ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Your verbal skills are great, however, parents need to cut their kids some slack as power struggles might arise. Romance can also suffer from ego conflicts and issues related to power and control. Tread carefully.

As Good As It Gets star Greg Kinnear turns 63 today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Your well-meaning intentions might backfire on you when dealing with parents and authority figures. Perhaps you’re coming on a little too strong. You have definite ideas about decorating. You might also want to entertain at home. (Lighten up.)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Steer clear of conflict with others, especially about controversial subjects such as politics, religion and racial issues because they could turn into nasty arguments. The sun is in your sign and you’re powerful right now. Finances favour you. Be careful talking to others.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Try to avoid power struggles over money and financial control because these issues might arise. If it’s not about money or how to spend, it could be down to a specific possession of yours. Fortunately, with Venus in your sign, you’ll be tactful.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

The moon is lined up with fair Venus making you eager to get out and socialize. In fact, you want to party. The problem is, at the same time the moon is opposite Pluto, which means you might butt heads with partners, spouses and close friends over social plans. Tread carefully.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

People admire you. Furthermore, your relations with friends and groups are warm and smooth. Nevertheless, an undercurrent might put you at odds with someone related to your work, your pet or even your health. Patience is your best friend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You like to get along with others because you like harmony in your surroundings. Initially, you will feel warmhearted to a friend; however, a difference of opinion could lead to a clash (perhaps with your kids) that could be nasty. Use your diplomatic skills to steer through this day.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Power struggles with authority figures — parents, bosses, teachers and the police — might arise. You might also find yourself at odds with spouses, partners or close friends. (That covers quite a population.) Travel and do something different.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Power struggles with family members, parents and bosses might create challenges for you. Fortunately, you have the energy to work and get things done. If relations are challenging, then pivot and channel your energy into working for results that will please you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

It might be tough to avoid money squabbles. Initially, you have specific ideas about spending. (In fact, funds might come to you.) Unfortunately, some challenges will arise. Venus opposite your sign will save the day because you are charming with everyone right now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You have no choice other than to co-operate with others to keep the peace and achieve what you want to do. If you can avoid power struggles and instead choose a playful outlet — socializing with friends, sports or fun activities with kids — you’ll be happier.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Struggles related to your health, parents and work might be a challenge. Instead, play hooky and escape with some fun socializing. Sporting events, fun activities with kids and romantic adventures will appeal. You might also choose to relax at home.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Greg Kinnear (1963) shares your birthday. You want to improve society. You have progressive ideas, and you’re imaginative, tenacious and persuasive. This is a year of service to others. Take care of yourself so you can be a support for those who turn to you for guidance, comfort and courage. Personalize your home.

Small business group says immigration cut makes it tough to hire workers

Carol Sanders 5 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

Canada’s immigration clampdown has put employers in remote and rural places in a bind and put fear into employees from abroad who want to stay.

Yi (Rick) Zheng and his family from China, who’ve been working in Thompson for two years and hope to gain permanent residency, said they fear their work permits will expire and they’ll have to leave the country.

Zheng, 41, says he works as a restaurant cook and his wife works at a hotel in the northern city, where their two children, ages 10 and 12, are thriving in school.

“I work very hard every day. Our kitchen doesn’t have enough staff.”

Refining the aluminum can deposit system

Every week across Winnipeg, homeowners face a ridiculous choice — hoarding sticky, leaking stacks of empty beer and seltzer cans in the garage to haul down to a retail vendor, or toss them into the curbside blue bin and suffer a financial penalty for making the convenient choice.

This isn’t an accident. It is the result of a bloated policy double standard maintained by Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries (MBLL) and legacy industry loopholes.

To see how absurd the system has become, you only need to compare two identical 12-packs of cans on Manitoba shelves.

It’s about more than tractors at threshermen’s reunion

Matt Goerzen 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

BRANDON — The Manitoba Threshermen’s Reunion and Stampede will sport a carnival-style midway for the first time in decades when it opens this weekend.

The Manitoba Agricultural Museum in Austin offered to be a stand-in host for a Select Shows gig that was flooded out in Swan River.

Earlier this month, the Swan River Valley Agricultural Society was forced to cancel the 2026 North West Agricultural Society Exhibition and Stampede after flooding forced evacuations and caused extensive damage.

The Swan River event was supposed to take place from July 23-26 — the same dates as the threshermen’s reunion.

Alberta-based UFA Co-op preps first cardlock, fuel hub in Manitoba

Gabrielle Piche 4 minute read Yesterday at 8:20 PM CDT

An Alberta-based co-op plans to open its first Manitoba gas station later this year.

UFA Co-operative Ltd. has circled Portage la Prairie for a cardlock and bulk petroleum site. Meanwhile, it’s analyzing the keystone province for future locations.

“There is more to come,” Fred Thun, UFA president, said Wednesday.

The co-op counts at least 121 petroleum stations across Alberta and Saskatchewan and 125,000 member-owners. It already ships fuel to bulk customers in Manitoba.

The number of Indigenous inmates in prison is a problem — but Ottawa has no plan to fix it

The number of Indigenous inmates in prison is a problem — but Ottawa has no plan to fix it

Ryan Thorpe 2 minute read Thursday, Apr. 29, 2021

The number of Indigenous people being locked up in federal prisons is spiking despite overall declines in both incarceration and crime rates across the country.

Accounting for just five per cent of Canada's population, Indigenous people make up 30 per cent of the federal prison system's inmate population.

The crisis is particularly acute in the Prairies, where roughly 70 per cent of the people behind bars at Stony Mountain Institution north of Winnipeg are Indigenous.

Ryan Beardy, a former gang member and current justice advocate, mentor and freelance journalist, said that it was while he was incarcerated at Stony Mountain that he decided to begin speaking out about prison conditions in Canada.
