ARIES (March 21-April 19)

It’s the beginning of the week, and you’re up for fun socializing. The arts, the entertainment world and the hospitality industry are highlighted. Increased chaos and activity at home might be demanding. Even if pressed, make no commitments with a partner or close friend.

Evita star Antonio Banderas is 66 today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You’re keen to express yourself to others. You’ll be convincing, which is good news for those in sales, marketing, teaching, writing and acting. Nevertheless, your primary focus now is on home and family. Exercise caution with work-related romance.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

This week begins at a busy, eager pace. Short trips and conversations with daily contacts, siblings and relatives will interest you. You’re working hard to earn money and spend it. (See moon alert.) When it comes to romance, be careful. Wait until tomorrow.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You are careful with money, which is a good thing. Be aware of the restrictions of moon alert and avoid spending (except for food and gas), because you will be tempted to do so with three planets in your money house. Make no promises at home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You hold all the cards this week because the sun, Mercury and lucky Jupiter are in your sign. Looking good. However, do not feel pressured by others into saying or doing something or committing to anything you don’t want. Be cautious. Check moon alert.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might be tempted to buy something beautiful and elegant; however, please be aware of the restrictions of the moon alert. (See above.) Despite your strong feelings, there’s an element of confusion present, perhaps regarding your financial ability to pay for something.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a tricky day because in one way, it’s a gorgeous day to be friendly and sociable with everyone. There’s a moon alert, which lightens the feelings of all your social exchanges and encourages a carefree nonchalance with everything. Nevertheless, confusion and deceit are possible.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You make a great impression on everyone now with the sun, Mercury and Jupiter high in your chart. Furthermore, you’re eager to travel and expand your world through learning and talking to others. But relations (especially secret romance) might be confusing. Do nothing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a wonderful week to travel, learn and expand your world, all things you love to do. However, a commitment to a friendship or group might create confusion for you. You might feel compelled or coerced by someone. Wait until tomorrow to decide.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

It’s easy for you to be charming and gracious right now, especially in the eyes of others. (This is important to you.) You might feel urged by someone or feel a strong sense of responsibility to do something; and yet, there is hesitation. You’re right — this is why you should wait until tomorrow for clarity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Romance with someone “different” might be compelling. Nevertheless, don’t be seduced by someone (or even yourself) because things are not clear. Wait until tomorrow, which is a lovely romantic day. Things will flow naturally.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is an industrious week because you’re motivated to work hard, and you’ll be pleased to accomplish a lot. However, issues regarding shared property, taxes, debt and inheritances are fuzzy. Knowing this, do not act and don’t agree to anything important. Furthermore, restrict your spending to food and gas during the moon alert. (See above.)

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Antonio Banderas (1960) shares your birthday. You are self- assured and have strong opinions. You think incisively, logically and like to share your views. This is a year of new beginnings, adventures and major changes in your life. What you do now will bring great benefits in the future. Prepare for leadership roles.

Feds warn against non-essential trips abroad

Laura Osman, The Canadian Press 5 minute read Wednesday, Dec. 15, 2021

OTTAWA - The federal government is now warning Canadians against all non-essential international travel in the face of the rapidly spreading Omicron variant of COVID-19.

"To those who were planning to travel I say very clearly, now is not the time to travel," Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos said Wednesday at a news conference in Ottawa.

"The rapid spread of the Omicron variant on a global scale makes us fear the worst for Canadians that may think of travelling."

Duclos said the highly transmissible variant is now spreading in Canadian communities, and just about everywhere else in the world. He said that people who leave the country risk spreading the virus, and getting stranded abroad.

Tabulating long-term impact of long COVID

Dan Lett 6 minute read Monday, Feb. 7, 2022

Throughout a career dedicated to health research, Dr. Alan Katz had never seen anything like it.

In fall 2021, it was announced the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy (which Katz leads) had been awarded a grant to study “long COVID-19,” the name given to the prolonged suffering experienced by people who contracted, and survived, the novel coronavirus.

Soon after the news broke, Katz said something extraordinary happened: he started getting direct calls from people who believed they were suffering from long COVID, and who wanted to participate in the study.

“I’ve done research for a long time and I’d never seen anything like it before,” he said.

Saskatchewan premier defends back-to-school plan

The Canadian Press 4 minute read Monday, Aug. 17, 2020

REGINA - Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says concerns about his government's back-to-school plan are similar to those raised when businesses and services reopened in the province after being shuttered because of COVID-19.

On Monday, Moe appeared at his first press conference since he started facing criticism from some parents, teachers and doctors about the plan to reopen schools in September.

Many have said they're worried because the province isn't mandating masks, ensuring better air flow in schools or reducing class sizes.

"When we reopened the retail sector of our economy - things like restaurants - there was concern and questions across our communities," Moe said at the legislature.

Canada’s Olympic gold medallists in speedskating have eye on world record

Donna Spencer, The Canadian Press 5 minute read Thursday, Dec. 8, 2022

CALGARY - After an Olympic gold medal, going where no team as gone before drives Isabelle Weidemann, Ivanie Blondin and Valérie Maltais.

The trio captured gold in women's speedskating team pursuit in Beijing in February after four years of making the event a priority in their training.

Canadian women have a strong history in the six-lap race, which features two teams of three racing both the clock and each other, but Ottawa's Weidemann and Blondin and Maltais of La Baie, Que., are Canada's first Olympic champions in it.

Reclaiming a world record for Canada is the next carrot the trio will chase.

City’s pension-plan gamble fails to pay off

City’s pension-plan gamble fails to pay off

Editorial 4 minute read Wednesday, Apr. 1, 2020

One can’t help wondering how many people are currently suppressing the urge to say, “I told you so.”

The release this week of an arbitrator’s order for the City of Winnipeg to cancel its unilaterally imposed changes to the Winnipeg Police Service’s pension plan must have been a major disappointment for Mayor Brian Bowman and the members of city council who supported the controversial move, but surely none among them could have been surprised by the outcome.

This was, from the outset, a long-odds gamble by a mayor and council looking for every possible opportunity to dig themselves out of a very bleak budgetary situation — one that, if the roll of the dice came up lucky, might have saved the city $33 million by the end of 2023. Now that arbitrator Michael Werier has ruled the city lacked the authority to impose changes on the WPS pension plan without a negotiated agreement, however, the gamble has been exposed for the bad bet it always was.

At issue was a WPS pension arrangement that has long been viewed by its many critics as far too rich, in part because of the high percentage the city contributes to the plan, because WPS members are allowed to count the substantial overtime many work as pensionable earnings, and because of early-retirement provisions that mean some WPS pensioners might draw on the plan for 40 years or more.
