The Junos came and went… but where were Canada’s biggest stars?
In this episode of Entertainment Is Broken, Richard Crouse and Sarah Hanlon dig into the growing debate around Canadian identity in entertainment… and whether artists like Justin Bieber, Drake, and Tate McRae are still “Canadian” when it counts.
Is it about where you’re born… or where your career is built?
They break down:
Why so many major artists skipped the Juno Awards
Whether success in the U.S. changes an artist’s identity
The idea of being “Canadian when convenient”
Why artists like Joni Mitchell and Rush still feel deeply connected to Canada
And whether Canada needs to rethink how it supports its own talent
It’s a funny, sharp, and surprisingly real conversation about culture, success, and what we actually mean when we say “Canadian.”
If you’ve ever wondered why Canada’s biggest stars don’t always come home… this one’s for you.
