MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions after 1:30 p.m. The moon is in Virgo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Even though your work routine might be interrupted, this is a productive day. Parents should be extra vigilant because this could be an accident-prone day for kids. Social plans might suddenly change. Athletes should be careful to avoid injuries.

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke turns 58 today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Parents should be vigilant to avoid accidents with their kids. You might impulsively socialize with someone or conversely, you might cancel plans. You’ll put out a lot of energy to tackle home improvements. (You might even surprise yourself.)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Stay light on your feet because your daily routine might change. A small appliance might break down, a minor outage could occur or someone surprising might appear at your door. You’re full of clever ideas. (Guard against accidents.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is potentially an accident-prone day. Keep an eye on your possessions and money to avoid loss, theft or damage. (Something unexpected.) Guard against impulse purchases, especially during the moon alert.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You’re restless and impatient because you want new thrills and chills. This is why you might be impulsive and do whatever you can to break free of your daily routine. Guard against impulse spending, which is likely. Be aware of the restrictions of the moon alert.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You’re eager for something fresh and different. You want to see new places and meet new faces. You certainly want to learn new things. Fortunately, with both Mercury and Venus in your house of communications, you’ll charm everyone you meet.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a restless day for you. However, you’re not the only one, because it’s very likely a friend or member of a group will do something to catch you off-guard. Yes, it’s that kinda day — unpredictable. (Your inner rebel wants to break free.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be aware that you might be surprised by authority figures. Forewarned is forearmed. Likewise, a friend or member of a group might surprise you as well, or catch you off-guard in some way. Or perhaps, you will meet someone who is unusual.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Authority figures are unpredictable. Plans related to travel, higher education, publishing, medicine and the law might suddenly change. Or you might bulldoze your way into a situation that matters to you. That’s because it’s easy to be impatient with restrictions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Keep an eye on issues related to banking, inheritances, shared property, taxes and debt because something unexpected might occur. You’re certainly willing to stand up for your rights and defend your best interests. Travel is unpredictable. Friendships are cosy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You might attract someone to you who is suddenly aggressive or in-your-face. This might relate to an unexpected situation related to shared expenses, jointly held property or inheritances. It might even relate to taxes or debt. Be aware that your relations with authority figures are smooth and supportive. Great.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your work routine might be interrupted. Likewise, relations with partners and close friends are also subject to change and surprises. This is because people feel impulsive. You want to break free of any restrictions. Personally, you would love to travel for pleasure and do anything for a change of scenery. (Well, not anything.)

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Musician Thom Yorke (1968) shares your birthday. You are engaging, determined and assertive. You have strong beliefs and reactions. This is the final year of a nine-year cycle for you. Take inventory of your life. Let go of people, places and things that have held you back. Do some internal and external housecleaning. Commune with nature.

Manitoba worker dead after fall from roof

By Matthew Frank 2 minute read 2:04 PM CDT

The province is investigating after a worker died on the job after falling off a roof last month.

The worker, who was employed by Winnipeg-based Pristine Roofing & Siding, was critically injured on Sept. 22 after falling from a roof during a residential re-roofing project, a provincial spokesperson said in an email. The man later died.

The investigation is ongoing, and no other information will be provided, the spokesperson said on Thursday.

Pristine Roofing & Siding did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Federal COVID-19 aid bill passes into law

Mia Rabson and Joan Bryden, The Canadian Press 6 minute read Wednesday, Mar. 25, 2020

OTTAWA - An emergency federal bill to give the government billions of dollars to spend to help anxious workers, families and employers cope with COVID-19 is now law.

Gov. Gen. Julie Payette signed the bill at 12:18 p.m. Eastern time Wednesday, after both the House of Commons and Senate issued speedy approvals earlier in the day.

The bill allows the federal government up to $52 billion in funds to directly help Canadians, including a repackaged aid program for workers who can't work for almost any reason connected to the virus.

That Canada Emergency Response Benefit will offer $2,000 a month in direct support through the Canada Revenue Agency, and is the main reason the cost of direct COVID-19 aid nearly doubled from an estimated $27 billion last week to $52 billion now.

This week’s silly geopolitical spat

Gwynne Dyer 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

“I would not like to call this an incident. Let’s say it’s a diplomatic misunderstanding,” said Ukrainian Foreign Affairs Minister Andrii Sybiha. But the South Korean president definitely sees it as a serious incident, and he has already gone public with it.

“If (Ukraine’s) refusal to acknowledge the facts and issue a public apology continues, we will take additional measures,” President Lee Jae-myung wrote on X. He probably means cutting the non-military aid South Korea gives to Ukraine. (There is no military aid, since the constitution bans Seoul from providing arms to a country actively involved in a war).

What monstrous misdeed did the Ukrainian government commit to deserve such harsh words from a country that is generally sympathetic to Ukraine’s struggle against its giant neighbour? Have the South Koreans discovered Ukrainian spies in the Blue House?

No, it’s what we professionals call a “spat.”

New beds fill gaps, won’t fix health-care woes

New beds fill gaps, won’t fix health-care woes

Tom Brodbeck 5 minute read 2:45 PM CDT

The NDP government is finally putting more money into one of the most important solutions to Manitoba’s emergency-room crisis: getting patients who no longer require acute-care treatment out of hospitals and into more appropriate care.

The province is adding 103 new community-based spaces in Winnipeg for patients who no longer need to be in hospital but still need somewhere safe to go.

That’s a good investment. It’s also an acknowledgement of a problem that has been clogging Manitoba’s hospitals for years.

About 600 patients are occupying hospital beds on an average day even though they no longer require acute care treatment. They are waiting for personal-care-home beds, housing, home supports, mental-health services or other community-based options.

War veteran helped build Rivercrest

Bill Redekop 6 minute read Saturday, Mar. 30, 2019

As one of the original homeowners in Rivercrest, a subdivision north of Winnipeg set aside for war veterans in 1946, and the very last of them to leave at age 101, Art Christensen embodied neighbourhood-building.

He volunteered with the construction of the Rivercrest United Church, Rivercrest Community Club, West St. Paul Curling Club, and West St. Paul Fire Hall.

He went on to serve as West St. Paul councillor for 10 years, and then as reeve for 11.

Christensen was even a bit of a social convener.

Well, there’s one thing that can be said about Winnipeg’s 2026 mayoral race that sets it apart from most previous campaigns for city council’s top position:

It isn’t boring.

In most civic elections, the power of incumbency and/or familiarity gives one mayoral candidate such a profound advantage that the outcome is all but a foregone conclusion and the lead-up to voting day becomes both uninteresting and largely irrelevant.

This year’s race, to the contrary, has been noteworthy for the unusual level of friction, controversy and mud-slinging that has been injected into the early part of the campaign.
