Alongside many major line items, yesterday’s federal budget teased that the government is working with CBC/Radio-Canada to explore Canada’s participation in the annual Eurovision Song Contest, where international singers battle it out by performing original songs, competing under a country’s flag.
Two government sources say Prime Minister Mark Carney is personally involved in the push.
Would they send Robin Sparkles?
Celine Dion is Canadian, of course, and won the contest in 1988 for Switzerland. There was hope and rumor that she would attend Basel 2025, but sadly she did not.
Send BBNO$. He’s got the perfect energy for Eurovision.
