## Resource

Canada is officially heading to Eurovision next year — its first time joining since Australia in 2015 — thanks to Bulgaria’s win with “Bangaranga.” The EBU, which governs the contest, welcomed CBC/Radio-Canada as a full member, paving the way. Though Canada hasn’t competed since Céline Dion’s 1988 win for Switzerland, fans have been strong supporters. With global viewership down 35 million this year due to boycotts, Canada sees this as a golden opportunity to launch homegrown talent onto the world’s biggest music stage.
