MOON ALERT: There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Scorpio.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

The day is a mixed bag. In one way, you feel confident about dealing with social situations, your kids, and the arts in a way that is realistic and doable. (This is reassuring.) And yet, when it comes to issues at home, especially dealing with a parent, you feel unsure of things.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

This is an excellent day to make decisions about redecorating, remodelling or entertaining because you’re in a sensible frame of mind when it comes to improving your domestic world. Conversations might be confusing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You’ll enjoy discussions with older friends or members of groups who are senior or in charge because they will welcome your grounded and serious input. You might have sensible recommendations about how to improve something. However, money issues might confuse. Tread carefully.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Financial discussions with bosses, parents and people in authority will be practical. You’ll be pleased with what is agreed upon. However, in general terms, you feel more tired. It’s harder to rev your engines, and also harder to defend yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You have strong ideas about travel, higher education, politics, religion and publishing because you’re in a practical frame of mind, but you also see the best way to create an attractive look. (Don’t second-guess yourself, which you might be doing.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Discussions with friends and groups might be confusing. (You might feel disappointed at your ability to assert yourself.) Nevertheless, when working behind the scenes, you’ll see practical ways to deal with shared property, inheritances and how to divide expenses with someone.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’ll impress others with your sensible suggestions about how to make improvements — perhaps how to make something look better. Or perhaps how to help people get along. Whatever the case, your approach will be doable and sensible. (Note that discussions with bosses might be confusing.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Others will admire you because you’re full of practical ideas that can improve things related to your work, health or a pet. They might be fiscal ideas related to saving money or they could be time-saving recommendations. (Steer clear of politics and religion.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You love to travel, and this is a fabulous day to make plans to do so because not only do you have realistic ideas, you won’t overlook details and you will easily tick all the boxes. However, discussions about shared property, joint expenses or inheritances might be fuzzy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You hate waste. Furthermore, you’re a practical sign willing to work for what is important to you. You might get the financial and practical support to make improvements at home or to your family. This will please you. Nevertheless, discussions with partners and spouses might confuse.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

It’s hard to defend your own best interests at work. Somehow your heart just isn’t in it. Fortunately, discussions with partners and close friends are practical, pleasant and feasible. In fact, you will be objective and productive in all your discussions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Parents should be extra-vigilant because it’s easy to kid yourself about something related to your children. You might make an incorrect assumption. You might think you know where they are — but you don’t. Likewise, romance is on shaky ground as well. Fortunately, it’s a solid day at work.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Late celebrity chef, author, travel documentarian Anthony Bourdain (1956-2018) shared your birthday. You’re a compassionate, intuitive visionary. You have a mercurial intellect and a changeable behaviour. This year holds exciting changes and increased personal freedom. Stay flexible so you can act quickly on new opportunities. Expect to meet new friends. Travel will expand your horizons.

MMF partners with Garda North to train security for its facilities

Gabrielle Piche 3 minute read Yesterday at 8:01 PM CDT

Manitoba Métis Federation-owned buildings may soon be staffed by Métis security guards.

The federation inked a deal with one of the world’s largest security companies to provide training to its citizens.

“We’re buying buildings left and right here in the city of Winnzipeg,” said Jack Park, MMF lands and properties minister. “We’ve grown to a state where we need to ensure that our people are protected, our businesses are protected.”

The MMF’s portfolio includes the former National Research Council Canada buildings at 435 and 445 Ellice Ave., the former Bank of Montreal at the intersection of Portage Avenue and Main Street, two towers previously owned by Bell MTS and a Main Street office.

Bell under fire after 911 outage

Chris Kitching 7 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 6:06 PM CDT

Bell Canada — Manitoba’s 911 service provider — is facing questions about reliability and redundancy measures after an hours-long outage outside Winnipeg, caused by a severed fibre optic cable, prevented dozens of calls from getting through Wednesday.

Bell spokeswoman Elise von Scheel said backup systems that reroute 911 calls when an outage occurs due to equipment damage also experienced “issues” after a third party cut the cable during construction “near Winnipeg.”

“Manitoba’s 911 system relies on legacy architecture that does not support the failsafes that newer systems have, which is why Bell is in the process of upgrading the ecosystem to next generation 911,” von Scheel wrote in an email.

“All Manitoba public safety answering points are planned to be migrated to the new system by the end of 2026. Migration to NG911 is the fastest and most effective remediation to prevent instances like this in the future.”

Beds full at former for-profit care home taken over by province: minister

Nicole Buffie 2 minute read Yesterday at 3:09 PM CDT

All the beds are occupied at the Pembina Highway personal care home that was taken over by the Manitoba government in February.

Health, Seniors and Long-term Care Minister Uzoma Asagwara said the province has retained all staff who worked at the for-profit Golden Door Geriatric Centre, which has been renamed Prairie Crocus Manor.

Residents and staff submitted suggestions for the new name, which became necessary following the province’s acquisition of the home.

“It’s our province’s floral emblem, which I think is really, really beautiful and tells a story in and of itself. And it’s bright, which we want the future of this personal care home to be bright,” the health minister said.

Turnover contributes to mistakes in Manitoba’s financial reporting: AG

Carol Sanders 5 minute read Yesterday at 6:29 PM CDT

A report by Manitoba’s auditor general says errors continue to occur in the province’s financial reporting.

“The preparation of the public accounts is inherently complex and requires a co-ordinated effort across government,” Tyson Shtykalo said in his 60-page report. “It is not an easy task, and reducing the number of errors and deficiencies will require sustained focus from both the office of the provincial comptroller and departments.”

The auditor general looked at the public accounts from April 2020 to September 2023 and has since followed up to determine whether problems it identified have been corrected. Thursday’s report made 18 recommendations to reduce errors and improve reporting.

Shtykalo said the system, in which deputy ministers oversee departments, is decentralized, and there’s the need for ongoing guidance and training.

Flipping burgers since 1958, everything old is new again for Dairi-Wip

Flipping burgers since 1958, everything old is new again for Dairi-Wip

David Sanderson 9 minute read Sunday, Jul. 11, 2021

Everything old is new again.

This summer marks the 100-year anniversary of the carhop, a fleet-of-foot person tasked with fetching food to those who’ve opted to eat in the comfort of their vehicle. The owners of North America’s first drive-in restaurant, Kirby’s Pig Stand in Dallas, Texas, reportedly came up with the job title in 1921, after recognizing sales of automobiles wouldn’t be decreasing, any time soon.

A century later, cousins Dean and Trif Lambos, owners of the venerable Dairi-Wip Drive-In at 383 Marion St., founded by their uncle and respective fathers in 1958, have resurrected the notion of a carhop, not so much as a nod to the past, but more out of necessity.

“When COVID first hit in March of last year, we kind of looked at each other, wondering what the heck we were going to do,” Dean says, explaining because their glassed-in, vestibule — the space customers ordinarily enter to place takeout orders for Greek-style burgers, fries and milkshakes “in a bag or a box” — was already a tight squeeze, it would have been problematic to allow more than one person in at a time while also observing physical distancing protocols.

Mexico, Europe tabbed for new trade offices

Gabrielle Piche 4 minute read Yesterday at 8:21 PM CDT

The Manitoba government will soon employ trade representatives in Mexico and Europe, adding to its growing global network.

It announced the two new positions Thursday afternoon.

Business Minister Jamie Moses wasn’t available for an interview. In a news release, he said the hires reiterate “our government’s commitment to diversifying our trade partners.”

A Europe representative will focus on the United Kingdom and Western European markets, the release says.
