ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You’ll be pleased at how much you accomplish. This is because your ruler Mars is boosting the sun while it is travelling through your house of employment. You’ll be the perfect example of Col. Saito’s motto: “Be happy in your work.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You can work in a productive way. Or you can use this same driving energy to explore sporting events, fun activities with kids, the arts, the entertainment world or the hospitality industry. Relations with partners are supportive.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You have lots of energy to take on home-improvement projects. You might also be more involved than usual with a parent. Relations with co-workers are wonderful. Accept someone’s help. A work-related romance might be percolating.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Enjoy a short trip. Take care of appointments and errands. Explore your ability to sell, market, talk or teach because these are all excellent choices for you. Oh yes — you’re bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. You’re active, confident and keen to express yourself. People will listen to you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You have strong moneymaking ideas, plus the energy to make money. You might do this in a public way or quietly behind the scenes. This is also an excellent day to entertain at home because relations with family members are loving.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a positive day. The sun is in your sign getting a boost from fiery Mars, while the moon is lined up with Venus in your house of communications. You’re in the right place, at the right time, saying the right thing to the right person. A winning day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might choose to play things low-key and work behind the scenes. Nevertheless, you’ll accomplish a lot. With Mercury in your sign, you’re keen to express your ideas to others. Shopping for beautiful things will appeal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The moon is lined up with fair Venus in your sign, which is a winning combination. You’re charming with everybody. This is why everyone wants to be in your company. (Your charisma will convince people to jump on your bandwagon.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You make a strong impression on everyone because the sun is at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight, while Mars amplifies this energy making you virtually shine in the eyes of others. Use this to your advantage.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Grab every chance to travel or do something to expand your horizons because you have a strong urge to do so. Enjoy learning through film, study or talking to people from different backgrounds. You’ll also get a kick out of the stimulation of a new place — anything different. (Romance with a friend might begin.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Discussions about shared property, taxes, debt and insurance issues will be lively. And because both the moon and Venus are lined up at the top of your chart, not only will you be high-viz, but very likely, these discussions will go in your favour. And everyone will know it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might attract someone to you who is forthright and direct. Because another influence encourages romance with someone “different,” could this signal some kind of attraction for you? However, it will also encourage fun socializing and physical activity.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Sam Neill (1947-2026) shared your birthday. You are steadfast, organized, efficient and energetic. You take charge quickly with a sharp eye. This is a year of service for you, perhaps to family. Take care of yourself so you can be a resource to those who turn to you for guidance, comfort and courage.

Canada overlooks scores of workers

Krista Carr and Jonathan Lai 4 minute read Wednesday, Jul. 22, 2026

Canada has a labour shortage and a labour surplus at the same time. Canada’s labour force shortages are no longer a temporary challenge. Across the country, “help wanted” signs are everywhere.

A report this spring by RBC Economics said the situation will be exacerbated by retirements and changes in immigration policy.

Employers across the country say they can’t find enough workers. There is a solution, however, that continues to be overlooked. Roughly three-quarters of working-age Canadians with an intellectual disability or autism remain unemployed or underemployed despite being ready, willing and able to work. These two realities should not exist side by side.

For decades, many employers have overlooked this talented and motivated group of workers, often due to misconceptions about workplace accommodations or assumptions about productivity. The result is a labour market that is leaving approximately 500,000 capable individuals on the sidelines while businesses simultaneously report difficulty finding reliable employees.

Beware invasive, ‘frightening’ waterhemp

Beware invasive, ‘frightening’ waterhemp

Laura Rance-Unger 4 minute read Saturday, Aug. 29, 2026

There’s a threat lurking on the edge of Manitoba farmers’ fields this fall that’s even scarier than the escalating trade war with their biggest customer.

Provincial extension advisers are warning farmers to watch for a weed known as “tall waterhemp,” which, true to its name, may already be towering above ready-to-harvest crops.

Those wispy tentacles waving in the breeze look pretty innocuous from a distance. But this highly invasive member of the pigweed family produces hundreds of thousands of seeds that are just itching for dispersal through farmers’ combines and across their fields.

Each of those tiny seeds — one small pill container filled halfway holds 44,000 — can produce plants with stems the width of saplings and heights of two to five metres. One or two plants can quickly turn into a patch. If waterhemp takes over a field, it can choke out the growing crop and cut yields by more than 90 per cent.

Transit troubles and passes

Re: Growing pains? Maybe, but it’s worth it, Think Tank, Sept. 10.

Worth it for who? Our transit system has been undergoing growing pains for the past year, ever since city staff completely messed up the system with their redesign.

The net result of those changes is reduced ridership, leading to a projected deficit of $18 million in revenues this year (not including the capital costs of those changes). Add that to the annual $126-million subsidy to operate Winnipeg Transit and that’s $144 million being paid annually by Winnipeg taxpayers.

Treating the disease we simply won’t insure

Rafiq Andani 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

There is a condition affecting tens of thousands of Canadians.

In 2024, one national measure estimated that almost 120,000 people had the condition. The estimate captures only part of the problem.

The same data show its chronic form becoming more common. In 2017, an estimated 28,900 people met the definition for its chronic form. By 2024, there were 36,058, an increase of almost 25 per cent.

This condition carries an unfortunate prognosis.

Why is Cuba embracing freer markets?

Why is Cuba embracing freer markets?

Peter McKenna 5 minute read Friday, Jul. 24, 2026

As long as Donald Trump is entangled in a war with Iran, Cuba is probably safe from being next on his hit list.

But if the mercurial U.S. president can somehow extricate himself from the Persian Gulf trap, then all bets are off. One thing is certain: Trump is not going to give up the idea of getting his greedy hands on the Caribbean island.

In response to Trump’s threats of military invasion, the beleaguered Cuban government is understandably in full panic mode. Right now, it is just trying desperately to keep its head above water as the situation on the ground in Cuba deteriorates further with each passing day.

Not all of the blame for the country’s current humanitarian crisis can be laid at the feet of the Trump White House. The Cuban political leadership deserves its fair share of blame for poor economic and financial management, for too much emphasis on expanding the tourism market, and for not enough attention on modernizing the electrical grid and attracting much-needed foreign investment.
