Meet the judges of Canada’s Drag Race: Canada vs. The World
Canada’s Drag Race: Canada vs. The World will see three fabulous individuals appearing as main judges, who will then be joined by various other personalities over the course of the show.
In each episode, the judges will pick the top and bottom rankings of the week but will not have a say in the final decision of who goes home. It will be entirely up to the queens appearing in the show.
