Are there any non caucasian star in the walk of fame? Lil Flip246 23:04, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes,Buffy Sainte-Marie and Kenojuak Ashevak are First Nations people, while Robbie Robertson is part Mohawk. -Dhodges 23:40, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

And Ferguson Jenkins is African-Canadian. ~Scorpion0422

But the majority is caucasian, even though canada is one of the most multicultural countries in the world. Lil Flip246 03:16, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

But it's not that the Walk of Fame is being biased or descriminatory or anything. There really aren't any visibile minorities who meet the qualifications and are fully deserving, except maybe Graham Greene and David Suzuki. ~Scorpion0422

[edit] Any need for the 2005 inductees section?

I was wondering if that should just be deleted. I deleted the 2003 induction ceremony section a while ago because it only mentioned the ceremony. So, what do you guys think? is there any need for the 2005 inductees section, because if we keep that, maybe we should do one for each year. ~Scorpion0422

[edit] Worthiness of those immortalised

While no one is suggesting that the people remembered on the 'Walk of Fame' are not wonderful or good people, worthy of acclaim, this does not warrant the use of the word 'amazing' to describe them in this Encyclopedic entry. It is a weighted value-judgement clearly expressing a preference for THESE people, as against all other people, and therefore should most certainly not be allowed. I have changed the entry to reflect this, suggesting that those 'remembered' on teh Walk are accomplished in their fields(which no one disputes) but excluding the word 'amazing' which implies a moral value, or that the achievments of these primarily audio-visual stars and artists are 'super-human' or otherwise beyond belief.

The only reason I reverted it was because the sentence you replaced it with was awkward and had some grammar errors. I don't think it matters if we have the word amazing in or not, but if you feel that strongly, then it can stay out. Scorpion0422

[edit] Should a pet be inducted?

Some might disagree not to have London from The Littlest Hobo on the Canada Walk Of Fame because he's not human, but a dog can have a lifespan of 10-15 years and the series started in 1958 as a film.

Who knows if they do another movie remake and find a dog similar to the previous Londons that played the main role? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.118.108.222 (talk) 03:44, 5 December 2006 (UTC).
