MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions from 6 a.m. until 10:15 a.m. After that, the moon moves from Leo into Virgo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Pet owners should be extra vigilant because something unexpected could affect your animal — and it might be an accident. Your work routine will likely be interrupted. Give yourself extra time so you have wiggle room to deal with the unexpected. Stay sharp.

Romancing the Stone star Kathleen Turner turns 72 today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Parents should keep an eye on their children because this is an accident-prone day for kids. (Toddlers especially need to be protected from hazardous situations.) Social plans might be cancelled. Alternatively, a surprise invitation might come your way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Your home routine might be interrupted. Small appliances might break down or a minor outage could occur. Someone unexpected might knock at your door. Stock the fridge so you’re ready for anything. (Ah yes, food soothes the savage beast.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is a mildly accident-prone day for you. Therefore, be smart and think before you speak or act. If you jog or are out walking, be alert. On the upside, you might dream up genius-like ideas.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Keep an eye on your money and possessions to protect yourself from loss, theft or damage. You might find money. Yes, you might also lose money. A friend or a member of a group might surprise you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The moon is in your sign, however, it is at odds with wild, unpredictable Uranus, which means you might be hasty and to jump to conclusions. You might also choose to do the opposite of what anyone suggests because you feel impatient and independent.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might feel unsettled or restless in a strange way. This is because the moon is hiding in your chart, yet it is challenged by unpredictable Uranus. This combo will trigger an emotional unrest within you. Don’t worry because it’s a fleeting influence. Hang tight.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

A friend or a member of a group might do something that catches you off-guard. You might even feel offended. Be aware that a disruptive influence exists, but it’s brief and then it’s gone. Poof. Don’t overreact. Don’t take things personally. Be friendly over an unusual encounter.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is not the day to cross swords with authority figures — bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs or the police. You might attempt to do so because you want to feel liberated. (This is the wrong call right now.) Channel your rebellious independence elsewhere so you’ll have no regrets.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Travel plans might suddenly change. Or, alternatively, you might suddenly have to go away when you did not expect to do so. Likewise, news in the media might surprise you. School schedules might also change or confuse you for some reason. Slow down and take it easy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Double-check banking details because something related to your financial assets (including bank accounts) might experience a glitch. Stay on top of things so you don’t overlook anything.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Relations with friends, partners and even members of the general public might hold a few surprises because people are unpredictable. Everyone is impatient with restraints, duties and responsibilities. This is because people feel a strong need to be free and do their own thing. (And so do you.)

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actress Kathleen Turner (1954) shares your birthday. You’re strong, determined and single-minded. You are intellectually inquisitive and intuitive. This is a marvellous year for you because you will reap the benefits of all your hard work. Expect a promotion, kudos, awards and acknowledgment. Seize opportunities and act on them. The spotlight is on you.

NEW YORK - West Nile virus, Lyme disease, Ebola virus.

And now: 2019-nCoV?

“Just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?” said Trevor Hoppe, a researcher at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, who has studied the history of disease names.

The name, which stands for 2019 novel coronavirus, has been assigned to the virus behind the outbreak of flu-like illnesses that started in China late last year.

Doctors Manitoba contract shows fruitful talks possible amid wage freeze

Doctors Manitoba contract shows fruitful talks possible amid wage freeze

Tom Brodbeck 4 minute read Wednesday, Jul. 17, 2019

If Manitoba doctors can successfully negotiate a tentative contract with the province in the face of a mandated wage freeze, there’s no reason other bargaining units can’t do the same.

Doctors Manitoba, which represent more than 3,000 physicians, has concluded a provisional, four-year deal with government. It includes freezes and caps on doctors’ pay, but it also contains some contract enhancements.

The Pallister government’s Bill 28 — which has still not been proclaimed into law (although it’s being treated as though it has) — calls for a two-year wage freeze for all public-sector workers, with maximum increases of 0.75 per cent and one per cent in years 3 and 4 of a contract. However, all other aspects are open to negotiations during the four-year “sustainability period.”

Despite claims by public-sector unions the government has severely curtailed their ability to negotiate, bargaining agents are still free to negotiate most aspects of their contracts — which is exactly what Doctors Manitoba did.

NDP handily retains northern seat in byelection

Carol Sanders 5 minute read Tuesday, Jul. 21, 2026

Voters in The Pas-Kameesak stuck with the NDP — big time — in Tuesday’s byelection.

With all polls reporting, New Democrat Jennifer Flett received 74 per cent of the votes in the race to replace the late NDP MLA Amanda Lathlin. Flett, a former vice-chief and councillor for Opaskwayak Cree Nation, got a stronger mandate than the NDP received in the 2023 provincial election, when Lathlin received 67 per cent support.

Premier Wab Kinew welcomed Flett to the NDP caucus.

“She knows what families in her communities need, and I look forward to working with her to deliver better health care and more good jobs for The Pas-Kameesak,” he said in a release.

Manitoba children attended Sask. residential school where unmarked graves found

OTTAWA — Manitoba children are likely buried among the potential 751 unmarked graves identified at a former Saskatchewan residential school this week, as the country braces for more burial sites to be uncovered.

“We are not asking for pity, but we are asking for understanding,” Cowessess Chief Cadmus Delorme said Thursday, as he revealed that a ground-radar search had found evidence of hundreds of Indigenous children buried in unmarked graves.

“We need time to heal, and this country must stand by us.”

Manitoba bands are researching whether their ancestors are buried at the site. They have demanded that the Catholic Church hand over records.

A foodborne parasite and government efficiency

A foodborne parasite and government efficiency

Editorial 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

Week-long explosive diarrhea.

There. Now that we’ve got your attention, here’s a cautionary tale about red-tape reduction and public health.

Government regulation is often described by those who have to adhere to it as “red tape,” and governments often set out on red-tape reduction campaigns, based on the conjoined goals of freeing business from unnecessary regulation and freeing governments from having to pay to employ public servants to implement that regulation.

Reduction campaigns often begin by finding the most ludicrous example of government regulation in sight and characterizing it as typical of government rule-making. The fact that many government regulations keep us safe and healthy isn’t usually part of the red-tape discussion.

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.
