Moon Alert: There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Cancer.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This might be a challenging day dealing with issues related to home and family, including parents. Obstacles might arise in addition to some confusion. Mixed-up conversations or incorrect assumptions might get in the way of things. Fortunately, a work-related surprise might please.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Don’t get your belly in a rash because things look worse than they are today. Many will fall prey to negative thinking or believing something that isn’t true. Be careful. Meanwhile, unexpected social plans might delight; however, parents should be vigilant because this is a mildly accident-prone day for kids.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Be careful about financial transactions today (including shopping) because an element of confusion is present. You might feel depressed and buy something out of bad judgment. (Desperate shopping therapy.) Stock the fridge because surprise company might drop by.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign, challenged by other planets, which might make you feel gloomy, depressed, or cut off from others. This is temporary. Tomorrow is a completely different day! Stay light on your feet because something unexpected will occur.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Some days the glass is half-full, and other days the glass is half empty. This is a half-empty day. Ignore the paralysis of the negative. A pleasant surprise related to money, wealth, possessions or your salary might catch you off guard.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today is a mixed bag. A friend or a member of a group might disappoint you or be on your case for some reason. (Nobody likes this.) However, Venus is in your sign getting a jolt from unpredictable Uranus, which could be a stimulation of some kind. Sudden romance? An argument? Who knows?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a poor day to ask authority figures – bosses, parents, teachers and the police – for permission or approval. You might say the stars are not aligned. The truth! However, something unexpected — a little surprise that is private, perhaps even just a headspace, might please you.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

A friend or a member of a group might do something unexpected that pleases you today. Hopefully, this is true because meanwhile, news in the media plus issues related to travel, medicine and the law might disappoint or get you down. (Tomorrow is a better day.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Although you might have disputes with someone about shared property, taxes, debt or inheritances that are disappointing, nevertheless something pleasant will give you a boost today. You might shine in the eyes of others. Perhaps you look good?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Don’t push your luck talking to partners, spouses and close friends today because issues are tricky, confusing and disappointing. This is not a feel-good situation. However, surprise opportunities to travel or explore further education or benefit through medicine and the law might occur. Who knew?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Work might be tedious, boring, disappointing or mildly scary today, especially if someone has the evil eye on you. However, an unexpected bonus might come your way. It could be a favour, money, a gift or a boon on behalf of your partner or someone else.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

A pleasant exchange with a partner, spouse or close friend might give a lift to your day. However, relations with kids and romantic partners as well as social outings, sports events and the arts could disappoint. You might ask yourself: were your expectations realistic?

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Harrison Ford (1942) shares your birthday today. You are kindhearted, innovative and intuitive. You recognize opportunities and know how to seize the moment. This is a fantastic year to socialize and enjoy life! Nurture the happiness and beauty that you have within. Let your guard down and loosen up a bit. Old friends might reappear to rekindle relationships.

Pandemic point man didn’t resign, exactly

Dan Lett 5 minute read Thursday, Jan. 14, 2021

The rumours of Paul Beauregard's demise appear to have been greatly exaggerated.

Email inboxes and phone lines were burning-hot Thursday morning with the news that Treasury Board Secretary Beauregard — arguably the most powerful bureaucrat in the Manitoba government and the point man for the province's pandemic response — had resigned his post while the province is still very much in the grips of a public-health crisis.

Beauregard is a controversial figure who been caught up in a scrap with the Opposition NDP over allegations he was improperly involved in the awarding of a contract to Bell MTS, his former employer. The political battle prompted Beauregard to file an unprecedented harassment and bullying complaint against an NDP MLA.

But even with all of Beauregard's baggage and the myriad problems with Manitoba's pandemic response, changing leadership mid-crisis would be a horrible blow to a government already suffering from a deficit in public confidence.

No museum can tell the whole story

Stuart Williams 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

The continuing debate over the Canadian Museum for Human Rights’ Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present exhibit has focused significantly on what the exhibit leaves out.

