Help vote Earl Fee into Canada’s Walk of Fame, their own Oscars
Oscar nominees were announced yesterday, and masters track was snubbed again. But in Canada, Earl Fee has a shot at stardom. Writes Doug Smith from Ontario: “Canada’s Walk of Fame recognises the achievements of exceptional Canadians once a year at a star-studded Academy Awards-like show broadcast on TV. Recent inductees include singers Anne Murray and Brian Adams, director James Cameron, actors Michael J. Fox and Kim Cattrall, wheelchair athlete Chantal Petitclerc, NBA player Steve Nash, etc. We think that Earl Fee more than deserves to be inducted in Canada’s Walk of Fame. . . . so we invite you to visit canadaswalkoffame.com/nomination.”
