MOON ALERT: Caution! Be careful. Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions all day today. The moon is in Virgo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Although you might be focused on work, your best bet is to relax as much as possible and focus on artistic, creative projects. After all, you are the artisan of the zodiac. (You can do anything with your hands.) This entire day is a moon alert, which is excellent for creativity and shmoozing!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

This is the perfect day to entertain at home. It’s also a good day to explore fun activities with kids, sporting events, the arts, romantic dates and a pleasant stroll outside, especially if you check out other people’s gardens. This entire day is a moon alert. Restrict spending to food and gas.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Despite a restless feeling you might have to get out and do something. Because of the placement of the moon, you will also enjoy relaxing at home and taking it easy. Romance might be very promising. (One can always hope.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Seek out siblings, relatives and neighbours, because you’re eager to share your thoughts. A short trip might appeal. Be aware there’s a moon alert all day, so restrict your spending to food and gas. Avoid important decisions. Don’t volunteer for anything.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Be careful! With the sun, Mercury and Jupiter in your sign, you’re ready to set out doing exactly what you want. However, all day is a moon alert! Furthermore, the moon is in your money house. (Gulp.) Definitely restrict spending to food and gas. Make no important decisions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The moon is in your sign and for this entire day, there’s a moon alert. Be aware of this! Don’t volunteer for anything. Don’t agree to anything important. Avoid important decisions. Restrict spending to food and gas. However — have fun! Be creative! Socialize!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’re popular! And because there’s a moon alert all day, it’s a wonderful day to shmooz and socialize with everyone. Just remember not to agree to anything important or make big decisions. And don’t shop! (Except for food and gas.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Travel appeals. Your ability to talk to authority figures is strong now. However, because there’s a moon alert all day, keep things light. Get information but make no decisions. Restrict spending to food and gas. Get your info and wait until tomorrow to act.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You’re high-viz. People notice you. This is fine but don’t stick your neck out by making important declarations. Avoid big decisions. Don’t volunteer for anything, because there’s a moon alert all day. Don’t shop. (Except food and gas.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You make a lovely impression on everyone. Someone might ask for your advice about how to make something more attractive. However, it is a poor day to answer important questions due to the moon alert all day. Restrict spending. Enjoy socializing and learning from others.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

A friendship or a romantic interest might begin with someone “different,” because romance is favoured right now. However, you have the energy to work hard even if you face shortages and delays due to the moon alert all day.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

It’s in your best interest to be co-operative and accommodating with someone else. It’s important to know there’s a moon alert in effect all day which means avoiding spending money and making important decisions. But you can carry on “as usual” with your work.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor, comedian, musician Steve Martin (1945) shares your birthday. You’re observant and you love to express yourself. You are incisive, strong-willed and outgoing. Exciting changes will bring you increased personal freedom this year. Let go of whatever has been holding you back. Seek out new opportunities and be ready to act fast. Trust your intuition. Expect to travel.

City Lego seller continues to build up its business

Gabrielle Piché 5 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

Brick by brick, a Winnipeg Lego seller is building its third expansion — in less than two years.

The Little Brick Market Co.’s new shop was mainly a blank slate Thursday.

A case of Lord of the Rings figurines rested against a wall. In a week, a corner nearby should have some 1,350 minifigures displayed for sale.

Staff are hauling in more than 2,000 Lego sets, two “pick a brick” tables and retro Lego magazines for reading.

Local high school, collegiate athletes trying to focus on future, not dwell on season past

Taylor Allen 15 minute read Friday, Jul. 3, 2020

Nobody can relate to what today’s young athletes are going through.

Imagine entering your final year of high school and being told at the last minute that you can’t compete for a provincial championship. Or what it feels like to be the kid who made sacrifices their entire life to one day earn a scholarship and when that time comes, they’re informed the next season might not happen and their university experience will consist of them sitting behind a computer screen, taking online classes.

The realities in today’s pandemic world are unprecedented. No coach or parent can look at these athletes and say, ‘I know what you’re going through.’ Neither can Adrienne Leslie-Toogood, the director of sport psychology for the Canadian Sport Centre Manitoba. But the former University of Manitoba Bisons shooting guard said it’s important for athletes to not pretend that everything is fine during these challenging times.

“I think that bitter ends up resulting down the road if you don’t allow yourself to feel deeply. That’s the one thing we know in sport for sure, that we feel deeply. We celebrate, we work hard, we invest our heart and soul, so things can hurt pretty bad, too,” Leslie-Toogood says.

Making the right move on rail lines

Making the right move on rail lines

Editorial 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

It’s a familiar sound in Winnipeg.

(No, not sirens, which are now almost a constant.)

It’s the 3 a.m. distant and lonesome train horn, the sound of a train crew working through the night hours, the horn giving its warning at level crossings. Some Winnipeggers hear far more: when the night is still enough, they can hear the rhythmic “tap-tap, tap-tap” of rail wheels on the tracks as long trains thread through the city.

Sounds romantic, in its own way. Unless, of course, the romance is close enough to your bedroom window to wake you up.

Europe anxious as ever about immigration

Kyle Volpi Hiebert 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

It was only a matter of time before immigration would again panic Europe. The issue has roiled the continent’s politics ever since its 2015 migrant crisis, when 1.3 million unauthorized migrants crossed its borders that summer. They exposed a broken immigration system in the process, triggering a populist backlash that hasn’t dimmed.

All those same tensions were reignited in late July, when 72,000 migrants converged on the Spanish exclave of Ceuta in just 24 hours. The city — a holdover from Spain’s colonial era — is Europe’s only land border with Africa, nestled next to Morocco. It was almost instantly overrun.

Dozens of people died in the chaos, while the reasons for the sudden influx remain unknown. However, virtually all the arrivals were sent back to Morocco almost immediately; some spent a few days in makeshift holding centres. None were recorded as finding their way to mainland Europe.

Still, the episode inflamed divisions in a region caught in existential limbo. Ultranationalist political parties are ascendant — yet low birth rates and stagnant productivity mean Europe’s future largely hinges on accepting more newcomers.

A timeline of key events in the SNC-Lavalin affair

The Canadian Press 7 minute read Wednesday, Dec. 18, 2019

OTTAWA - A chronology of key developments in the SNC-Lavalin controversy, according to public documents, reports and testimony to the House of Commons justice committee:

Feb. 19, 2015 - The RCMP lays corruption and fraud charges against Montreal-based engineering and construction firm SNC-Lavalin over business dealings in Libya. SNC-Lavalin says the charges are without merit.

March 27, 2018 - The Liberals table a budget bill allowing for "remediation agreements," plea-bargain-like deals for corporations to avoid criminal proceedings by making reparations for bad behaviour. SNC-Lavalin lobbied for such a provision in Canadian law.

Sept. 4 - The Public Prosecution Service rejects SNC-Lavalin's request to negotiate a remediation agreement. Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould is informed of the decision.
