TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You’ll find it easy to apply yourself with enthusiasm to whatever you have to do in the next four weeks because you’ll be motivated to accomplish a lot in the most efficient, effective way possible. You’re high-viz — people notice you. Be aware of this.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Lucky you! The next four weeks will be fun-loving and playful! Romance, fun activities with kids, sporting events, the arts and the entertainment world will appeal. Plan on socializing more. Relations with co-workers will be warmer. Do something different!

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Your focus on home, family and a parent will increase in the next four weeks. Family discussions as well as home repairs will likely be on the menu. Fortunately, romance and fun diversions are the specials.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Expect the pace of your days to accelerate in the next four weeks because you have places to go, things to do and people to see. Many of you will read, write and study more than usual as well. Discussions will be lively, especially because entertaining at home will please you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

“Show me the money!” This will be your mantra for the next four weeks. Fortunately, many of you will have excellent moneymaking ideas. You can also use this focus to organize your possessions and figure out what you own. Clean out drawers and closets. (You’ll love yourself for this later.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

The sun will be in your sign for the next four weeks giving you a chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. This is a fortunate thing for you. It happens only once a year. It will also attract favourable situations and important people to you. Make the most of this!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Fair Venus is in your sign now, which improves your style of relating with everyone. This is also an excellent time for you to buy wardrobe items because you will like what you see in the mirror. The next four weeks are a particularly good time for you to define goals for your coming year ahead (birthday to birthday).

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your popularity will increase in the next four weeks, especially with younger people. Enjoy these interactions. Some of you might be in a position to teach or learn. Do your homework in case you have to face disputes about inheritances, insurance issues and shared property.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

For the next four weeks, the sun will be at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight. This means people will admire you, especially authority figures, even if you don’t do anything different. (Go figure.) Accept increased responsibilities or promotions, because you will shine!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You want to travel or do something to broaden your horizons in the next four weeks. If you can’t travel, then be a tourist in your own city. Sign up for a course. Learn something new. Explore opportunities in publishing, medicine and the law.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

The next few weeks are a mixed bag for you. Travel will appeal along with further education. Social outings and competitive sports are also in the picture. Nevertheless, you will focus seriously on shared property, taxes, debt and inheritances.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Billie Piper (1982) shares your birthday. You’re clever, innovative and attracted to progressive ideas. You have a thirst for stimulation. This year is about exciting changes and increased personal freedom. Stay flexible. Let go of whatever is impeding your growth. Seek out new opportunities and be ready to act fast. It’s time to expand your horizons!

Who will win? Most voters haven’t decided yet

Editorial 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

Just over a month before Winnipeg voters choose their next mayor, the most striking number in the latest polling isn’t Scott Gillingham’s lead.

It’s the 51 per cent of voters who still haven’t decided who they’re going to vote for.

That is an enormous chunk of the electorate to have sitting on the sidelines this late in a municipal campaign. And while it may make the current standings look more uncertain than they otherwise would, it shouldn’t come as a complete surprise.

Winnipeg municipal elections have not been models of voter engagement in recent years. Turnout has been falling — from 50 per cent in 2014 to 42 per cent in 2018 and just 37.5 per cent in 2022.

Bisons look to bounce back against Dinos at Murray Field

Joshua Frey-Sam 6 minute read Wednesday, Sep. 16, 2026

Nathan Udoh has been around long enough to know how quickly things can change in the Canada West conference.

The fifth-year Manitoba Bisons receiver is one of the oldest players in a youthful locker room that is experiencing the ebbs and flows of a U Sports season for the first time, and to say his experience if being leaned on would be an understatement.

“I try to lean on that and help guys who haven’t been in these situations just to keep their heads and how hard you have to play,” Udoh said Wednesday. “I think that’s the biggest thing that there is no snap that you take off, and playing with that intensity is really where it starts.”

The Bisons have already endured a roller-coaster two games into the season. After shocking the country by steamrolling the reigning conference champion Saskatchewan Huskies 40-22 in their season-opener, the Bisons fell back to earth in a 22-8 road loss to the Regina Rams last weekend.

You are not alone

Recent reports involving a Winnipeg firefighter with a history of criminal harassment and protection order violations, and a Winnipeg police officer charged in a physical and sexual intimate partner violence assault investigation, should prompt a broader conversation about accountability when allegations of gender-based violence involve individuals in positions of public trust.

I wrote a letter to the editor to the Free Press that was published Aug. 4 about the WFPS case, and I believe those comments are relevant to this moment as well.

Rather than reiterate those points, I would like to address those impacted by gender-based violence.

Province announces free daycare for low-income families

Nicole Buffie 3 minute read Wednesday, Sep. 2, 2026

Eligible parents will have their child-care fees waived come Sept. 13.

The province announced Wednesday child care would be free for about 4,100 children from 3,000 families as part of a budget commitment to eliminate the $2-per-day fee for low-income families.

“This announcement that we’re making here today is going to be hugely, hugely impactful for the families that rely on this important, important service of child care,” Education and Early Childhood Learning Minister Tracy Schmidt said at a news conference at Panda Bear Day Care.

She said the program would save families between $520 and $2,600 per child per year.

From footnote to martyr: execution altered Scott’s place in history

From footnote to martyr: execution altered Scott’s place in history

Tom Brodbeck 5 minute read Friday, Feb. 14, 2020

When Thomas Scott was marched outside the walls of Upper Fort Garry and executed by firing squad, it forever changed how history would treat Louis Riel and the Red River Resistance. The killing of Scott, whether a misguided error by Riel or an unavoidable step to prevent further bloodshed, would turn out to be one of the most pivotal events of the resistance.

Only a month after the Irish-born Canadian was condemned to death in March 1870, Riel opponents in Ontario used Scott’s execution to whip up anti-Métis sentiment in an effort to sabotage negotiations between Ottawa and the Red River Settlement. It nearly worked. Two of three Red River delegates sent to Ottawa to negotiate the terms of Manitoba’s entry into confederation were arrested on arrival (but later released) for Scott’s death. At the same time, Prime Minister John A. Macdonald was under increasing political pressure to send military troops to quell the resistance in Red River, rather than engage in peaceful negotiations.

Scott’s death didn’t just complicate matters for the Red River delegates. It undermined their efforts to bargain with Ottawa.

Scott was tried and convicted by a “military council” on March 3 for rebelling against the provisional government and attacking a Métis guard at Upper Fort Garry, where he and other political prisoners were held. The trial wasn’t conducted under normal court rules, even by 1870 Red River standards. Scott had no defence counsel and wasn’t present for much of the proceedings, which were conducted in French (a language he didn’t understand). Riel, one of the chief witnesses in the case, had to act as translator. The military council was not unanimous in its decision to sentence Scott to death. Some felt the penalty was too harsh.
