[Via Euronews: Fact check: Can Canada apply to join the EU?]
Short answer: no, because it isn't located in Europe.

@s1m0n4 we'll let them join eurovision?
@sadedoes they could start with Eurovision indeed!
@s1m0n4 boooo, that constitution needs an update
@s1m0n4 …but we share a land border…
@WTL Morocco has a Spanish enclave in its territory, yet it hasn't passed the requirements either.
I suggest Canadians to start with the #Eurovision contest and beat the Australians, then we'll see!
@s1m0n4 I don't really watch reality-TV, but I do know it is wildly popular.
@WTL it's a music contest, not reality tv. The show doesn't follow the everyday life of contestants.
A song for each country is performed, a jury in each country gives their votes and then the people can vote by sms (for any country except the one they live in).
The best part is at the end: the minute of live broadcast the host person from every country has to announce local results. Some talk a lot, while others are more pragmatic. The cultural diversity is really cool
@woollypigs @WTL I dream of the day #kpop will enter the #eurovision
