MOON ALERT: After 12:15 a.m., there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The moon is in Capricorn.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is a tricky day. Don’t be too ambitious. It’s totally OK to kick back and relax. But be aware that communications with parents and authority figures might be confused, vague or subject to misunderstandings. Nevertheless, romance is sweet and cosy!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Avoid controversial subjects and important discussions about politics, religious issues and travel because this will get you nowhere. Too much confusion! However, you might be interested in a new relationship with someone “different.” In fact, new love can blossom.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

This is a poor day for financial discussions or working out how to share something with a friend or group because wishful thinking will outweigh logic and rational analysis. Too tricky! However, a work-related romance might be dreamy and promising.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Be careful in discussions with parents, bosses, spouses, partners and close friends because distorted views and misunderstandings are classic. Beware of overdoing it with alcohol or drugs. It’s a tricky day, however, romance as well as relations with kids are reassuring.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Work-related relationships will be supportive, perhaps even romantic. However, discussions about foreign nations or issues related to travel, politics and religion will very likely be confusing and possibly distorted. You won’t know what to believe. Tread carefully. Some people are just off-base.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a lovely day for romance, playful outings, socializing, sporting events and fun activities with kids. However, be careful if dealing with joint expenses, shared property, or the wealth and resources of others. Something is off or incorrect. Assume nothing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’re in a dreamy state of mind which can promote fantasy over reality. This is why it’s a poor day for important decisions about family issues or partnerships. Nevertheless, something to do with your finances or purchases will please you. Keep your receipts — and the box.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is basically a relaxed, dreamy day. Don’t give yourself an ambitious agenda. However, be careful of overdoing it with booze or drugs or something that can confuse you because this is possible. (Even food poisoning.) Fortunately, relations with siblings, relatives and neighbours are cosy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

In many ways, this is a laid-back, feel-good day! However, there might be confusion or incorrect assumptions in romantic relationships as well as in dealing with social situations or kids’ activities. Double-check all your details. Make sure you’re on the same page.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The moon is in your sign, which gives you a slight advantage over others. In fact, relations with friends and groups will be warm and supportive. However, be careful with family discussions because this is where confusion might trip you up. Do your best to be clear with everyone.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Take it easy. Relations with bosses, parents and authority figures are warm and supportive. People are happy to see you. Nevertheless, if you feel a sense of confusion or that something fishy is going on — it probably is. That’s because this is a dreamy, fuzzy day for many people.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Be careful about financial agreements between friends and groups. Double-check details for errors or incorrect assumptions, because people can be sloppy in their thinking about money. However, enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds. Grab every opportunity to travel or learn something new, because this will delight you.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Jeremy Irons (1948) shares your birthday. You are sensual, and you admire beauty. You’re also lively, enthusiastic and interested in new experiences. This is a slower-paced year. Take time to rejuvenate your energy. Focus on business and personal relationships and try to hang out with people who are kind, helpful and have your back.

Biden says 'we have to act' after Texas school shooting

Zeke Miller And Chris Megerian, The Associated Press 7 minute read Tuesday, May. 24, 2022

WASHINGTON (AP) — Lamenting a uniquely American tragedy, an anguished and angry President Joe Biden delivered an urgent call for new restrictions on firearms Tuesday night after a gunman shot and killed 19 children at a Texas elementary school.

Biden spoke from the White House barely an hour after returning from a five-day trip to Asia that was bracketed by mass shootings in the U.S. He pleaded for action to address gun violence after years of failure — and bitterly blamed firearm manufacturers and their supporters for blocking legislation in Washington.

'“When in God’s name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby?" Biden said with emotion. “Why are we willing to live with this carnage? Why do we keep letting this happen?"

With first lady Jill Biden standing by his side in the Roosevelt Room, the president, who has suffered the loss of two of his own children, though not to gun violence, spoke in visceral terms about the grief of the loved ones of the victims and the pain that will endure for the students who survived.

Literary imprint led by Winnipeg author Wong

Ben Sigurdson 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

A new imprint from Arsenal Pulp Press is being spearheaded by Winnipeg author and professor Lindsay Wong (Villain Hitting for Vicious Little Nobodies).

The aim of the 9-Tailed Fox imprint is to publish “literary adult fiction and non-fiction titles by BIPOC Canadian writers that are innovative and unconventional in form and content,” according to a Sept. 4 news release. The first book to be released as a 9-Tailed Fox title will be Phoenix Poon’s coming-of-age novel Fox Fox Flux, which will be published in fall 2027.

Near-future U.S. the setting for surreal dual-world storyline

Reviewed by Morley Walker 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

It’s not every day you encounter a seriously intended literary novel that attempts to dramatize a mind-bending physics theory like quantum entanglement.

But then the B.C.-born-and-raised Emily St. John Mandel is not your everyday Canadian literary writer.

In her late 40s, she has lived in the U.S. for her entire writing career. She is best known for her 2014 dystopian novel Station Eleven, about a Shakespearean acting troupe navigating a pandemic-ravaged America.

Her new outing, her seventh, Exit Party, shares DNA with detective and sci-fi genres more than with conventional literary fiction.

A distant island and a European border

Editorial 4 minute read Thursday, Sep. 17, 2026

It’s at roughly 80°49′35″ North latitude and 66°27′30″West longitude.

Or, you might also know it as being in the Kennedy Channel of the Nares Strait in the high Arctic.

It’s Hans Island, an island that’s split between the Kingdom of Denmark and Canada.

The border was a bone of contention between the two nations for years, but not one that sired threats of annexation. Each simply claimed it as their own.

Winnipeg’s failing grade starting point, not final word: CFIB

Aaron Epp 4 minute read Wednesday, Sep. 16, 2026

Winnipeg is one of nearly 40 municipalities to receive a failing grade from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business in the organization’s inaugural “municipal report card.”

The Manitoba capital ranked 33rd amongst the 66 municipalities assessed, earning an F, with an overall score of 4.84 out of 10.

The report, which the CFIB released on Tuesday, evaluated cost burden, regulatory burden and small-business friendliness using 11 indicators and data collected up to Dec. 31, 2025.

Winnipeg’s grade is a starting point and not the final word, said Brianna Solberg, CFIB’s director for the Prairies and northern Canada.

Dynacare must treat workers fairly: health minister

Carol Sanders 4 minute read Wednesday, Sep. 16, 2026

Manitoba’s health minister defended the government’s contract with Dynacare, saying the for-profit company is expected to treat its workers fairly — but wouldn’t say if that expectation was spelled out in the deal.

The 350 private lab workers, who are represented by the Manitoba Association of Health Care Professionals, have been without a contract since March 31 and went on strike on Sept. 8.

The Manitoba Labour Board ordered them back to work and they returned to the job one day later.

Health Minister Uzoma Asagwara was asked Wednesday about the lack of an essential services agreement and why the government didn’t intervene in March, knowing that a labour dispute could interrupt community lab services.
