TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

I call you the financial wizard of the zodiac. (It’s true.) Something unusual might make you rethink your future life direction, especially with respect to your financial power. You might see something new is possible. You might also see what is not possible. You might see what to let go of and what to keep.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

A planetary combo will urge you to overhaul your life in a regenerative way. You might re-align your purpose and your future goals in a new way, Perhaps you see you have the ability and know-how to do something — simply because it is possible.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

A planetary alignment will affect you. It will give you the confidence to go after something you want. (Perhaps you have always wanted it.) Now you see what is doable, maybe because you believe you can finally financially swing it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

At a deep level, you want to make meaningful changes in your closest relationships because of your desires and needs. (There’s a limit to what you will put up with or accept.) You see how things must be so you can steer your life the way you want. It’s a conscious choice.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Even though you have your guilty pleasures, more than most signs, you are aware of hygiene, healthy habits and good eating. Something might create a revolutionary approach within you on how to improve your health or job. It’s exciting.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You appreciate beauty; and at this time, a planetary aspect might reveal new ways for you to create beauty, make art or value your leisure time. You might come to a new understanding of the balance between work and play that fits you best.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Something is occurring in your life that gives you a new appreciation of home and family. It’s a deeper understanding of what is important, along with a better understanding of how you can make decisions to bring what you want closer to your own reality.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might experience an epiphany of sorts related to your communication style. This could be about talking to everyday contacts, siblings, neighbours and relatives. It could be about your approach to writing, teaching and studying. Whatever it is — it’s a breakthrough.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You like well-planned endings. Security matters to you. However, some kind of breakthrough with respect to your finances, possessions or wealth in general will make you look at things with new eyes. You might see new possibilities.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Some kind of internal change is taking place that makes you feel regenerated or perhaps liberated — possibly both. (This is not casual.) Whatever this is, it’s very real and will affect your life and how you relate to others.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You are sensitive and also mystical. Even you know you are intuitive. At this time, something intangible is taking place that is bringing about a shift in your spiritual values. You can feel it. And it is good.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actress Kristen Bell (1980) shares your birthday. You’re enthusiastic, empathetic and friendly. You believe in the greatest good for the greatest number. This year you will receive recognition for your hard work and past efforts. Expect praise, a promotion, kudos, awards — the spotlight. Seize opportunities and act on them.

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.

Strong, capable women rob Trudeau of moral authority

Dan Lett 6 minute read Wednesday, Mar. 6, 2019

The hole that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau fell into last week just got a little deeper, and his path back out significantly less certain.

Following an extraordinary week in which former Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould publicly accused Trudeau and his senior staff of improper political pressure to help SNC-Lavalin, Treasury Board President Jane Philpott resigned from cabinet, saying she had lost confidence in the prime minister and cabinet. 

It was always going to be a challenge for Trudeau to survive the damage done by Wilson-Raybould following her resignation from cabinet, and testimony to a Commons committee last week. But Philpott's resignation has made that climb seem nearly unassailable.

At press time, Trudeau is reportedly hunkered down in his Ottawa office, contemplating some sort of statement of contrition. That's solid evidence that this latest development has pushed Trudeau's leadership to the brink of the abyss.

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.”

Postponed Tokyo Olympics could be downsized and simplified

Postponed Tokyo Olympics could be downsized and simplified

Stephen Wade, The Associated Press 4 minute read Thursday, Jun. 4, 2020

TOKYO - The Japanese public is being prepared for the reality of next year’s postponed Olympics, where athletes are likely to face quarantines, spectators will be fewer, and the delay will cost taxpayers billions of dollars.

In the last several weeks, International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach has given selected interviews outside Japan and hinted at empty stadiums, quarantines and virus testing.

IOC member John Coates, who oversees Tokyo preparations, said a few weeks ago in Australia that the Tokyo Olympics face “real problems," partially because of the numbers involved: 15,400 Olympic and Paralympic athletes to start with, and then staff, officials, media and up to 80,000 volunteers.

The stark message about a very different, reduced Olympics is now being floated in Japan by politicians, and in unsourced news stories. The themes include the possibility of reduced seating at the Olympics — if any fans at all — tests for all athletes, fans and staff, and a quarantine-like situation at the Athletes Village.

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.

Some drinks to choo-choo choose on Valentine’s Day

Some drinks to choo-choo choose on Valentine’s Day

Ben Sigurdson 5 minute read Monday, Feb. 23, 2026

If you write a drinks column and it falls on Feb. 14, you are pretty much legally obligated to expound on drinks for Valentine’s Day … drinks to share with your sweetie, tipples to try with chocolate, pink wines and so on and so forth.

With that in mind, I hit the shops to track down some drinks that fit the bill — and if you don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day, well, here some long-weekend libations for your consideration.

If wine’s not your valentine’s proverbial cup of tea, why not pop the cork on a sharing-sized beer — perhaps the 3 Monts Blonde Bière de Flandre (Saint Sylvestre Cappal, France — $8.53/750ml bottle, Liquor Marts and beer vendors)? Deep gold in appearance and with a frothy white head, this French strong beer brings deep malt notes along with cracked oat, bread dough, earthy and red apple aromas. It’s medium-plus bodied and dry, with fresh malt, cracked oat, herbal and bread dough flavours, with a subtle peppery note, modest hops and, at 8.5 per cent alcohol, a long and warm finish. Pop the cork (yes, it’s bottled under cork) and enjoy. 4/5

One can’t do Valentine’s Day drinks without some bubbly, and this one has a twist — it’s a sparkling red. The Cantina Settecani NV Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro (Emilia Romagna, Italy — $23, Ellement Wine + Spirits) is deep garnet in colour with modest effervescence, offering plum, blackberry, violet and black cherry aromas. It’s medium-bodied and dry, with just a hint of residual sugar, and brings big blackberry, plum, dark chocolate and raspberry flavours with light tannin, medium acidity and, at 10.5 per cent alcohol, a modest finish. Chill for 20 minutes and surprise your sweetie with a fizzy red. This one’s available at Ellement Wine + Spirits, but most private wine stores should have a few lambruscos on hand — it’s a style of wine that’s definitely worth a try. 4/5
