If Australia can be at Eurovision, why not Canada?

Canadians are feeling a serious case of Fomo (fear of missing out) as millions of people around the world tune into the Eurovision Song Contest. The immensely popular international singing competition features contestants from 43 countries - but not Canada. Despite producing plenty of international pop stars - Bryan Adams, Shawn Mendes and Celine Dion - the country has never been invited to compete. Now if there is one thing Canadians truly hate, it is getting left out of things. Just try bringing up the UN's National Security Council at a dinner party and watch your Canadian friend turn as red as the maple leaf flag. Getting left out of Eurovision while Australia - Australia! - is allowed to perform is an insult too great to bear.
