Hedley at the end of the road. Just before the final show of Hedley's tour, CBC Opinion published a piece defending the band. While fielding Twitter fury, the writer clarified how the story came to be published: it was the byproduct of a discussion that followed a complaint over the CBC's use of her Hedley tattoo to illustrate a Canadian Press story about other fans who were having theirs removed. This particular fan has pledged to remain stamped:

The future of journalism is pulling a fire alarm on Faith Goldy. A disruption that put a premature end to Goldy's speech at Wilfrid Laurier University earned some Toronto Star praise. Meanwhile, Vice discovered that many were just there to hear what the fuss was about, and the event's organizer, Lindsay Shepherd, gave her explanation to Maclean's.

The police board has now commissioned an external look into how missing-person probes are conducted.

Everything keeps coming up Doug Ford. Plans for the Ontario PC leader to speak at a Ring of Fire fundraiser in Toronto have left northern Ontario politicians scratching their heads about where his loyalty might lie as premier. (He has pledged to hop on a bulldozer himself to build roads there.) Closer to home, there are questions about whether Ford will set fire to transit plans—like he endorsed before:

The ROM is now trying to make the Crystal ironically happen. After the museum reopened its original entrance, a decision viewed as blow to Daniel Libeskind’s monstrosity, a meme in response to superhero hype provided a reminder of survival:

Ingénue Redux brings K.D. Lang some big ink. The tour for the reissued album, a quarter-century after the Vanity Fair cover with Cindy Crawford, finds Lang profiled in the New York Times, with a focus on the hit song she expects to sing for the rest of her life. Lang, who now primarily lives in Calgary, still refuses to confirm reports that her girlfriend is Heather Edwards, the ex-wife of an oil tycoon.
