“Lost Together” hit-makers Blue Rodeo are getting their own commemorative stamp.

Canada Post unveiled the stamp Thursday at a Toronto music venue, revealing a design that revolves around a collage of black-and-white studio portraits of the band’s current lineup.

Along with lead singer-songwriters Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor, it shows Mike Boguski, Jimmy Bowskill, Colin Cripps, Bazil Donovan and Glenn Milchem.

Founding members Bobby Wiseman and Cleave Anderson do not appear on the stamp, which is adorned with illustrations of pink flowers along the edges and a blue guitar in the backdrop.

Other musicians that have received honorary stamps include Sarah McLachlan, Stan Rogers, Rush and The Tragically Hip.

Founded in Toronto in 1984, Blue Rodeo released a string of hits in the ‘80s and ‘90s including “Try,” “Trust Yourself” and “‘Til I Am Myself Again.”

The band has also been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and has a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame and a Governor General’s Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 3, 2025.

A quirky Alberta roadside attraction that has delighted travellers for decades with its stuffed rodents in tiny costumes is closed until further notice. 

The World Famous Gopher Hole Museum, located in Torrington, a hamlet about 120 kilometres north of Calgary, made the announcement online earlier this week.

Laural Kurta, museum director, said she was forced to close the doors because the two historical buildings that house the exhibits need to be replaced. 

"We have done every patch repair, staple, spackle, everything we could possibly do, and it is just at its end," Kurta said in an interview Tuesday.

See silver lining to your impossible crush

Maureen Scurfield 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I’m in love with my sister’s boyfriend, and neither one of them knows it. They’re both grad students and came back home from the province where they are studying to write and spend the summer in Manitoba.

Thankfully, they’ve gone back home because it was becoming too much for me to bear. My sister’s guy is perfect for me, but she already owns him and I’m too young to fight her for him.

Still, the two of them don’t realize the depth of my feelings. I don’t know how to behave when they get cosy around me and I feel so jealous I want to scream. I’m not sure what to do next.

This week I got an email from my artsy-fartsy sister with an invitation to come visit them in December and go to some fun plays and parties with them and their friends. They even promised my Christmas present from them will be my plane ticket.

Bit of creepy consultation could go a long way

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: Halloween has always been my favourite time of year. I do my house up with lots of spooky lighting and characters on the lawn with eerie sounds booming out.

But last year I got seriously hassled by some people in the neighbourhood who thought it was too creepy. How do I get them on board this year? I don’t want to fight with them again.

— Want to Be Good Neighbour, River Heights

Dear Good Neighbour: Go to your close neighbours and explain what you want to do with your yard for Halloween this year, and also provide them with a firm time by which the celebrating will wrap up and things can quiet down.
