ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is a momentous day for you because you can go after what you want. You’ll be forceful in all your communications. In fact, conversations with partners, spouses and close friends could bring about the very improvements and changes you want.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Discussions about work, employment, earnings and how to use your wealth to the best advantage will be inspirational. Whatever purchases or financial decisions you make will be practical, long-lasting and effective. This is exactly what you want — results.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Discussions with your kids or romantic partner will be transformative. You have an idea in your head you want to propose and you intend to do it. You know it’s practical, doable and will yield reliable results in the future. Believe in yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

This is an excellent day to discuss how to make improvements at home and also within family relationships. Something going on behind the scenes can’t be ignored. If you are open to change, ultimately you will improve your life because you deserve it. You have worked for this.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You have to admit your life is opening up in fresh and exciting ways — primarily because of your headspace. You’re entertaining new ideas about the people you see and even how you relate to partners and those who are close to you. You’re taking charge of your life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might be having an epiphany or a clearer understanding of how to use your possessions, earnings or wealth to make the changes in your life you really want, especially related to your job. This puts you in charge of your future.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

A powerful day. Fiery Mars dances with Saturn, while at the same time, a grand trine between the moon in your sign and Uranus and Pluto are all taking place. Respect your ambitions related to the law, higher education and publishing. You can do things.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might use the resources of family members or partners to make improvements at home — changes that will benefit everyone. You might steer these changes from behind the scenes because it’s not about the credit, it’s about the results.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

A discussion with a partner, spouse or close friend will be profound and meaningful, especially because you’re honest and even blunt. (You know who you are.) It’s time to speak up about what you believe and what you want, whether it’s family, community or country.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You’re high-viz, which is a good thing because there’s something you want to achieve. You’re working hard, especially at work, to bring about the changes you want. Obviously, your focus and determination are the key ingredients.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Discussions about politics, religion, racial issues, higher education, the law, medicine and publishing will bring about important changes now. They could be personal changes related to your kids or a romantic partner. They might be changes related to the arts or a social occasion.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

The meaningful changes you want to bring about at home can be realized now because you have the practical and financial support from another source. These improvements combined with hard work and determination are the recipe you need to fulfil your hopes.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Musician, astrophysicist Brian May (1947) shares your birthday. You’re intellectually sharp, empathetic and concerned about social justice. You have high energy and a great sense of humour. Take inventory of your life because it’s time to let go of people, places and things that have held you back. Do some internal and external housecleaning. Focus on being more compassionate.

Convicted sex offender awaits latest sentence

Dean Pritchard 5 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

Prosecutors are seeking a 15-year prison sentence for a Red Lake, Ont., man who groomed two Indigenous girls online and drove nearly 500 kilometres to Winnipeg to sexually abuse one of them.

Scott Christopher Alcorn, 50, has pleaded guilty to one count each of child luring, sexual interference and possession of child sexual abuse material.

Alcorn was still on parole for child sex offences at the time of his April 2025 arrest, having been convicted four years earlier of providing a 16-year-old girl a bottle of alcohol in exchange for sex.

“Despite this (prior conviction)… Mr. Alcorn egregiously reoffended, this time to lure two children online and successfully groomed, manipulated and commodified one of (the victims),” Crown attorney Dayna Queau-Guzzi told provincial court Judge Robert Heinrichs at a sentencing hearing Thursday.

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.

National Newspaper Week recognizes efforts of the journalists keeping small-town papers alive

Malak Abas 8 minute read Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2020

On the evening of Oct. 14, 2007, the Cartwright Community Centre arena burned to the ground.

Fondly referred to as the Clipperdome, it was a communal space in the small Manitoba town of Cartwright, about 180 kilometers southwest of Winnipeg. It was especially lively in the winter, when the hockey arena was a busy hub for locals to connect, many of whom were members or knew members of the Cartwright Clippers senior hockey team.

“Sorrow” was the word Vicki Wallace — the editor, publisher and sole reporter of Cartwright weekly newspaper the Southern Manitoba Review — used when describing the fire and the community’s response.

“I’ll tell you right now, you made me cry,” she told a Free Press reporter when recalling the time.

Too close to call in Assiniboia

Marsha McLeod 3 minute read Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2023

The Winnipeg constituency of Assiniboia was too close to call Tuesday, with the NDP candidate leading over the incumbent Tory minister of seniors and long-term care.

At 11:15 p.m., Elections Manitoba, reporting just seven of 18 polls, had the NDP’s Nellie Kennedy with a 562-vote lead over Progressive Conservative incumbent Scott Johnston in the swing riding on the western edge of the city.

Losing the seat would be a blow for the Tories, but it would be a moral, rather than a functional, one. A win for the PC incumbent would do little to dent the NDP’s majority victory. Liberal Charles Ward was running a distant third.

A NDP win would be a reversal. In the 2016 and 2019 elections, the party lost Assiniboia to the PCs by roughly 16- and nine-point margins, respectively. Johnston won with 44 per cent of the vote in 2019.

Ignoring the facts makes for a better budget story

Dan Lett 6 minute read Tuesday, Sep. 29, 2020

In Premier Brian Pallister's world, the public accounts for the 2019-2020 fiscal year serve as the ultimate good news story.

The final accounting of government revenues and expenditures, the public accounts show a small surplus of $5 million. According to Pallister, this was accomplished without much pain for Manitobans, who can now share in the knowledge that finally, mercifully, the books are balanced.

Of course, in accentuating the positive, Pallister had to ignore a few things.

Such as tens of thousands of government workers who have gone without a pay increase for three years. And a health-care system that, despite an influx of funds last year, continues to suffer from three years of crippling underfunding. And infrastructure spending that has been cut back by hundreds of millions of dollars. And an education system in chaos from the dual pressures of austerity and pandemic upheaval.
