Love Canada, but European union... is European...?

Gotta love it when people think words have some magical meaning that cannot change ever and hold everyone hostage

"European union" has a meaning - it is a union of European countries. Not much room in that. It's little different case, than idiotic Eurovision, that has competitors from elsewhere.

Also how would that work? How would you harmonize the regulations and laws between Canada and EU countries? I'm all for working together, but this idea is truly nonsense.

From a European point of view, weโ€™ve had a lot sketchier jurisdictions join and Iโ€™m sure Canada could do it as well

Rename to North-Atlantic and European Union

I mean Israel is in Eurovision so....Wouldn't you like Our Lady Peace or Matthew Good to compete in that too? Sloan is also really great. I won't mention the obvious ones...