Some critics argue that the exhibit should have explained the United Nations Partition Plan, the Arab rejection of that plan, the 1948 invasion by neighbouring Arab states, the displacement of Jews from Arab countries, Hamas, October 7, the hostages and the reasons for Israeli security measures.

Others argue with equal conviction that it should also have addressed the Deir Yassin massacre, the expansion of Israeli settlements, decades of occupation, the Right of Return, changing demographic realities and the experiences of Palestinian refugees throughout the Middle East.

All of those subjects matter. Many remain the subject of legitimate scholarly debate. But the controversy points to a broader question that extends well beyond this particular exhibit.

Province triples fines, imposes suspensions in distracted-driving crackdown

Jessica Botelho-Urbanski 5 minute read Tuesday, Oct. 16, 2018

Distracted driving fines will more than triple when the province proclaims new legislation Nov. 1 that's meant to crack down on the potentially deadly behaviour.

Infrastructure Minister Ron Schuler announced stiff penalties Tuesday which, in some cases, exceed the punishments set for impaired driving in Manitoba.

Distracted drivers caught by police for the first time will be subject to a $672 fine (up from $203), a three-day licence suspension, a penalty of five demerits (as opposed to the previous two demerits) and a $50 licence reinstatement fee.

Drivers penalized a second or subsequent time within 10 years are subject to the same fines, fees and demerit losses all over again, plus a seven-day licence suspension.

CFLPA secures tentative assistance for players

Dan Ralph, The Canadian Press 5 minute read Wednesday, Aug. 19, 2020

There will be no pro football in Canada in 2020, but the CFL Players' Association says it has tentatively secured its membership some financial help.

The union told players in an email Wednesday those under contract would be eligible for wage subsidy from July through December. The CFLPA added the benefits could go beyond that if the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) is extended.

A CFL source said league teams will make applications to the subsidy program on their players' behalf. The union added it is hoping to finalize matters in the next day or so.

The CFLPA also says CFL players will have their medical coverage extended through to the start of training camp in 2021.

Wilson-Raybould no-shows angered senators

Joan Bryden, The Canadian Press 5 minute read Friday, Feb. 15, 2019

OTTAWA - Former justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould angered senators by refusing to give testimony on a change to the Criminal Code that is now at the centre of allegations that she was improperly pressured to help SNC-Lavalin avoid criminal prosecution.

The Criminal Code amendment was stuffed into an omnibus budget implementation bill last year and got little scrutiny from MPs on the House of Commons finance committee.

But when it got to the Senate, the upper chamber's legal and constitutional affairs committee was tasked with scrutinizing the provision, which allows prosecutors to negotiate remediation agreements, a kind of plea bargain, in cases of corporate corruption.

The committee held extensive hearings last May and heard from an array of expert witnesses, including Justice Department officials, who suggested that some questions were best put to the minister of justice. The committee invited Wilson-Raybould but she did not show up. In her stead, the government sent her parliamentary secretary, Liberal MP Marco Mendicino, and Public Services Minister Carla Qualtrough.

Mind the age gap: only 56 per cent of Manitobans 80-plus have had first vaccine dose

Danielle Da Silva 5 minute read Thursday, Mar. 25, 2021

An estimated 24,000 Manitoba seniors over the age of 80 have yet to get a single shot of the COVID-19 vaccine, even as the age criteria for the life-saving jab is poised to dip below age of retirement.

As of Thursday, at least 30,950 Manitobans 80 or older had received one shot of the COVID-19 vaccine. According to population data from Statistics Canada, that’s about 56 per cent of that age group.

“The more we can bring the vaccine to the people, as opposed to bringing the people to the vaccine, that’s going to be the best for those oldest age groups and, in particular, the ones who have not been vaccinated already,” said Prof. Michelle Porter, director of the University of Manitoba Centre on Aging.

“It’s not because they’re hesitant. It’s not because they don’t want the vaccine. It’s all of these other logistical issues that are preventing them.”
