Is rock-and-roll wild man Ozzy Osbourne settling down? As the Canadian leg of his new tour kicks off, Ozzy Osbourne talks to Marsha Lederman about putting his wild ways in the past

I once had tea with Ozzy Osborne in Victoria, BC. He was lovely.

How on earth is Playland not open today? (Very specific Vancouver parenting with disappointed kids in tow post.)

Somewhere this weekend, MacKenzie Scott (formerly Bezos) is doing yoga, having a deep-tissue massage, and giving away oodles of money to worthy causes.

101 Canadian albums you should listen to now This collection of essential records represents the impact Canadian musicians have had on our country and on the world

What a joy to contribute to this @theglobeandmail.com 101 Canadian albums feature, even if I am slightly gutted that some of my picks didn't make it (eg. Tom Cochrane's Mad Mad World). Have a listen to some great Canadian music. We could all use it these days.

It is killing me that in this economy, I have to pay the @cityofvancouver.bsky.social $250 for forgetting to tell them on time (I was a few days late) that I live in my (tiny, heavily mortgaged) home and that it is not indeed empty. My bad, but come on!

This thread is almost as depressing as this game

Same. I almost turned it off after that horrible first period. But then I would have had to focus on the actual news, which is much, much worse …

I prefer it when my disasters lack actual consequences. And so I watch sports.

I felt sad looking at the players’ faces. Even if I desperately want Edmonton to win. It’s not easy watching sports as an empath!

I don’t like hearing this Edmonton crowd booing the Florida players. But Go Oilers!

Absolutely shocked and saddened to hear about Marc Garneau. I interviewed him in November during his book tour. He was smart and kind and such a mensch.

The feeling of disappointment is too familiar to hurt this much every single year. And yet.
Oh Leafs.

Happy Mother's Day, especially to the single moms who have to do the hard work on their own, today and every day. I see you. And so do your kids.

So embarrassing: JD Vance sitting there, giggling like a schoolgirl (with apologies to schoolgirls).
