Canada will make its debut at Eurovision, the world's largest televised music competition organized by the European Broadcasting Union since 1956.

Canada's inclusion, which follows Australia's entry in 2015, is attributed to a strategic shift by the Canadian government aligned with broader global changes. The article suggests this participation reflects geopolitical considerations.
