, and there are some hard parts in the circuit, so i think, is good that bridgestone uses this types of tires.

I was supprised with Canada as well as I thought it was hard on tyres.

France as well is hard on tyres so it could be interesting.

I hope they get them right for the USA :)

Bridgestone has brought good tyres to USA two years in a row now, I doubt they'll much it up this time. Last year's tyre in fact was really good.
