ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Travel if possible or make plans to do so. (Admittedly, travel plans might also be interrupted.) This is also an excellent day to study, learn and make proposals related to higher education, the law or medicine. You have ideas.

Mad Men star Christina Hendricks turns 51 on Sunday.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You are the financial wizard of the zodiac and this is an excellent day to make long-term, practical plans related to taxes, debt and shared property. It’s also an excellent time to fine-tune issues related to wills and inheritances. Check details because something might interrupt your work.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Listen to the advice of someone older because it might be helpful to you. A discussion with someone “different” might be profound and may even change your views about something related to politics, religion or racial issues. Someone might surprise you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Your work routine will be interrupted. Give yourself extra time so you have wiggle room to deal with the unexpected. Discussions about your property and inheritances might be intense. Fortunately, someone in authority will support your views.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

In some ways, this is a playful day; however, important issues might come up for discussion. A friend or a member of a group might surprise you. Controversial matters might come to a head. Fortunately, you make a great impression on everyone, which means people will listen to you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your home routine might be interrupted. Small appliances might break down or a minor outage could occur. Someone unexpected might appear at your door. Issues are intense, especially financial discussions related to shared property and inheritances. Tread carefully.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is a mildly accident-prone day for you. Discussions with others might be serious. You might have to explain yourself or demand an explanation from someone else. Keep things light.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Keep an eye on your money and possessions because something unexpected could result in loss, theft or damage. On the upside, you might find money. This is a good day for financial planning. You might see new ways of earning. You might also see ways to introduce improvements either to your job or your health.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The moon is in your sign dancing with many planets. It’s an electrifying day with a lot happening. Very likely, someone will surprise you by saying or doing something you least expect. Whatever happens, you will express yourself with purpose. (A mystery might be solved.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Hidden situations will intrigue you. In fact, something going on behind the scenes might yield some surprises. Nevertheless, this is a playful, social day. Look for ways to enjoy the company of others. Pet owners should be extra vigilant to avoid mishaps.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

A discussion with a friend or member of a group will be intense. Someone might pull a fast one or surprise you with a curveball. You’re in a sociable mood; however, your primary focus is on home and family right now, including residential repairs. Keep your eyes open.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Tread carefully because parents, bosses and authority figures might do or say something that catches you off-guard. Furthermore, be aware you are high-viz. People notice you. (Some people even know personal details about your private life.) Respect your moneymaking ideas, because they might be worthwhile.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actress Christina Hendricks (1975) shares your birthday. You’re perceptive, intuitive and an astute judge of character. You’re also optimistic and sociable.

Five things we learned from Wilson-Raybould

Mia Rabson, The Canadian Press 4 minute read Thursday, Feb. 28, 2019

OTTAWA - Five things Canadians learned from former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould, in her testimony Wednesday at the House of Commons justice committee.

1. Wilson-Raybould said there were at least 10 phone calls and 10 different meetings, as well as several text messages, about the SNC-Lavalin case, between her or senior members of her staff and 11 people in the Prime Minister's Office and other departments, between Sept. 4, 2018 and Dec. 18, 2018. One of those meetings was between her and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

She said she began to be concerned immediately about what she viewed as pressure on her to overturn the decision not to negotiate a remediation agreement with SNC-Lavalin but that her concerns were heightened as the calls and meetings continued even after she said she had made up he mind not to arrange for a deal.

2. Wilson-Raybould was informed on Sept. 4 that the director of public prosecutions had decided not to pursue a remediation agreement with SNC-Lavalin, but rather continue with a criminal prosecution of SNC-Lavalin. She said she conducted her own due diligence and by Sept. 16 had made up her mind that she would not overrule the director's decision or take over the prosecution herself. The law gives her the authority to do either but Wilson-Raybould said an attorney general has never taken over a prosecution and directives to the public prosecutor have been used only for general policies, not specific cases.

Hospital transfers hastened mother’s death, family says

Hospital transfers hastened mother’s death, family says

Katie May 5 minute read Tuesday, Apr. 5, 2022

The family of a senior with dementia who died after being transferred between two Manitoba hospitals is calling on the province to end patient transfers, especially for the elderly.

Of the 331 hospital patients sent far from home since last October under Manitoba’s inter-regional patient-transfer protocol, it’s unknown how many are elderly, how many have dementia or how many died soon after being transferred.

Shared Health is not disclosing any of that information publicly, and there is no demographic data to show which groups of Manitobans are hit hardest by the transfer policy.

Joyce Rivard, 84, fell and dislocated her hip on Feb. 1 and died at Concordia Hospital on Feb. 25. Before she died, and despite her dementia and frail state, Rivard was transferred to a health centre in Treherne, 126 kilometres away, to free up a bed in Winnipeg. Within 24 hours after the ambulance ride, she dislocated her hip again and was sent back to Concordia.

Insurance inevitably

Joel Schlesinger 6 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

Floods, hail and wildfires are increasingly common features of North American summers.

Adding to collective dismay, these natural disasters are the common denominator behind sticker price shock for homeowners seeing insurance premiums jump higher annually.

“Home insurance has steadily been rising since 2019,” says Matt Hands, vice-president of insurance at Ratehub.ca.

A recent report from Statistics Canada shows home and mortgage insurance premiums have risen 45 per cent on average over the last six years. That is more than double overall inflation over that span.

Traumatized nurses weary of waiting for Pallister to answer call button

Dan Lett 5 minute read Monday, Jan. 6, 2020

In the nearly two years since the Progressive Conservative government released a plan to dramatically reorganize the Winnipeg hospital system, two things have become abundantly clear.

First, that the hospital reorganization initiative — which reduced the number of full-service hospital emergency rooms to just three from the previous six while shuffling other medical specialties among the remaining hospitals — seems, on occasion, to be moving further away from a state of completion.

And second, that very little has been done as the changes have been unleashed to gain the trust of nurses, the single most-affected constituency in the hospital reorganization equation.

Make no mistake, this second issue is closely connected to the first; lingering conflict between the province and its nurses appears to be the single biggest reason why the reorganization plan is faltering.

Bowman seeks public inquiry in wake of allegations of kickbacks to Sheegl, Katz

Aldo Santin 7 minute read Thursday, Jan. 26, 2017

City hall will ask the province to conduct a public inquiry following the revelation of RCMP allegations that kickbacks were made to former mayor Sam Katz and his long-time friend and the city's former CAO Phil Sheegl, stemming from the awarding of the contract for the Smith Street police headquarters project.

Mayor Brian Bowman told reporters Thursday he'll bring a motion to council at the February meeting asking the province for the inquiry, explaining it's necessary to resolve outstanding questions surrounding the RCMP allegations and to restore the public trust in city hall.

"The new RCMP allegations that we’re just learning today are the most seriously damaging to public trust at city hall to date," Bowman said during a news conference outside his office. "I am deeply disturbed, distressed and angered by the allegations and I think all Winnipeggers should be… The public needs to know we’re taking this seriously. The public needs to know that we’re doing everything we can to restore trust and faith in city hall.”

Justice Minister and Attorney General Heather Stefanson said in a statement: "While our government understands the concerns raised by the mayor of Winnipeg, it would be premature for the Attorney General of Manitoba to comment on an issue that remains under active criminal investigation. This is vital to ensure the integrity of the process."
