MOON ALERT: After 1:55 a.m. p.m. there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Scorpio.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Continue to focus on home and family issues, especially repairs and improvements. This is a lovely day to socialize and enjoy fun activities with kids; however, disputes about shared property, taxes, debt or inheritances could create power struggles. Tread carefully.

Argentine soccer star Lionel Messi is 39 today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

This is a busy time for you with short trips, appointments and conversations with everyone. You might be redecorating at home and entertaining. You have lots of energy because fiery Mars is still in your sign boosting your vim and vigour. Be patient with partners and authority figures. Stay chill.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

It’s fortunate fair Venus is in your house of communications smoothing difficult conversations you might encounter. This is because power struggles related to your job, pet or health are hard to avoid. Guard against being obsessive.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You are a nurturing sign and you might feel compelled to have your way with issues related to your kids, social outings and the arts. This could put you at odds with someone, especially over funding or the cost of something. Make sure to listen to what others have to say.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

The day has its challenges because the moon and Pluto are at odds with your sign. This could create sudden urges and impulsive behaviour at home, within the family, or with a spouse or partner. Something might upset you to the point you lose focus on everything else. Deep breaths.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a popular time for you, and you might be interacting with younger people more than usual. Travel and educational plans, along with medical and legal issues, might also be on the table. For your own good, avoid emotional power struggles. Don’t let people manipulate you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You like harmony in your surroundings. Furthermore, you are noticed now because the sun is high in your chart, making you look good, which is fortunate. These are good reasons to avoid public money squabbles with your kids or a romantic partner.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The moon is in your sign at odds with your ruler Pluto making you emotionally intense, perhaps even obsessive about something. You are a strong-willed sign and when you want something, you can come off as threatening or overpowering. Turn down the volume.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Something going on behind the scenes is filling your thoughts. It’s all you can think about. To break free from this obsessive grip, focus on work and being productive. You might also travel for pleasure — something that always pleases you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Be easygoing and co-operative when talking to friends and members of groups and organizations because personality clashes will easily arise. Why not channel this playful, competitive energy into something enjoyable? Let go of what is creating your angst.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Increased chaos and activity at home might be frustrating now. Fortunately, you’re prepared to work. This day however, power struggles with authority figures — parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and police — might arise. Never underestimate the power of courtesy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Focus on playful opportunities to socialize with others and enjoy sports, the arts and fun times with children. Work colleagues will also be pleasant and supportive. Therefore, don’t get bogged down in politics, religion or racial issues, which might upset you. Not right now. You need a clear mind to address these matters.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Argentine footballer Lionel Messi (1987) shares your birthday. You are determined, realistic and energetic. You’re also affectionate and committed to those who are dear to you. This is a year of work and construction. Simplicity is key. Build solid foundations both internally and externally. Take charge of your health. Physical exercise will play an important role.

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.

Critics pan Tories’ French education funding boost

Maggie Macintosh 5 minute read Wednesday, Feb. 9, 2022

TORY ministers touted new funding for French education at a mid-day news conference Tuesday — an event political opponents are calling a smoke screen for scathing criticism about second-language resources in a provincial report that was released hours after the event.

Shortly after noon, Advanced Education Minister Jon Reyes and Rochelle Squires, minister responsible for francophone affairs, announced the Manitoba government would be earmarking additional funds for education programs at the University of Saint-Boniface.

The duo, alongside university president Sophie Bouffard, indicated the province will start picking up a $350,000 annual tab — a sum that has been covered by temporary federal grants since 2017— to ensure USB can continue to graduate as many as 70 French teachers every year.

“(Its) bachelor of education program is the only program in Manitoba designed entirely to prepare students to teach in the public school system’s français and French Immersion programs,” Reyes told reporters, during a bilingual news conference.

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.

Mountain View teacher stripped of licence over explicit messages

Maggie Macintosh 5 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

A Roblin teacher has been stripped of his professional licence after an undercover police investigation found he sent explicit messages to a social media user he believed to be a 15-year-old girl.

Manitoba cancelled Josh Braaksma’s credentials — listed in the province’s online registry under his full name, Joshua William Braaksma — on July 6. His certificate was suspended on an interim basis in the fall.

The misconduct case involving Braaksma, who has taught and coached in the Mountain View School Division over the last decade, is the first to be resolved via a “written hearing.”

“Having regard to the nature, content and context of (his) communications, the panel finds that the teacher’s conduct renders him unsuitable to be a teacher,” the disciplinary decision states.
