If a newspaper makes a mistake or leaves something out in a story, they print a correction as soon as they can. If something erroneous is posted on a website, etiquette requires an update or correction to be added to the original post.

In science, if new data comes to light and a previously announced theory or conclusion has to change, that’s fantastic. That’s what science is. It’s a constant pursuit of the truth, and if the facts don’t support the theory, then the theory must be changed.

And when you’re making a list involving complicated data—especially on a project which few (if any) people have attempted before—it’s incumbent upon the researcher to go back and fix any errors and omissions.

This is known as an “erratum,” an error in printing or writing. Protocol requires that a list of corrected errors be appended to a book, a journal, or any published material. Again, we must go where the facts lead us.

This is such an occasion. This is a bonus episode on the 50 biggest all-time alt-rock one-hit wonders. Let’s just call it the “Oopsie Show.”

Accidents happen at work, and the stage is no exception. Ask Karen O of The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. She climbed a speaker stack during a set in Sydney in 2003 and managed to concuss herself when it all came down. To her credit, she climbed back on stage and attempted to finish the show.

Muse’s Matt Bellamy also tried to soldier on in 2004 when he smacked himself in the face with his guitar at an Atlanta gig. He tried to keep singing, but his mouth wouldn’t stop filling with blood. It took a few quick stitches at the hospital to fix that issue.

Then there was the case where Metallica’s James Hetfield almost got BBQed  back in 1992. At a show in Montreal, he got too close to some on-stage magnesium-based pyro that burned at 1,000 degrees. He was sent to the hospital with second- and third-degree burns.

Sometimes you miss a big break by that much. Nirvana’s original drummer, Chad Channing, began to lose interest in the band in 1990 despite having just gone on a rather successful UK tour. He left before Nirvana’s Nevermind story began with Dave Grohl as the band’s drummer.

New Yardbirds bassist Chris Dreja decided he preferred photography and left the group, just as they were changing their name to a little band known as Led Zeppelin. A bassist named Tim Staffell walked out of a band called Smile he shared with a roommate in 1970. Staffell is a nice guy, though: he pointed to his flatmate, a fellow by the name of Freddie Mercury, in the direction of his eventual Queen bandmates.

Guitarist Keith Levene only lasted five shows with The Clash in ’76 and left a month before they broke out on The Sex Pistols’ Anarchy Tour. Unluckily enough, he also walked out of Public Image Limited two months before their they broke out commercially. Bad timing, Keith.

When we go to a concert, we expect good sound.  But it wasn’t always that way. In the 60s and early 70s, PA systems used by bands at all levels were awful.  Even if you could hear anything, it certainly didn’t sound very good.

It wasn’t until the 1970s that bands insisted on better gear because fans were now demanding that they actually be able to make out what was being played onstage.  Groups had to sound just like their records.  Pioneers in this area were the Grateful Dead, the Eagles, Genesis, The Who and Pink Floyd.  They insisted on not only being loud, but clear–a pretty novel concept back in those days.

Today, sound systems are so sophisticated and computerized that it’s hard to tell what’s being played live and what’s pre-recorded.

Two days into their jobs, Toronto Maple Leafs top brass John Chayka and Mats Sundin were handed a gift — the No. 1 selection in next month’s NHL entry draft.

The Leafs won the league’s draft lottery Tuesday, dropping a franchise-altering decision onto a newly minted front office.

“You need some luck and we got it tonight,” said John Chayka, who was appointed Toronto’s general manger on Sunday.

“Long road ahead, of course. Lots of work to do still. But when you get a first overall pick it’s a monumental type of opportunity. I think it’s a really good draft, a lot of good players. And it’s an honour to pick one overall.”

Gavin McKenna and Ivar Stenberg have emerged as the two leading options at the top of this year’s draft class.

Toronto entered the week at a crossroads after missing the playoffs and now turns to a new leadership group tasked with charting its direction — starting with the first overall selection.

The future of captain Auston Matthews remains the biggest question after the club missed the playoffs for the first time in his career. It marks the first time the Maple Leafs have won the lottery since selecting Matthews No. 1 in 2016.

The Leafs also had the top pick in 1985, when they took Wendel Clark, who was traded to the Quebec Nordiques for Sundin in 1994.

“The Toronto Maple Leafs is, in my opinion, the greatest hockey franchise in the world,” said Sundin, the Hall of Fame forward who was named Toronto’s senior executive adviser of hockey operations on Sunday.

“It’s definitely the greatest fan base. It’s supported not only in Ontario and Toronto but across North America. So I think it’s a great opportunity for whoever’s first overall to come in and represent the Toronto Maple Leafs.”

Toronto would have had to transfer its pick to Boston to complete a trade last year for Brandon Carlo had it not been in the top five. The Bruins and Philadelphia, as a result, will get the Leafs’ first-rounders in 2027 and ’28.

The 2026 draft will be held June 26 and 27 in Buffalo, N.Y., with Penn State Nittany Lions men’s ice hockey forward McKenna and Swedish winger Stenberg rated as the top North American and European prospects by NHL Central Scouting.

