      I mean, arguably, conditions permitting, you don’t necessarily need to be an actual, full fledged member of anything to participate. But in any case, yes, please do, we need new blood.

      Eurovision is organized by the european broadcasting union, not the european union.

          As said, EBU, not EU. Israel is member of EBU, Canada is not. And joining EU makes no difference.

            Canada is associate member of the EBU. Thing is you can only be a full member if your territory falls within the EBA, which isn’t even defined by the EBU but the ITU.

            There’s precendence for associate members to participate in the ESC, though, to wit, Australia, and if Canada were to become a EU member I bet they’d also be allowed in. I also very much doubt the organisers would deny Greenland entry.
