ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Keep your digs tidy and your fridge stocked because relatives and people from your past might be camped on your doorstep. This could be due to family reunions, visitors or guests. This is a good time to tackle home repairs that have needed your attention.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Allow extra time when you’re travelling this week because Mercury retrograde will lead to vehicle breakdowns, missed connections and all kinds of delays to your transportation plans. Likewise, communications with others will be like two ships passing in the night. Be extra-clear when talking to anyone.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Cheques might be late in the mail and other delays involving financial matters are likely, along with glitches involving credit cards, bank accounts or anything to do with cash flow and finances. Double-check all your financial dealings. (You snooze, you lose.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Mercury is retrograde in your sign until July 23, giving you the advantage of being able to finish u[ old business that’s already on your plate. However, you have the disadvantage of suffering from goofy mistakes, delays, mixed-up communications and misplaced items. Oh well.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Mercury retrograde might bring opportunities to explore spiritual issues from your past. It might reveal secrets about yourself and others. Admittedly, it might make you feel you’re not in control of your world. (Is anyone?)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Old friends and acquaintances are back in your world. Some contacts you will hear from might be through clubs, groups or organizations. The reconnection might be online, in-person or in your dreams. (It’s good to have history with people.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

It’s very likely you’re thinking about or running into parents, ex-bosses and authority figures from your past — in-person, online or in your dreams. You might even have an imaginary conversation with someone. (Those are fun because then you can think of the right thing to say.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Travel delays will be likely for some of you. Double-check itineraries and small details if you are going anywhere. It’s best if you travel to a spot you’ve been to before because then you are “returning.” This is great time to study history and issues from the past.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Double-check all transactions and financial negotiations, because Mercury retrograde will encourage errors and hiccups. Do not assume everything’s correct. On the upside, Mercury retrograde will help you wrap up matters related to inheritances and shared property.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Mercury retrograde will attract news about ex-partners and old friends. In some cases, you will encounter these people in-person or online. You might hear about what they’re up to, or they might come to you in your dreams and thoughts.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This particular Mercury retrograde will be challenging for you because it will affect your job, pastimes and even your health. Expect silly errors, misplaced paperwork, delays and equipment breakdowns. However, the good news is Mercury retrograde can help you finish up old projects.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Old flames are back in your world, either in your thoughts and dreams, online or in-person. Be smart and look your best when you go out because you’ll feel better if you run into someone important from your past. (We all like to look good.)

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Kevin Bacon (1958) shares your birthday. You are strong-willed, dynamic and purposeful. You have artistic and practical skills. This is a year of learning and teaching.

Hospital window smasher gets 90 days in jail

Tessa Adamski 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

BRANDON — A 35-year-old man from The Pas was sentenced to 90 days in jail after he admitted to smashing a garage window in the ambulance bay of the Brandon hospital while intoxicated.

James Constant pleaded guilty in Brandon provincial court on Thursday to mischief under $5,000 and breaching a probation order that prohibited him from possessing weapons. Two additional charges, involving failing to comply with a probation order and possessing a dangerous weapon, were stayed.

On July 15, Constant was taken to the Brandon Regional Health Centre by ambulance after he overdosed and became “aggressive” and “unco-operative” with paramedics, says an agreed statement of facts read in court by Crown attorney Rich Lonstrup.

“He took a piece of wood and smashed the garage-door window within the ambulance bay,” Lonstrup said.

This masterfully remodelled, 3,390 sq. ft. bungalow is situated in the midst of a well-treed lot that backs onto Bunn’s Creek and the Red River.

North Kildonan home on spacious property has everything you need to relax and entertain

Todd Lewys 5 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

Every home has a story, almost without exception.

That’s certainly the case with a sprawling bungalow situated amid a huge, beautifully treed lot in North Kildonan, says Glen MacAngus of Royal LePage Top Producers.

“When this home was built in 1957, it was a pretty good size,” he says of the home, which sports an impressively wide footprint. “Today, it checks in at 3,390 sq. ft. due to a pair of remodels. The first was in the early 2000s, while the second was in 2018.”

