5+ things Canada omits ignoring Eurovision Song Contest
If you say “Eurovision” in any country, you will get a reaction. While travelling around Europe, I held an experiment where I asked random people walking down the street what they thought about Eurovision. It was interesting that the reactions were quite similar. I could only divide them into two groups: an “oooh” group (85% I would say) and a “meh” one (the remaining 15%). The ooohs also included words like “tradition”, “family”, “another Christmas”, “united Europe”, “diversity”, “pride 2.0”, “amazing show” while the mehs mostly mentioned “politics”, “clowns”, “do we still participate?” When I asked people in Canada about Eurovision, 100% gave a typical Canadian answer: “eh?”
