The Final 4 of Canada’s Drag Race, Who Will Win the Crown?

Siblinghood is like the gift you never asked for. It’s awkward and cumbersome, but it enriches your life in ways you never expected or wanted. The final four queens on Canada’s Drag Race found themselves drowning in sisterhood, they found unlikely bonds amidst the drama, and they found themselves in a comically chaotic call with Metrosource on the eve of the Season 6 finale.

Van Goth, Sami Landri, Eboni La’Belle and PM spilled, thrilled and chilled in a zoom for the ages.

Here’s what they had to slay!

EBONI: As much as this competition was great for me, growing in my own drag character, I wouldn’t have had that if I didn’t have this cast in these groups of sisters. There’s something that I learned from everyone, honestly. Sami, you just showed me how to have fun. PM, I watched the way you move, and I’m learning and trying to become a dancer and Van, you help bring out this, like competitive strength in me.

VAN: I learned a lot about myself as a person… It allowed me to look inward and kind of see what makes me tick, how to be in control a bit more versus letting myself be so reactionary.

SAMI: One of the greatest things that I’ve learned is to trust myself more, trust the process more, and not get in my own way, and that’s because this journey makes you face so much of yourself. It’s just a huge mirror and it moves so quickly… So that made me grow a lot as an artist.

PM: As the competition went, I just started to feel myself getting lighter as, like, a person. No matter what happens, I can rise above it… I’m feeling very different. Very artistically ready to just continue on. Yeah. It’s so beautiful.

Which brings us to the burning question on every fan’s fertile mind: what’s next for our finalists?

PM: There’s a lot of travel coming up in my calendar, so I am getting ready, getting my legs nice and stretched because yeah, I wanna dance across this country. I want to take this little, weird alien on the road for sure.

SAMI: Just because the show is ending doesn’t mean we have to end this party. We can keep the party going! I’m going to headline my own show at Club Soda, which is a very big venue in Montreal… Other than that, to all the readers reading this: book me wherever you are.

VAN: Eboni and I are working on a little Scissor Sister tour… I’m putting my foot into everything; I want to work on developing a little one woman show that merges art history with burlesque, drag, rock, et cetera.

EBONI: Yes, Scissor Sisters tour coming very, very soon to a place near you… And my goal is to get more into scripted television this year. I’ve always wanted to do acting and after the monologue and the critiques and stuff that I got, it was kind of like that pat on the back like, yeah, girl, just go do it. You know you can do it. So you might see me, you know, getting a Golden Globe or, you know, like Emmy nominated, number one feature, you know, who knows? Maybe you’ll see me in like the fifth Avatar movie.

PM: You can borrow this costume.

The collabs keep coming! Indeed, sisterhood flourished in the Werk Room throughout the season – how does that feel moving forward?

VAN: I’m not someone to let someone in really easily. I think going through this experience, it was like such a bond. I feel like I gained so much respect and admiration for everyone in the room… This group of people, I think we have a lot of friction sometimes, but I know that no matter what, I can pick up the phone and I can call one of them and I know they’ll be there for me. You can expand yourself and trust people more because they got your back.

PM: Yeah, I just love this cast so much, and it really just opens up a network of people with shared experience. Like, there’s not many people in the world that can say they’ve gone through this experience. And, yeah, just looking at these three people, I know that we all have been in that room together, so it’s been very nice to have people all around Canada that you know, you can call or go see or go stay with.

EBONI: This is, like, one of the first times where I felt like I can kind of be the young one and learn a lesson from a lot of my peers… You guys really do teach me something new about myself or teach me a new perspective. And I’m very grateful for that. There’s just a magic there, a chemistry. And even if we disagree, we’re fighting like siblings, but we also love like siblings. Like we genuinely want all of us to succeed, which is special.

SAMI: For a long time, I felt like a solitary drag queen. Like I had my tight circle of collaborators, but… I was kind of very much in my own lane. And part of the reason why I also wanted to do Drag Race beyond just furthering my career and going through the experience and hopefully winning, was also to be part of something bigger than what I can create on my own… This is a worldwide thing that is so special to know that I’m a part of that.

When prompted to give their signature sign-off salutes, the sisters didn’t disappoint.

SAMI: Follow me on social media, @SamiLandri

PM: Be nice to each other and wear your horns with pride!

VAN: Baby, track record, track record, track record. Follow me on social media, mwah!

EBONI: I know you want it good, and I know you want a great show, ’cause with Eboni, it’s never dry.

And if that doesn’t whet your appetite, nothing will. Dig into the finale of Canada’s Drag Race and keep the proverbial party going!
