ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is a momentous day for you because you can go after what you want. You’ll be forceful in all your communications. In fact, conversations with partners, spouses and close friends could bring about the very improvements and changes you want.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Discussions about work, employment, earnings and how to use your wealth to the best advantage will be inspirational. Whatever purchases or financial decisions you make will be practical, long-lasting and effective. This is exactly what you want — results.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Discussions with your kids or romantic partner will be transformative. You have an idea in your head you want to propose and you intend to do it. You know it’s practical, doable and will yield reliable results in the future. Believe in yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

This is an excellent day to discuss how to make improvements at home and also within family relationships. Something going on behind the scenes can’t be ignored. If you are open to change, ultimately you will improve your life because you deserve it. You have worked for this.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You have to admit your life is opening up in fresh and exciting ways — primarily because of your headspace. You’re entertaining new ideas about the people you see and even how you relate to partners and those who are close to you. You’re taking charge of your life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might be having an epiphany or a clearer understanding of how to use your possessions, earnings or wealth to make the changes in your life you really want, especially related to your job. This puts you in charge of your future.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

A powerful day. Fiery Mars dances with Saturn, while at the same time, a grand trine between the moon in your sign and Uranus and Pluto are all taking place. Respect your ambitions related to the law, higher education and publishing. You can do things.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might use the resources of family members or partners to make improvements at home — changes that will benefit everyone. You might steer these changes from behind the scenes because it’s not about the credit, it’s about the results.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

A discussion with a partner, spouse or close friend will be profound and meaningful, especially because you’re honest and even blunt. (You know who you are.) It’s time to speak up about what you believe and what you want, whether it’s family, community or country.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You’re high-viz, which is a good thing because there’s something you want to achieve. You’re working hard, especially at work, to bring about the changes you want. Obviously, your focus and determination are the key ingredients.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Discussions about politics, religion, racial issues, higher education, the law, medicine and publishing will bring about important changes now. They could be personal changes related to your kids or a romantic partner. They might be changes related to the arts or a social occasion.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

The meaningful changes you want to bring about at home can be realized now because you have the practical and financial support from another source. These improvements combined with hard work and determination are the recipe you need to fulfil your hopes.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Musician, astrophysicist Brian May (1947) shares your birthday. You’re intellectually sharp, empathetic and concerned about social justice. You have high energy and a great sense of humour. Take inventory of your life because it’s time to let go of people, places and things that have held you back. Do some internal and external housecleaning. Focus on being more compassionate.

Blood services: need 1-M new donors in next 5 years

Tiago Resko 4 minute read Yesterday at 7:05 AM CDT

Getting a tattoo or going out to a bar are common things to do when turning 18, but Saige Zdebiak’s first act of adulthood was donating blood.

“It was always kind of a goal of mine. I’ve always wanted to do it because my mom’s done it hundreds of times,” said the now-22-year-old while donating at Canadian Blood Services earlier this week.

Zdebiak needed a heart transplant when she was three and developed Lyme disease when she was 10. She gives back today so health-care workers can continue to help people the way they helped her.

She is one of 400,000 donors to Canadian Blood Services across the country — but it’s still not enough to meet the recent spike in demand.

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.

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.

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.

Wallowing in jealousy will get you nowhere

Maureen Scurfield 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My girlfriend is beautiful and has a top-heavy body that just won’t quit — and she knows it.

When we went to the beach last weekend, people stood staring at her as she came out of the water in her striped bikini. I really don’t know how to react when this happens. I feel like running up and covering her assets with a towel.

I just want to grab her and say, “She’s mine,” even though I know she’s loyal to me and it would only get me in trouble with her. How can I cope better with this?

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.
