Forget the policy charts and economic graphs, Ottawa’s latest plan to salvage national pride is a ticket to the glitter-soaked Eurovision stage.

Hints of the news came down during the 2025 federal budget, which set aside $150 million for CBC/Radio Canada to “strengthen its mandate to serve the public and to better reflect the needs of Canadians,” later expressing the government’s intentions to work with the national broadcaster to “explore Canada’s participation in Eurovision.”

Canada is practically Europe at this point

And The Guess Who just reunited, so that’s another possibility.