McKenna, from Whitehorse, Yukon, tied for fifth in NCAA scoring with 51 points (15 goals, 36 assists) in 35 games this season. He was named Big Ten freshman of the year.

Stenberg, 18, had 33 points (11 goals, 22 assists) in 43 games with Frölunda HC in Sweden’s top pro league, the SHL, the most by an 18-year-old there since Daniel and Henrik Sedin in 1998-99. He also helped Sweden win world junior gold with 10 points in seven games.

McKenna has been considered the prospective top choice for quite some time.

“Exciting player. I’ve been keeping track of him for a number of years now and the skill level, the creativity, the puck ability and then his shot and release is all pretty special,” Chayka said. “So it’ll be good to get with the scouts and talk through it all. But I know there’s a lot of passion for a lot of players, including Gavin.”

The Leafs had the fifth-highest odds of winning the lottery at 8.5 per cent.

“You don’t know what’s going to occur in these type of situations. But you do know that you need some luck. And it happened,” Chayka said.

“I don’t think it changes the vision or the strategy, but certainly when these things happen, it can change course and timelines, etc. But it’s not going to change how we think about things. It’s a fortuitous bounce.”

Vancouver, which finished last in the NHL with a 25-49-8 record, had the best odds to pick first at 18.5 per cent and has never had the top pick in the draft.

The San Jose Sharks won the lottery for the second pick, while the Canucks fell to third.

“This is a really strong draft. We really don’t know how the draft is going to fall,” said Jim Rutherford, Vancouver’s president of hockey operations.

“But whatever way it falls, we feel very strong that we’re getting a really good player. And whoever that player is, we’ll just have to wait and see. So with the disappointment with all the excitement that goes with picking No. 1, No. 3 is still going to be a great building block for the Vancouver Canucks.”

The Calgary Flames claimed the No. 6 pick on Tuesday, while the Winnipeg Jets claimed No. 8.

TORONTO – DaVaris Daniels has called it a career.

The veteran CFL receiver announced his retirement Tuesday night via social media. The 33-year-old native of Vernon Hills, Ill., played nine seasons with the Calgary Stampeders (2016-18), Edmonton Elks (2019) and Toronto Argonauts (2021-25), winning three Grey Cups.

“I have felt the highest this game has to offer and I have felt what it’s like to lose it all,” Daniels wrote “But through every setback I found perseverance. I found gratitude.

“Nothing in life is ever promised. And through my faith I can see clearly now that God was preparing me for what was about to come. Things may not always happen when or the way you want them to — but he is always right and he is always right on time. I came out the other side grateful. Grateful to be on a team. Grateful to compete. Grateful for every single day I got to play this game.”

The six-foot, 203-pound DaVaris Daniels didn’t divulge what might lie ahead for him.

“As one chapter closes I step into what’s next carrying everything this game gave me — character, perspective, resilience and a gratitude for life that I never could have found any other way,” he said.

Before coming to the CFL, Daniels spent time in the NFL with the Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots in 2015.

Daniels came by his football acumen honestly. His father Phillip Daniels, was a defensive end in the NFL for 15 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks (1996-1999), Chicago Bears (2000-2003) and Washington Redskins (2004-10).

After retiring as a player, the elder Daniels spent time in Washington’s front office before getting into coaching. He earned a Super Bowl ring in 2018 as an assistant with the Philadelphia Eagles and was the defensive line coach last season with the Grey Cup-champion Saskatchewan Roughriders.

He’s currently in the same role with the Ottawa Redblacks.

The former Notre Dame star appeared in 125 career regular-season games, registering 444 catches for 6,609 yards and 43 touchdowns. Daniels best CFL season was in 2022 with Toronto when he had a career-best 61 catches.

The following season, Daniels recorded his only 1,000-yard receiving campaign (1,009).

Daniels was the CFL’s top rookie in 2016 while with Calgary. His Grey Cup wins came with the Stampeders (2018) and Toronto (2022, 2024).

“To the city of Calgary — you brought me back to life when I needed it most and I will never forget that,” he said. “To the city of Toronto — thank you for embracing me and making me feel at home.

“To my teammates, my family and every single fan who rode with me through this journey — I felt every bit of your support and I am deeply grateful. And above all, thank you to God for never letting me quit.”

The RM of Ste. Anne, Man., is shocked after an aggravated assault led to the death of a father and respected chef.

Friends confirmed to Global News that the victim was 49-year-old Cameron Huley.

RCMP say they responded late Saturday to a residence in Ste. Anne, taking the victim to the hospital where he died from injuries a few hours later.

The incident is now being investigated as a homicide.

“I can’t understand or justify how that could happen to somebody that was so kind and so cared about by everybody,” Laurencelle said.

Huley’s friend, Reg Deschambault, will remember him as a father and a person who loved feeding those around him.

“That’s why he was always doing pancake breakfasts, that’s how he could give back to the community,” Deschambault said. “That’s how I learned things from him, too, through cooking.”

The community is concerned that no arrest has been made three days after the death. Rumours of what happened and who’s responsible have circulated through Ste. Anne and the area as a whole.

After multiple requests on Tuesday, RCMP would provide no additional information to Global News about the assault or investigation, asking the public and media for patience during the investigation.

