All for this.

Why are non-European countries even allowed to participate?
All countries associated with the European Broacast Union can participate.
Brazil, Peru, Japan, India, and even China and the US could participate too.
Russia and Lybia used to be part of the EBU but they were suspended. They know what they did.

Eurovision is organised by the European Broadcasting Union, which includes basically all countries in the European Broadcasting Area (basically Europe + all of the Mediterranean). Those include Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Israel, Armenia, etc. They have always been allowed to participate. Australia is an outlier. They just got a special invitation.

How about the US just becomes provinces 14-64? I'll gladly take anything else.
Nah sorry we're not taking the red states. They can be their own Christofascist hell elsewhere.

You want more convoys? Ingesting the US will give you nothing but cancer. If it's not a city or a suburb, you're just absorbing indoctrinated fascism. It's pervasive.
Yea, I'll take the top 20.
Mexico can take the bottom 30
Why not? I would vote yes to allow Canada into the EU.
As a European, I think it would be pretty funny if, after Brexit, the other parts of the former Empire joined the EU.
But at least right now, membership is probably more of a meme - some solid cooperation and shared institutions would be amazing, though.
EU already said this can't work. It said in the rules only European countries can join the EU. But something can be worked out, no doubt.

Globalists but for real this time.

Well, we do share a land border with Denmark. Sooooo…. we’re practically European already!
Washington, Oregon, and California as Canada’s 12th province. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and the northern 20% of Illinois and Indiana as the 13th.
I only hear Americans pitching this idea. Canada doesn't want any of the states haha
The sane ones of us who live in those states are desperate. Soory

Which is all part of the EU. Sign me up
Well, if Canada can take part in the Eurovision song contest, they might as well join the EU.

Let's just rename the EU to "United Earth" like in Star Trek, since Australia is practically in it already on account of being in Eurovision.
That way we don't need to change the initials, just swap them.
The EU 🇪🇺 is more than welcome to include Canada 🇨🇦 as the 28th member state 🤝
Might be some geographical issues (perhaps of the ocean variety) with this proposal
Well, Ireland is separated from the rest of the continent by ocean. Canada is just a slightly bigger island, slightly further away...
There is French territory just off the coast of Newfoundland too (see Saint Pierre and Miquelon), also Denmark is right next door because of Greenland. So while still pretty far fetched, there is some precedent for European territory in North America.
Canada shares a land border with Greenland on Hans Island.

Maybe canada can be the first member of a post-European EU. I guess we'll need a new name.

#canadentry
Türkiye is gonna be pissed.
Türkiye needs to get rid of its Erdoğan problem then.
Wouldn’t mind it one bit
At a minimum any states bordering Canada, including those bordering the 4 Great Lakes shared with Canada, should get a vote of which country to go with.
Pennsylvania is 100% included, and honestly if Indiana and Illinois go for it despite being on the “wrong” Great Lake, I’m not going to complain.

I'd be happy if we could just join the EEA. I want to be able to work in the EU.

Guys guys guys, let's be good friends with the EU, let's even adopt some of their best policies, but honestly, they also have some baggage we don't need.

I'm not sure why I keep seeing this posted, like it's some sort of gotcha. It doesn't mean our other elections would have to change, just the brand new representatives to the EU.
The vote for liberal leadership used Preferential Voting where you could indicate more than one preference.
