    Maybe let them join Eurovision first and see how that goes. Always a good judge of character.

      Natasha St-Pier represented France and made it to 4th place in 2001.

        They don’t count unfortunately as they relinquished their Prime Goose status for those events as competing for other countries. I want full Canada, all of the time eh. If Australia can do it, so can our winter cousins (am Australian, literally have Canadian cousins too and we’re both similar countries and people but complete opposites too).
