MOON ALERT: Caution! Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions from 4:15 a.m. until 6 p.m. today. After that, the new moon in Cancer moves into Leo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Be aware of the limitations of the moon alert. Nevertheless, this can be a warm and happy day, especially with family members. This is the only new moon all year that offers you a chance to think how to improve your home and relations with family.

Fleabag creator/star Phoebe Waller-Bridge is 41 today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Be aware that most of this day is a moon alert. Restrict your spending to food and gas. However, the new moon is an excellent opportunity to think about your style of communicating. Do you genuinely listen? Do people understand you?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

The only new moon that occurs in your money house all year is happening. Meanwhile, there is a moon alert. Therefore, be careful about spending! Do your homework, but restrict spending (during moon alert) to food and gas.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

This day has its opportunities and challenges. The new moon in your sign is a lovely opportunity to take a realistic look in the mirror and improve your image. What kind of impression do you create? Meanwhile — there’s a moon alert! No shopping (except food or gas).

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

The new moon is your chance to think about your spiritual values and tiny resolutions. “Do not take lightly small good deeds, believing they can hardly help; for drops of water, one by one, in time can fill a giant pot.” — Dilgo Khyentse.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your focus is on friendships — what they mean to you and what kind of a friend you are. Use the new moon to think how to improve your friendships. Meanwhile, most of this day is a moon alert. (Restrict spending to food and gas.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

The new moon is at the top of your chart. This is the day to do a reality check and think about the direction you’re headed in. Are you going where you really want to go? Commit to nothing, because there’s a moon alert for most of this day.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The new moon is a great chance to think about what travel or further education you want to explore. (Or medical or legal goals.) Because it’s a moon alert, don’t act or commit. Just fill your data bank.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The sun, the new moon and retrograde Mercury are all in one of your money houses. However, there is a moon alert. Therefore, resist the urge to act or commit financially. Get your information, but wait until tomorrow to act.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Relations with partners, spouses and close friends will be interesting, because the sun, the new moon and Mercury retrograde are all opposite your sign. (People from your past are popping up.) Because there is a moon alert, commit to nothing. Don’t agree to anything. Tread water.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

In one way, this is an excellent day for you to think about how you can boost your health, as well as how you can improve your job. However, because there is a moon alert, do not take action yet. Make notes and observations; but wait until tomorrow.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a very creative day for you! Enjoy shmoozing and socializing with others, especially old flames and people from your past. Restrict spending to food and gas because of the moon alert.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor-screenwriter Phoebe Waller-Bridge (1985) shares your birthday. You easily attract the affection and admiration of others. You are empathetic, purposeful and have a strong sense of justice. This is a year of building solid foundations and structures both internally and externally. Simplicity is key. Take charge of your health. Physical exercise is important. Stay grounded and levelheaded.

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.

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.

Some drinks to choo-choo choose on Valentine’s Day

Some drinks to choo-choo choose on Valentine’s Day

Ben Sigurdson 5 minute read Monday, Feb. 23, 2026

If you write a drinks column and it falls on Feb. 14, you are pretty much legally obligated to expound on drinks for Valentine’s Day … drinks to share with your sweetie, tipples to try with chocolate, pink wines and so on and so forth.

With that in mind, I hit the shops to track down some drinks that fit the bill — and if you don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day, well, here some long-weekend libations for your consideration.

If wine’s not your valentine’s proverbial cup of tea, why not pop the cork on a sharing-sized beer — perhaps the 3 Monts Blonde Bière de Flandre (Saint Sylvestre Cappal, France — $8.53/750ml bottle, Liquor Marts and beer vendors)? Deep gold in appearance and with a frothy white head, this French strong beer brings deep malt notes along with cracked oat, bread dough, earthy and red apple aromas. It’s medium-plus bodied and dry, with fresh malt, cracked oat, herbal and bread dough flavours, with a subtle peppery note, modest hops and, at 8.5 per cent alcohol, a long and warm finish. Pop the cork (yes, it’s bottled under cork) and enjoy. 4/5

One can’t do Valentine’s Day drinks without some bubbly, and this one has a twist — it’s a sparkling red. The Cantina Settecani NV Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro (Emilia Romagna, Italy — $23, Ellement Wine + Spirits) is deep garnet in colour with modest effervescence, offering plum, blackberry, violet and black cherry aromas. It’s medium-bodied and dry, with just a hint of residual sugar, and brings big blackberry, plum, dark chocolate and raspberry flavours with light tannin, medium acidity and, at 10.5 per cent alcohol, a modest finish. Chill for 20 minutes and surprise your sweetie with a fizzy red. This one’s available at Ellement Wine + Spirits, but most private wine stores should have a few lambruscos on hand — it’s a style of wine that’s definitely worth a try. 4/5

Decrease in crime an inconvenient truth for Poilievre

Decrease in crime an inconvenient truth for Poilievre

Tom Brodbeck 5 minute read Yesterday at 3:13 PM CDT

Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives have apparently decided that facts are an obstacle to their crime narrative.

The latest crime statistics from Statistics Canada, released this week, show the overall crime severity index in Canada fell five per cent in 2025. The conventional crime rate fell two per cent. The violent crime severity index declined and the non-violent index was also down. In other words, crime is falling.

So how did the Conservatives respond this week?

They ignored the broader trend, cherry-picked a few numbers that suit their political messaging and continued to claim that Liberal “catch-and-release” policies are responsible for “rising crime.”

Councillor demands better sidewalk clearing

Katie May 4 minute read Thursday, Jan. 25, 2024

A City of Winnipeg councillor is pushing to make the clearing of sidewalks right down to pavement the same priority as removing snow on the busiest streets.

“People are getting hurt,” said Coun. Matt Allard, who introduced a motion at council’s meeting Thursday.

It calls for snow and ice to be cleared from sidewalks at the same level as Priority 1 streets, regardless of whether the sidewalk or active transportation path is on a Priority 1, 2, or 3 (residential) street.

The motion also calls for plow operators and contractors to be subject to fines if they push snow onto sidewalks and don’t remove it, and for the city to establish a reserve fund for snow-clearing operations.
