Give Stan a Star

I created a petition to give Stan Rogers a star on the Canadian Walk of Fame in Toronto. 75% of the comments I get on my site are from people saying they can't believe he's not already on there. Stan was a very independent man whose focus was on encouraging people. Canadians are always looking for something to represent us; Stan did just that.

As a newspaper scribe and

As a newspaper scribe and word junkie, I spent my life wrestling with words. Stan's imagery in coastal anthems like "The Mary Ellen Carter," ,bar anthems like "Barrett's Privateers" and Canadiana like "Northwest Passage," and make him one of the finest poets ever. Combined with his music and his voice, he is a giant for the ages. Many of his songs could have been sung 100 years ago and will, I believe, be sung 100 years from now. Oh, yeah, and what about "Macdonnell On The Heights"?
