Canada Is Entering Eurovision in 2027 — Here's Who Social Media Users Think They Should Send

Announced on Canada Day, the country will participate in next year’s edition of the international song competition held in Bulgaria. From Carly Rae Jepsen to bbno$, here's who people online would like to see represent the country.

To commemorate Canada Day, it was announced that Canada will make its debut at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2027, held in Bulgaria.

Last week, it was reported that the country was eligible to enter the famous music event after CBC/Radio Canada became a full member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). While the national broadcaster has been an associate member of the EBU since 1950, its full member status allows it to compete in Eurovision, further nurturing the relationship between Canada and Europe.