Suffice it to say, the well-maintained home is anything but a throwback to its late-’50s origins.

JOHN WOODS / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS FILES Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister talks to media at the legislature in Winnipeg last Tuesday.

Pallister appears determined to run on not-quite-done record

Dan Lett 5 minute read Tuesday, Jun. 4, 2019

He is so going to do this.

Premier Brian Pallister wrapped up the current session of the Manitoba legislature with his most unequivocal statements to date that Manitoba will have a general election this summer. And this time, he actually provided some details about when we might expect the writ to drop.

Pallister told reporters at a news conference Tuesday that beginning in a few days, his government will begin restricting all government announcements and advertising that might contravene the 90-day communication blackout contained in the Election Finances Act. By confirming that he is effectively beginning the blackout, he is also confirming that a campaign will begin in early August for an election day sometime in early September, about a month before a federal election is scheduled.

Manitoba election campaigns run between 28 and 35 days, and the voting must be held on a Tuesday. If, for example, Pallister were to begin a blackout on Tuesday June 11, he could set an election for as early as Tuesday, Sept. 10. Although that would still be more than a full year earlier than the October 2020 date specified in law, he could claim with full justification he had honoured the spirit of the communications blackout.

People carry posters with George Floyd on them as they march from the Lincoln Memorial to the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington. As the anniversary of George Floyd’s murder approaches, some people say the best way to honor him is for Congress to pass a bill in his name that overhauls policing.

Rallies, moments of silence honor George Floyd a year later

Mohamed Ibrahim And Doug Glass, The Associated Press 9 minute read Tuesday, May. 25, 2021

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A family-friendly street festival, musical performances and moments of silence were held Tuesday to honor George Floyd and mark the year since he died at the hands of Minneapolis police, a death captured on wrenching bystander video that galvanized the racial justice movement and continues to bring calls for change a year later.

Floyd’s sister Bridgett and other family members held a moment of silence at a “Celebration of Life” event at a downtown Minneapolis park that included music, food trucks, an inflatable bouncy house and a pop-up vaccination stand.

A few miles away, at the site of the intersection where Floyd died, dozens of people gathered around a steel fist sculpture and kneeled for several minutes — symbolic of the 9 minutes, 29 seconds during which Floyd was pinned to the ground.

“It’s been a troubling year, a long year,” Bridgett Floyd told the crowd in downtown Minneapolis. “But we made it. ... The love is very outpouring today. The love is here. George is here."

A distraction for the war-weary

Gwynne Dyer 5 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

I have been writing this column twice a week for a long time, so I have a finely developed sense for when the audience is sick of a subject. We have definitely crossed that boundary with regard to the wars currently being fought up and down the strip of land between the longitudes of 40°E and 50°E (Eastern Ukraine/Persian Gulf/Israel, Gaza and Lebanon).

It’s not just that they are stupid wars, launched by men who were too ignorant or too arrogant to realize that they could not win them (Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu), and it’s certainly not because they are harmless wars.

Not only are they killing thousands of people every week, but in every case the country that started the war also has nuclear weapons. In each case there is a small but real possibility that the leader in question might resort to using at least one “tactical” nuclear weapon as a final warning rather than accept the blame for a humiliating failure to achieve his aims.

Yet nothing much new and interesting is happening from one day to the next in any of these wars, and the audience would really like to move on. I have been trying to write about something else at least once a week, so I thought: maybe I could do a piece about Kim Jong Un’s teenage daughter’s chance of being North Korea’s next dictator.

Of pigs and porcine politics

David McLaughlin 6 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

There’s an old saying in politics — that if you wrestle with a pig, you both get dirty, and the pig likes it. Welcome to negotiating free trade with Donald Trump.

This is the unenviable position Canada finds itself in, a year and a half into a radically changed relationship with the United States. How do you negotiate with a president who practises the art of the steal? Is it principled to compromise with corruption simply to satisfy a president who is bankrupt of any principles except making money?

Answering these questions will say as much about us as it does about them.

President Donald Trump’s latest tariff threat makes this starker. He is imposing 50 per cent tariffs on $28 billion worth of Canadian exports, covering more than 500 product categories.
