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.

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’m Canadian, I don’t hate the idea.

In any case, it’s clear that the USA is less “United” these days… It’s more just … The States of America now.

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.

All countries associated with the European Broacast Union can participate.

Theoretically yes, but associated members (in contrast to full members) still need to be approved on a case by case basis.

Active members (as opposed to associate members) of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) are eligible to participate; […]. Associate member broadcasters may be eligible to compete, dependent on approval by the contest’s reference group.[49]

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.

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

I think it is not that hard for you if you are a Canadian citizen. The language is the real problem.

It is as difficult for us as it is for an American. It’s not very common to be able to get a work permit without an employer sponsoring you and most EU employers have enough selection in Europe they don’t need people from North America.

I speak French (fluent), Spanish (good but not well enough for a formal workplace), and enough Danish to make myself understood
