ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Feelings of obsession might grip you when dealing with shared property, banking issues or something to do with taxes or inheritances. Your strong opinions might make it difficult to co-operate with others or agree to anything. Be aware of this.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

This is a playful time for you! It’s also a productive time at work because you have clever ideas not only about getting things done, but also about improving your health. Now however, strong feelings might arise in your dealings with partners, spouses and close friends. Look for the highest good.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Issues related to your job, health or even a pet will be important to you. Whatever it is, you’re not in the mood to compromise. You have very specific ideas and specific wants. Your idealism is aroused and very likely, co-workers will support you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

This is a passionate day for you because romance is simultaneously confusing and impossibly idealistic. Something important to you makes it hard for you to let go or be open to change. Certainly, romance will be compelling! These strong feelings might also apply to dealing with children.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Issues related to family or something to do with your home might be intense. You are a sign with strong attachment to your home because your home is your castle. This could involve dealing with someone’s values that differ from yours.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

With the sun in your sign right now you’re empowered, which is a fortunate thing because you’re determined to achieve a particular goal. Quite likely, you’ll be able to sweet-talk your way into anything. (You might be interested in an unusual health approach.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’ll have no trouble expressing your views with Mercury in your sign. You might be interested in buying something you want very much? Or conversely, it might be related to a way to earn money that strongly appeals? Get your facts.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Both the moon and fair Venus are in your sign influenced by Pluto, which can give you intense feelings! You might even feel obsessed about something. Perhaps you want to transform where you live or make things better in a more idealistic or dreamy way?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Very likely, your idealism is aroused. Meanwhile, some of you might be almost paralyzed by a secret love affair? This is a strong time for you and you are admired. Rally your troops if you’re having disputes about inheritances or shared property.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

An exchange with a friend or member of a group will be intense because both parties seem to know what they want. (You definitely do.) Fortunately, you have the advantage now if you need to talk to bosses and authority figures because they will listen to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Tread carefully with authority figures. Listen to what others say and don’t be too quick to challenge them because you want to do things your way. Diplomacy is required. Fortunately, others will admire your work ethic right now because you’re giving your job everything you’ve got.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Steer clear of controversial discussions because ego battles will quickly arise simply because people are passionate and entrenched in their views. Therefore, shelve these discussions for another day. Enjoy playful, athletic outings.

BRANDON — The Manitoba government is seeking to build a soybean crushing plant and is looking for investment to make it happen.

The proposed facility is one of several projects the NDP government pitched at the international investment summit in Toronto this week.

“We’re in a new world of opportunities that I think provinces or the country of Canada needs to apprehend,” Manitoba Agriculture Minister Ron Kostyshyn said Monday.

The MLA for Dauphin said soybeans were a “very popular discussion” during recent trade missions in certain parts of Asia.

Your patience could pay off in the long run

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My former girlfriend moved to Toronto at the start of April and then in mid-August married some idiot she met there — all in just under four months! It was a ridiculous move if you ask me.

I wished them luck in a sarcastic congratulatory email. She caught the dig, and wrote back, “What’s your problem? You never asked me to marry you when I was in Manitoba!”

I guess she has a point, but I’m not one to rush into things. That’s how my parents did it as well— they probably got married way too soon and didn’t get along very well afterwards, which ended up in divorce.

Also, a wedding is a big expense these days — too much for me, unless I was to take out a bank loan. The sad thing is I still love this woman and really miss her. I’d marry her if she ever came free again, no matter what it cost!

Winnipeg, economic diversity and risks from AI

Al Vigier 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

I run a company that builds software to read documents and fill out forms. When I look at Winnipeg, I see a lot of potential customers. I also think the city should be asking some fairly uncomfortable questions about what companies like mine are selling.

Winnipeg has spent decades building an economy that does not depend on any one industry. Insurance, agriculture, transportation, aerospace, manufacturing, government, health care. That mix has served it well. A bad year for one employer does not necessarily become a bad year for the whole city.

But there is another way to look at that economy: what people actually do when they arrive at work.

Great-West Lifeco, Wawanesa, IGM Financial and Manitoba Public Insurance are all headquartered in Winnipeg. There are provincial departments, Shared Health and businesses handling the freight moving through CentrePort. Their purposes are different. A surprising amount of their paperwork follows the same routine.

Wind and batteries the best bet

Wind and batteries the best bet

James Wilt 5 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

For years, Manitoba Hydro has claimed that we can’t rely on wind turbines during multi-day or even multi-week cold snaps. Although turbines can be equipped with cold-weather packages to operate down to –30 C, as at the St. Leon and St. Joseph wind farms, Hydro routinely warns of the possibility of a lengthy winter wind drought at the same time as electricity use peaks due to high heating demand.

This concern is largely why Hydro is pushing to build a 750 MW fossil gas-fired power plant in Brandon, rather than building more wind farms.

But new analysis by Alexander Hogeveen Rutter, a former energy modeller for Manitoba Hydro, shows that wind-generation reliability well exceeds assumptions and that, if combined with battery energy storage, it could meet even the most bullish load growth forecasts. (These findings were presented to the Public Utilities Board on Aug. 31, and the full report can be found on Climate Action Team Manitoba’s website.)

Hydro’s low estimate of wind generation stems from its erroneous assumption that all new wind farms will be built in the same locations as Manitoba’s two existing wind farms (St. Leon and St. Joseph). Because these two wind farms are only 100 kilometres apart, they have highly correlated wind speeds; when wind conditions are low at one site, they likely are at the other as well. This is not how new wind farms will be built in Manitoba. Instead, they will be located in different areas and use much taller turbines with higher generation potential than the existing wind farms.

The deal took effect on May 29. No terms were disclosed.

The transaction does not include EQ3 or its Canadian manufacturing operations, which will continue to operate independently under separate ownership, leadership and management.

Try growing Salvia and Veronica speedwell in your garden

Colleen Zacharias 6 minute read Saturday, Jun. 27, 2026

Salvia and Veronica speedwell are two of the most popular garden plants.

Both include varieties that produce dense, upright spikes of tiny purple or blue flowers and come in a range of colours and forms. Gardeners frequently confuse Salvia and Veronica, but there are distinct differences between the two.

Salvia, which is a member of the Lamiaceae family, has highly aromatic leaves, square stems and tubular two-lipped flowers. Salvia is also a significantly larger and more diverse genus than Veronica, with hundreds of different species of annuals and perennials.

Veronica, formerly classified in Scrophulariaceae, is in the plantain family, Plantaginaceae. The leaves and flowers of Veronica are not known for fragrance. The stems are characteristically round, and the flowers are star-like with four spreading lobes that fuse at the base.
