MOON ALERT: After 3 a.m. there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The moon is in Cancer.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Tread carefully when talking to family members, especially female relatives, as well as partners, spouses and close friends, because confusion is rampant. It’s easy to misunderstand someone. It’s also easy to innocently mislead people. Yes, it’s that kind of day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

When talking to others about work, health or a pet, be extra-clear in your communications, because Neptune can create confusion in conversations. Family discussions, especially about home repairs, might take place. Keep things clear!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

This is a poor day to make financial decisions because the moon is in your money house, and it is at odds with both Venus and Neptune. If you feel tempted to buy something luxurious, beautiful or artistic — clothing, jewelry or art objects — think twice! Wait until tomorrow.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

If you’re talking to parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs or the police, take extra care to clarify what you mean. Furthermore, make sure you know what they require of you or what they are saying. This is because confusion and misinterpretations are likely — especially with authority figures.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a tricky day because the sun, Jupiter and chatty Mercury are all in your sign, which means you’re eager to communicate with others. However, something going on behind the scenes, and possibly something you’re not aware of, could create misunderstandings. Be careful about what you say.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Because there’s a strong possibility for confusion about financial transactions and discussions about money and shared property, you might be wise to delay these exchanges until tomorrow. You can’t believe everything you hear because you might also misinterpret something.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You love beautiful things and harmonious relationships. These are good reasons to be careful when shopping, because you might go overboard buying something you will later regret. Likewise, discussions with authority figures and friends might be confusing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Don’t overreact if you think you’re dealing with a passive-aggressive situation with someone. Confused communications are happening everywhere. For the most part, it may be innocent enough due to misinformation or scant details. Stay cool.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Discussions with friends, groups or kids might require money, funding or use of someone else’s property. If so, be careful to get permission and ensure no assumptions are made. It’s easy to be confused. This could lead to a problem you don’t want. Make sure everyone is on the same page.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Discussions with parents, bosses and authority figures might be strained. This could be because of confusion with a family member, spouse or partner. Someone might make assumptions that are wrong; or they might misunderstand someone else? Be clear in all your communications.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Avoid controversial subjects, because misunderstandings could get people riled up when there’s no need for this. The problem is there’s a strong potential for confusion that is prevalent everywhere. Pull in your reins and tread carefully. Stay on good terms with others.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Be very clear talking to your kids. Likewise, romantic partners should be clear with each other to avoid misunderstandings that create hurt feelings and disappointment. Also be clear about financial matters. If shopping, get a receipt and think twice before you spend your hard-earned money.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Singer, actor Whitney Houston (1963-2012) shares your birthday. You are positive, upbeat and inspirational! You are also perceptive, talented and helpful. Take time to wrap things up this year. Take inventory of your life. Let go of people, places and things from the past that have held you back. Do some internal and external housecleaning. Commune with nature. Focus on being compassionate.

Ford’s $5 wage had surprising condition

Tory McNally 6 minute read Saturday, Aug. 1, 2026

For all the attention paid to modern workplace trends, HR technology, and evolving employee expectations, some of the most fascinating lessons about managing people come from more than a century ago.

One of my favourite examples is Henry Ford’s famous $5-a-day wage. Most people know it as one of the most revolutionary compensation announcements in business history. Fewer people know earning the full amount meant allowing your employer to investigate your personal life.

It sounds almost unbelievable today.

In January 1914, automotive pioneer Ford (1863-1947) announced many employees at his Ford Motor Co. would receive a minimum of $5 for an eight-hour workday, more than doubling the average manufacturing wage.

Folk Fashion

Flower crowns, neon tie dye, sparkly facepaint, flowy harem pants and Birkenstock sandals of every variety. Personal style knows no bounds at the Winnipeg Folk Festival.

While fashion, in general, has taken a hit over the last three years — hello work-from-home sweatpants, goodbye stuffy office attire — festival fashion has been basically nonexistent. Aside from the beach, there are few places in regular life where bathing suits and barefeet pass for an acceptable outfit.

On Friday, festivalgoers appeared to be making up for lost time with a wide range of outfits carefully picked for their form and function. An outdoor summer festival with sun and rain in the forecast requires both, after all.

Here are just a few of the inspired looks from the first full day of the folk fest:

Hellebuyck’s numbers down, but problems go beyond crease

Andrew Berkshire 6 minute read Friday, Dec. 7, 2018

After hitting a bit of a skid in the last couple weeks of November when they lost four of six games, the Jets have turned it around to win four straight heading into Friday’s matchup against the St. Louis Blues, averaging over four goals per game in the process.

They’ve needed that goal support because, outside of Tuesday’s win over the Islanders, they have allowed three or more against in seven of their last nine games. As it is any time a team allows a lot of goals over a short stretch, many are looking straight at Connor Hellebuyck and expecting him to shut the door, going forward.

Goaltending isn’t that simple, and as I mentioned in mid-November, there were signs this season that Hellebuyck’s performance so far this season was as good and in some ways superior to last season, despite the drop in save percentage.

Things change as time goes on though, and because Hellebuyck’s save percentage since then is an unimpressive 87.8 per cent, it’s probably worthwhile to look at his overall numbers to see what’s going on.

Playwright immerses herself in Gabrielle Roy’s world to muse on warmest season

Ben Waldman 6 minute read Wednesday, May. 31, 2023

Not satisfied with taking a walk in Gabrielle Roy’s shoes, Marie-Ève Fontaine decided to sleep in the famed author’s bed.

The St. Boniface theatre artist was searching for inspiration five years ago when she was commissioned by Théâtre Cercle Molière to adapt Cet été qui chantait, an epistolary collection of naturalistic memories written by Roy in the evening hours of her literary heyday.

Compiled in 1972, released in English as The Summer That Sang, Cet été was inspired by the writer’s summertime writing enclave, a cabin in the Quebec town of Petite-Rivière-Saint-François.

From that cabin, Roy observed simple natural phenomena, capturing the drama and comedy of living creatures through a lens of youthful innocence and wonder, an experience Fontaine recreates in her hour-long puppet play, recommended for Grade 3 and up.

Get on board with new mate’s lake plan, or bail fast

Maureen Scurfield 4 minute read Thursday, Jul. 11, 2024

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: As a surprise, my new sweetie has invited me to his cottage at a beautiful lake, for two weeks starting late July. We’ve only been dating a month or so now, but he acts like we’ve always been together. I was all excited to meet his sister last night, who also has a cabin with her husband at the same lake.

She said, “My brother loves it there, more than any place in the world! I’m glad he met an outdoorsy woman who wants to come out here with him.” I cringed. I am not an outdoors person. I’m a city dweller, and I like my indoor toilet and three-ply toilet paper.

I also don’t relish meeting new people. I know I won’t be able to avoid that at this lake where he knows everybody. Should I beg off and stay home, and see my guy when he comes back to the city? I’m a little afraid to do that, because I might be falling in love with him.

Cinderella story continues, Sea Bears bounce Bandits in Conference Final

Joshua Frey-Sam 6 minute read Saturday, Aug. 8, 2026

Just days ago, the Winnipeg Sea Bears were at rock bottom.

The losses had piled up, and the star talent had dwindled. The noise around the club grew, and the confidence from outside the building faded by the day.

Players and coaches alike conveyed the belief that persisted internally, but you wouldn’t fault some fans if those words fell on deaf ears.

Less than a week later, the undermanned and underestimated Sea Bears find themselves two wins away from the tippy top of the Canadian Elite Basketball League’s mountain after a second-straight convincing playoff victory, this time a 107-96 decision over the Vancouver Bandits in the Western Conference Final at the Langley Events Centre in British Columbia on Saturday.
