MOON ALERT: After 4:30 p.m. today, avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions for the rest of the day. The moon is in Aquarius.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is an excellent day for a practical discussion with someone older or more experienced. This might happen by talking to a partner, close friend or member of the general public. It’s a positive day to shmooz. Check moon alert if spending money.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You’re high-viz, which means people notice you more than usual. This will probably benefit those of you at work because relations with co-workers are mutually supportive. You might also benefit from behind-the-scenes research.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

This is the perfect day to explore avenues in publishing, the media, medicine and the law — but do so before the moon alert. Romance with someone different might begin. You might also welcome the advice of someone who is older or more experienced. (You don’t have to reinvent the wheel.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

It’s fortunate you have some strong energy now with fiery Mars in your sign. In fact, it will stay there for another month! Meanwhile, discussions about shared property and banking could benefit home and family for you. Someone has your back.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a great day to shmooz with others! It’s curious, because even though you will be charming and diplomatic with everyone, it’s in your best interests to go more than halfway when dealing with others. Be accommodating and co-operative.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might be interested in buying beautiful things like clothing, dish ware, jewelry and artwork — whatever strikes your fancy. If so, be aware of the limitations of the moon alert (see above). Meanwhile, financial discussions will likely benefit you. Keep your pockets open!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’ll enjoy socializing with others. Romantic connections will particularly appeal. If shopping for wardrobe goodies, be aware of the limitations of the moon alert (see above). You have a soft spot in your heart for someone.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

A practical discussion with someone older, perhaps a family member, might introduce improvements at home or within the family. You might also be prepared to confide in someone about a secret flirtation or love affair. Continue to enjoy the company of others, especially younger people.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Conversations with neighbours, siblings and relatives will please you. In fact, someone older might have advice for you, especially related to a vacation, your kids, sports or the arts. Be reasonable if you face a dispute with someone about shared expenses. Meanwhile, a casual friendship might turn flirtatious?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Financial discussions will go well if you keep an eye on the restrictions of the moon alert. Bosses and authority figures will favour you. As a result, you might be able to benefit home and family in a practical way. Naturally, this will please you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You’re in the driver’s seat because the moon is in your sign dancing beautifully with both Saturn and Venus. It’s a great day to make travel plans. An attraction to someone “different” might occur. Meanwhile, everyday discussions will be down-to-earth and practical.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Work going on behind the scenes will benefit you. In fact, it could trigger money coming your way. If spending, you’ll be careful and frugal. Keep an eye on the moon alert and its financial restrictions. Nevertheless, this is also a fun day to socialize and explore sporting events and playful activities with kids.

Manitoba, Canada make targeted enhancements to AgriStability

Free Press staff 1 minute read Friday, Jul. 24, 2026

Eligible Manitoba farmers impacted by heavy rain and flooding earlier this year will see AgriStability enhancements.

The government is waiving 2025 late-filing penalties for affected farmers in communities that declared states of emergencies. Producers outside those areas may appeal for a waiver of late-filing penalties, if they were affected by flooding and missed the June 30 deadline.

The maximum interim payment available to farmers enrolled in the 2026 AgriStability program has increased to 75 per cent from 50 per cent of the final payment.

Farmers who’ve already received an interim payment will automatically be topped up to the 75 per cent level.

Opponents spar over gas tax holiday

Carol Sanders 4 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 11:36 AM CDT

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is calling on the prime minister to extend the 10-cent per litre gas tax holiday, set to end on Labour Day.

“We’ve done polling that shows a majority of Canadians from across the country oppose the tax coming back on at the pumps,” said Gage Haubrich, Prairie director of the non-profit advocacy group in front of the Manitoba legislature Tuesday.

Those polled in Manitoba and Saskatchewan were more opposed to the return of the federal gas tax than anywhere else in Canada, he said.

Haubrich said the group was also asking Premier Wab Kinew to “follow in the steps of (Ontario) Premier Doug Ford and send a letter to the prime minister calling on him to extend the gas tax cut as well.”

Stick with familial roles that work for you

Maureen Scurfield 5 minute read Monday, Aug. 24, 2026

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My teenage mother abandoned me as a baby boy. She left town after dropping me off to live with my teenage father, who still lived with his parents and their large Franco-Manitoban family. I had a good life and was spoiled by him, mémère and all the other kids.

My birth mother moved in with some of her family in another province, and didn’t figure in my life at all. I never saw her or heard from her, but I wasn’t really bitter about that. She just didn’t exist for me, except for a photo or two.

My grandmother, who told me to call her Mom if I wanted, was a great mother figure to me. She and my grandfather really loved all the kids, including me — the surprise new baby.

But now my birth mother is coming back to Manitoba for a holiday and has told people in the family she wants to see me. Why now? To see how I turned out without her? My stomach churns when I think about it. I’ve had a good life and I don’t want her coming back to claim me as her son now.
