MOON ALERT: There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The moon is in Sagittarius.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You want adventure and stimulation — something interesting! You might also make practical plans related to the law, medicine, higher education or publishing. Yet, you feel playful, even though relations with someone close to you might be strained.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Even though relations with co-workers might be cool, discussions about finances, money, debt and how to cover expenses at home will go well. You feel secure in practical ways even though everything isn’t perfect. But then, when is it ever?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

This is an excellent day to talk to others. Someone older or wiser might have something to contribute. (Why not stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before you?) Meanwhile, romance, as well as relations with kids, might be strained. Tender patience is key.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

It might be in your best interests to listen to the advice of parents, bosses, teachers or the police, because it could benefit you. In fact, it might benefit your job as well as your earnings now or in the future. Admittedly, relations with a family member or parent might be strained.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Social outings, time spent with kids and romantic get-togethers can be enjoyable. You might learn something valuable and helpful. Don’t let a conversation with someone older ruin your day or shake your self-confidence. This is your day.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Although you might have financial worries or feel pinched in the money department (join the club — we number millions), family relations are warm. In fact, you might be encouraged by the offer of help, in practical or monetary terms, that can come your way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

The day is a mixed bag. You’ll enjoy talking to others, especially siblings, relatives and neighbours. Groups will be supportive. However, you might feel disappointed or unloved in a close relationship — with a partner or marriage. This might be the culmination of something that started 14 years ago.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is an excellent day for financial decisions and discussions with bosses and authority figures about your job or even your health. Someone behind the scenes might be critical. As Katie Couric said, “You can’t please everyone — and you can’t make everyone like you.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The moon is in your sign dancing with your ruler, lucky Jupiter, as well as stern Saturn. In a curious way, this boosts your confidence, while at the same time makes you cautious and practical. Don’t worry if things are strained with a friend or member of a group. It happens.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Because relations with a parent, boss or someone in authority might be strained, your impulse might be to pull back and hide somewhere — preferably with some food that’s a wonderful guilty pleasure. I think this is a good idea. If it’s raining outside — seek shelter.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Friendships are warm and supportive. Some are upbeat and jubilant; others are steady, practical and beneficial. Enjoy making plans and goals with someone. Unfortunately, romance with someone “different” or far away might be discouraging. (This might be temporary.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Many issues related to your job or work are rewarding right now. In fact, many of you are in a new position or feeling fulfilment from your work, which is a wonderful thing. This is also apparent to others as well. Nevertheless, funds from a different source might be disappointing. It is what it is.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Carrie-Anne Moss (1967) shares your birthday. You’re resourceful, pragmatic and imaginative. You are also realistic and driven to achieve your goals. This is the perfect year to kick back and relax. Enjoy socializing and relating to others. Let your guard down and loosen up a bit! Old friends might reappear to rekindle relationships.

Ready to crack over late-night ‘snacks’

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My new love has a seriously annoying habit that could break us up now that we’re actually living together.

I’m not getting much sleep, and it has nothing to do with having too much sex!Every night at about 2 a.m., my man gets up and goes to the fridge, makes a giant sandwich and pours a huge glass of apple juice, then sits there scarfing it down, with music on for a bit of entertainment. This often wakes me up, and when I complain he just invites me to join him “for a bite.”

Really? The last thing I need is to eat a fourth meal of the day in the middle of the night. He says it’s an old habit from his football days, when he was so hungry all the time and he still enjoys it. He says he isn’t about to change that for me, so, tough luck.

It’s a big problem as I can’t just fall back to sleep after he rattles around the kitchen and then comes back and jumps back into bed with me.

Sisters among 137 to begin doctor journey at U of M

Not everyone enters medical school with a built-in study buddy.

Sisters Maya and Dana Jalal joined 135 of their classmates to don white coats and mark the beginning of their journey through the University of Manitoba’s Max Rady College of Medicine Wednesday morning.

Maya, 22, and Dana, 21, were accepted into medical school at the same time.

“Thankfully, we both got accepted in the same area, same time. So we decided we’d rather go together than apart,” Maya said. “It’ll be nice seeing different perspectives during our studies. We are siblings, but we each have our own perspectives, our own lived experiences.”

911 action essential

The latest revelations about repeated 911 service outages in Manitoba should alarm every Manitoban. When someone dials 911, they should never have to wonder whether their call will actually reach an emergency operator. Lives can depend on those few seconds.

Manitobans need answers — and, more importantly, action.

Bell Canada says its existing systems and contingency plans are designed to protect 911 service, while pointing to the transition to next-generation 911 technology by 2027 as the long-term solution.

MOON ALERT: After 3:45 a.m. today there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Sagittarius.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You might be interested in unusual, powerful ideas. They might be mystical and idealistic. They might even be related to improving yourself somehow. Nevertheless, be aware this is also a mildly accident-prone day for you. Pay attention to everything you say and do.

Adding emergency doctors, nurses and support staff is great, but it won’t break the wait-time logjam

Adding emergency doctors, nurses and support staff is great, but it won’t break the wait-time logjam

Dan Lett 5 minute read Wednesday, Aug. 19, 2026

It was the kind of announcement that should have brought universal applause.

Instead, on Tuesday, when Premier Wab Kinew recently announced his government had recruited more than 4,700 net new health-care professionals and support workers, the proclamation was met with quite a few rolling eyes.

Unions representing health-care staff reacted more with disdain than gratitude. The Manitoba Nurses Union continued its inexplicable war of attrition with the Kinew government, with president Darlene Jackson openly questioning the veracity of the premier’s math.

Why all the grumpiness? Jason Linklater, president of the Manitoba Association of Health Care Professionals, probably said it best. “The metric that matters is whether Manitobans wait less time for care tomorrow than they did yesterday,” he said.

Old-fashioned news

I scrolled through the comment section of the online news story, my eyes darting through differing opinions until I landed on one that caught my attention. I felt my shoulders tense and my breath quicken as I read the fiery thoughts of a stranger.

Surely, there must be a better way to read the news?

I thought back to the ’90s. Every morning, my mother would open the front door to retrieve the Winnipeg Free Press. I would jump at the Arts section until I found the comics and giggle while I ate my cereal. My parents absorbed the news while getting ready for their day, and eventually the newspaper found its way to the top of the paper pile in the garage. The next morning, the cycle would repeat itself.
