UPDATE: Just hours into the “Summer of Change Your Mind,” we’ve already got an update that could change the face of the entire campaign.

Canadian of the Week reader Kelly MacKinnon gave me the heads up (see below) that Bryan Adams tweeted back in March that he’d never been contacted by anyone from “Glee.” It’s true! At least it’s true that he tweeted it. Here’s what he said back on March 14: “Just to set the record straight, no one from Glee has ever approached me for songs on their TV show…”

So, why would “Glee” creator Ryan Murphy have said Adams rejected the show’s request? We’re going to get to the bottom of this.

Meanwhile, here’s the original “Summer of Change Your Mind” Day 1 post:

The news cut like a knife.

It should have been a joyous day last week when Billboard reported that Coldplay agreed to let their songs be used on “Glee” after having held out since the show premiered last May. Instead, it was anything but heaven when we at Canadian of the Week read what “Glee” creator and executive producer Ryan Murphy had to say about the only other outright rejection he received when looking for songs for the show.

“At the beginning,” Murphy said, “a lot of people didn’t know what we were and asked to see pages [in advance], but I refused because I didn’t want to set precedent of them having any involvement. My favorite rejection was Bryan Adams. Coldplay and Bryan Adams were really the only rejections. But Coldplay called a week ago and said, ‘We’re sorry, you can have our catalog.’”

That’s right. Kingston, Ontario’s own Bryan Guy Adams is the last to withhold his music from the kids at William McKinley High School, who have a show choir and they try real hard. They just lost to Vocal Adrenaline. Without your songs, they’ll never get far.

So, today marks Day 1 of what we’re calling the “Summer of Change Your Mind.”

We’re gonna run to you, Bryan, and make a request that’s straight from the heart: Change your mind and let the kids from “Glee” sing your songs.

Get on board! Comment below to let Bryan Adams know you want to hear the “Glee” sing his songs.

News flash: Not all Canadians know each other.

E! Online’s Hollywood Party girl was shocked — shocked! — to discover recently that not all Canadians know each other.

“90210″ star Shenae Grimes (of Toronto) was asked if she ever bonds with her fellow countryman, “Glee” star Cory Monteith, who hails from Calgary (as any good COTW reader already knows).

“God, I wish I knew who that was,” Shenae replied, also noting she hasn’t gotten a chance to see “Glee,” which airs on Fox (her “90210″ airs on The CW).

In fairness, I’ve been surprised at just how many Canadians really do know each other. At the same time, Calgary and Toronto are more than 2,000 miles apart.

The Party Girl’s post ends with a simple suggestion that the two rising TV stars meet because they might make a nice Canadian couple.

And that’s an argument we can get behind.

Another awards show, another chance to congratulate Calgary’s Cory Monteith, star of Fox’s “Glee,” and his castmates on taking home the best comedy series cast honors at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Saturday night.

This honor is particularly special as it is voted on by other actors and it demonstrates the recognition of the fine work that Monteith and Co. are doing on their fresh, young show.

Canadians came up big at Sunday night’s Golden Globe Awards, with director James Cameron taking home the top prizes as he won for Best Director and his film, “Avatar,” claimed the trophy for Best Motion Picture, Drama.

The Kapuskasing, Ontario, native who’s long lived in Los Angeles has had a heck of a year with the release of his long-awaited and highly anticipated adventure film to the far-off planet of Pandora. The film was Cameron’s first since a little thing called “Titanic” was released 12 years ago, and it seems the wait didn’t hamper the new film’s performance. In addition to claiming some major awards, it’s approaching $500 million gross revenue at the box office, according to boxofficemojo.com, putting it third place all time after “Titanic” ($600 million) and “The Dark Knight” ($533 million).

Elsewhere, screenwriter and director Jason Reitman took home a Best Screenplay award with co-writer Sheldon Turner for “Up in the Air,” which starred George Clooney. Reitman, of Montreal, also directed the film, but lost in that category to the aforementioned Cameron.

FInally, Calgary’s Cory Monteith was not nominated for an individual acting award, but his show “Glee” won the top prize for Best TV Series, Musical or Comedy, knocking off heavy hitters such as “30 Rock,” “The Office” and “Entourage,” and another highly touted newcomer, “Modern Family.”
