MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions after 2 p.m. The moon is in Aries.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is a powerful day for you because the moon is in your sign, and there is a lovely trine between Jupiter and Saturn happening. This will encourage you to make plans — cautiously. You’re ready to roll up your sleeves and get to work.

The Other Bennet Sister star Donal Finn is 31 today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

This day is a mixture of work and play for you. Opportunities to enjoy sporting events, fun times with children, the arts, theatre and the entertainment world are at hand. However, you might see ways to secure something related to home and family.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Even though your strong focus now is on home, family and perhaps renovations, Venus wants you to play. In addition to this, it’s a good day to think about long-range goals, especially in practical terms. Be aware of the moon alert and just jot down your ideas for future reference.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You have lots of energy this week with fiery Mars in your sign. In addition to which, both the sun and Mercury will keep you busy with short trips, appointments, errands and chatting with everyone. You’ll enjoy entertaining at home as well. It’s a good day for solid financial plans.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Money, cash flow and earnings have been on your mind. However, Jupiter in your sign is dancing favourably with Saturn (for the first time since 2014). Trust your ability to make plans about travel, publishing, medicine, the law and higher education. Tentative, yes, but a beginning.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The sun and Mercury are in your sign, which makes you chatty and eager to talk to others. You might want to buy beautiful things, if so, check the restrictions of the moon alert. (See above). Take a moment to do some serious thinking about shared property and your debt.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

If you’re involved with a friend, group or organization, you might help others to make a mission statement or come up with a group goal. This is an excellent day to explore this — but don’t settle on anything. Don’t agree, just yet.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might make some plans about your future, especially regarding your job, career or your name in the community. Nevertheless, commit to nothing. (See what happens after tomorrow.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You make an excellent impression on others now, which is why it’s a great time to talk to bosses, parents and VIPs. You might discuss travel plans and issues related to children, the arts and social outings. Wait until later in the week to agree to anything.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Family discussions might produce profitable suggestions for home and family or to deal with shared property. Nevertheless, don’t agree to anything because things might change, especially after tomorrow. Just put ideas in your databank for now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

A discussion with a partner, spouse or close friend will be enthusiastic, practical and productive. You might even want to jump on the bandwagon to get things rolling, but don’t be too eager. Tomorrow will have some obstacles. Wait to see how things pan out.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You have growing optimism about your job and ability to earn money. You might listen to the advice of someone who is enthusiastic and encouraging. Nevertheless, get your data but wait until later in the week to act, because tomorrow could be a game changer.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Donal Finn (1995) shares your birthday. You’re charismatic, focused and motivated. You’re also charming, efficient and committed to your goals. This is a year of work and construction. Create foundations in your life both externally and internally. Simplicity is key. Take charge of your health, perhaps through martial arts or yoga. Stay grounded and levelheaded.

Trump: Ozymandias revisited?

John R. Wiens 5 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

In 1818, Percy Bysshe Shelley, inspired by the shattered statue of the most powerful Egyptian Pharaoh, Ramses II, wrote the sonnet Ozymandias as a comment on human hubris and impermanence. It provides a fitting epithet for the imperialistic forays of the current United States’ president and would-be autocrat, Donald J. Trump.

What Ramses and Trump have in common is unrestrained hubris and unlimited delusion.

Ramses says: “My name is O, King of Kings. Look at my works you Mighty and despair.”

Trump’s hubris and bluster on limits to his power: “There is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.” On Truth Social, Trump declared himself the “most powerful person that has EVER walked this planet.”

Woman resorts to hit jobs to make ends meet

David Pitt 4 minute read Saturday, May. 2, 2026

Kang Jiyoung’s Mrs. Shim is a Killer (Harper Perennial, 320 pages, $25), originally published in Korea in 2010, is absolutely delightful.

Shim Eunok, a 52-year-old widow and mother of two, is barely making ends meet. When the butcher shop at which she works closes unexpectedly, throwing her out of work, Mrs. Shim answers a help-wanted ad posted by the Smile Private Detective Agency. Much to her surprise, she’s hired on as a contract killer.

What a charming character is Mrs. Shim: soft-spoken and unassuming, but a wizard with a sharpened blade. She’s not cold-hearted, just coldly analytical: she needs money, and killing pays well.

The novel, beautifully translated by Paige Morris, isn’t exactly a comedy, but neither is it one of those dark, gloomy thrillers. In fact, it’s a lot of fun.

Knowing history — and not repeating it

Peter McKenna 5 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

Prime Minister Mark Carney summed up the current bilateral trade predicament nicely: “We cannot accept what they’ve offered and we will not give what they’ve asked.”

Interestingly, there are many similarities between what happened in the fall of 1987 and the trade war happening today between Canada and the United States. It has the same feel to it. And some of the same concerns, for me.

Of course, it’s a very different era and environment today. The circumstances are also not the same. And then there’s Trump.

But I can’t help but wonder if the recent turn of events in Canada-U.S. trade relations will resemble those of October 1987. That’s when Canada chose to return to the free trade negotiations and eventually cobble together a deal with the Ronald Reagan administration.

A trade and tariff take

My take on the Canada/U.S. trade negotiation breakdown is that the Americans simply overplayed their hand. They added last-minute items and wording in an effort to jam us into a one-sided deal, expecting we would avert new tariffs at any price.

Now we see the U.S. Trade Representative, (Jamieson) Greer, pleading it was Canada that came forth with new requests. It is hard to believe, given (the Trump administration’s) propensity to stretch the truth and outright lie.

Trump needs a win on a trade deal with Canada more than we do, given U.S. mid-term elections are coming up in a couple of months. Inflation in the U.S. is already higher due to increased oil prices from Trump’s war on Iran and his tariffs create additional upward price pressures.

Ukrainian refugees plan to flee city after life-threatening attack at The Forks

Chris Kitching 8 minute read Monday, Jul. 4, 2022

Two Ukrainian refugees attacked at The Forks on Canada Day intend to leave Manitoba, as a rash of incidents highlights an increase in violent crime in Winnipeg.

The city’s emergency services responded to three serious stabbings and two shootings, including Winnipeg’s 27th homicide of the year, over a bloody long weekend.

Friday night’s stabbing at The Forks was the third attack in five days at the national historic site.

“We saw a young man holding his chest and his neck desperately asking for help as he walked toward traffic,” said witness Julya Zan. “The knife was sticking out of his neck.”