The sounds of drums filled downtown Kelowna, B.C., Tuesday morning as part of a national day of awareness for missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people.

Kelowna’s Red Dress event was organized by the Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society but took place across B.C., Canada and beyond.

“Today is just an important day to think about all the missing and murdered Indigenous women and teach our children how important it is,” said Mary Jobe, who attended the Kelowna event with her daughter.

Many in the large crowd wore red to mark the national day of awareness

“I don’t think settler Canadians have taken much accountability yet,” said attendee David Jefferess. “We have a lot of work to do as settler Canadians to stop this violence.”

Many people in attendance also held photos of people they didn’t know personally but who never came home.

“This is Cecilia and she’s a little girl that went missing in Vancouver back in 1989,” Jobe said pointing to the young face in the poster she held.  “This whole time no one knows where these girls are, what happened to them.”

The event included a march through the downtown core and along Highway 97 to the steps of the Kelowna Courthouse.

Advocates say there is an urgent need for changes and better supports to reduce violence they say remains disproportionately high among Indigenous women and girls.

“Indigenous women make up 4.3 per cent of the population in Canada, yet account for 16 per cent of the of the homicide victims, also known as femicide, and 11 per cent of missing women, ” said Angela Marie MacDougall, executive director of Battered Women’s Support Services.  “That’s disproportionate to the population.”

Community leaders say the statistics are tied to deep-rooted systemic issues.

“The historical piece is the reason why Indigenous women and girls were targeted is because no one looked for them because this system, there was systemic racism where they weren’t seen as important or valued members of society,” said Christina Verhagen, executive director of  the Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society.

While some progress has been made, many say much more is needed including action on the National Inquiry’s Calls for Justice made nearly seven years ago.

“We haven’t moved on those recommendations for the National Inquiry and it’s something that we continue to push for,” MacDougall said. “It matters a lot.”

The recommendations include changes to health care, social services and policing so that for Indigenous communities have stronger supports.

“Healing starts with acknowledgement. We have to see the pain, we have to feel the pain in order to heal,” said Verhagen.

The man who has lived in Stanley Park for more than 30 years is being evicted.

Vancouver Park Board crews spent most of Tuesday removing debris from Christenson Bailey’s forest home, where he has been set up since 1990.

Everything about Bailey’s campsite was simple yet functional when Global News first met him.

Most of it was constructed using old fishing nets and ropes discarded from nearby marinas. The layers of tarps kept it waterproof and he had a small wooden box for essential supplies such as flashlights, loaves of bread, and a charging pack for his phone.

To protect from the elements, he had a blanket and four sleeping bags — good for “20 below,” he said.

The encampment took up less space than a camper trailer.

But Bailey is now in his 70s and Park Board crews say that Stanley Park’s looper moth infestation doesn’t offer him as much protection from the trees anymore.

“We had given the individual lots of opportunity to find space, and we’ll continue to do that,” Amit Gandha, the Vancouver Park Board parks director, said.

“But we had given notice that we needed to move on this. We’re talking truckloads and truckloads, where there’s going to be so much debris, and some of it, we don’t even know what the materials are, so we’re kind of going through that piece as well at the park.”

Housing options have been presented to Bailey over the years, but it is unclear at this time where he will end up living.

Bailey declined to speak on camera on Tuesday, but remained in the park to watch the dismantling of his long-term home.

Some businesses owned by women in the Victoria area say they are being harassed by an anonymous caller.

They told Global News that even if they don’t pick up the phone, the calls continue and it’s affecting business.

“I know the date exactly, the 27th of March was the first time this person phoned,” Jennifer Brewerton, who owns Lazy Susan’s, said.

“And then, they phoned back on the 28th.”

For the next month, the calls kept coming and Brewerton said the man on the other end spoke in a whisper.

She described it as creepy.

“What did I sell, what were the price points, things like that and that went on for a while,” Brewerton said on the nature of the calls.

And the next couple of weeks’ worth of calls, they were gradually more sexual and now, if I answer and say, ‘Lazy Susan’s,’ right away it’s a sexual comment.”

Brewerton immediately reported the calls to the Oak Bay Police Department before posting on social media, saying, “We are not currently answering our store phone. We are being harassed by a creepy, obscene phone caller.”

It turns out, Brewerton is not alone.

“All of a sudden, four others said, ‘Hey, we know that voice, he has been phoning us, too,'” she said.

All of them have been women.

“They are all women-run and operated,” Heather Leary with the Oak Bay Business Improvement Association said.

“We know that he doesn’t call when a man answers so. He is definitely targeting women and it’s just very problematic.”

More businesses have since come forward in Oak Bay and in the Capital Regional District.

Police said they are investigating.

“When you receive these types of phone calls, the best thing you can do is hang up and once you’ve hung up, you’re dialing star five, seven, in order to trace that number, and then contact your local police department,” Insp. Andre Almeida with the Oak Bay police said.

Brewerton said she plans to install a new, more modern phone system, so she can do that.

“Really, I’m just pissed off,” she said.

“I’m just like, oh yeah, you want to say that to me — bring it on.”
