MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions after 9 p.m. The moon is in Gemini.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Your mind is focused, giving you common sense and practical ideas. This is an excellent day to sign up for a course or learn something new. Don’t hesitate to listen to the advice of someone older or more experienced because after all, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

This is the perfect day for financial discussions or for making decisions about dealing with your possessions because you’re in a practical frame of mind. This means you’ll get things done. If shopping, you will buy long-lasting, practical items.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

The moon is in your sign dancing with Saturn, encouraging you to be careful in your approach to any work you do. You might prefer to be alone with your thoughts. You’ll also be thrifty. You might have to take care of someone.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Research will go well because you have a persistent mind and you won’t stop until you find what you’re looking for. (You’ll be like a dog with a bone.) Certainly, if you’re having important family discussions, you’ll do your homework.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

A discussion with a friend who is older or more experienced might be helpful for you. This is because your interaction will likely be supportive. However, it’s also possible you feel diminished in some way. Even lonely.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Like yesterday, once again you’re high-viz, which means people notice you more than usual. They see you as reliable, thrifty and careful. Someone might ask for your help. However, it’s also possible you will feel cut off from someone. If so, don’t worry. This is temporary.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is the day to study if you need to learn something important. It’s also the perfect time to wrap up a writing project or to work on a book or manuscript because your mind is willing to focus and persevere. Because you can pay attention to detail, you might choose to make intricate travel plans.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

If you have to discuss inheritances, taxes, debt or insurance issues — this is the day to do it because you’re in a practical frame of mind and you won’t overlook details. Furthermore, with Venus in your sign you will be charming and diplomatic. (You can’t lose.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Like yesterday, you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. (This is not a big deal. It simply means you have to be accommodating and flexible.) Children might be an increased responsibility. Step up to the plate and do what’s right.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a productive day for you — no question. Your mind is focused, disciplined and you’re ready to work. Whatever you do, you will do with care and thoughtfulness. This is good because you make a great impression on others now. (Perfect timing.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Act now if you need to have a serious discussion about the care and education of your kids because you have the patience to consider different options and the discipline to follow through on your ideas. You might also discuss sports or an important social occasion that requires special planning.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Family discussions will be practical and reasonable because you’re in the right frame of mind; but also, because you’re willing to work. You might see ways to get practical and financial support from a third-party, which will make a big difference.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actress Brie Larson (1989) shares your birthday. You’re focused, ambitious, disciplined and loyal. You have high ideals and innovative ideas. This is a wonderful year to socialize and enjoy life. Let your guard down and loosen up a bit. Have fun, but don’t lose sight of your goals. Old friends might reappear to rekindle relationships.

Being in the black, doesn’t mean being out of the woods

Being in the black, doesn’t mean being out of the woods

Tom Brodbeck 5 minute read Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2019

The Pallister government may be planning to balance the books in two years. But it doesn’t mean the province will stop borrowing and racking up debt even after it’s in the black. That’s something Premier Brian Pallister alluded to in a year-end press conference Tuesday.

The idea that government still has to borrow money to pay the bills, even with a balanced budget, may sound counterintuitive. But if you look a little deeper into how the province reports its finances, it’s easy to see how the province will still have to borrow money years after it officially balances the books.

That may be disappointing to those who thought a balanced budget — now expected in 2022 — might allow the province to loosen the purse strings. But the way government accounting works, eliminating the deficit doesn’t necessarily mean the province no longer has borrowing requirements.

“We’re not out of the woods yet,” Pallister said Tuesday when talking about the province’s financial status. “We have the highest debt per capita in Canada.”

Retirement has been a rocky road for Osmond

Retirement has been a rocky road for Osmond

Lori Ewing, The Canadian Press 5 minute read Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2020

TORONTO - For the better part of two decades, Kaetlyn Osmond knew exactly what she'd be doing every day. Her world and her schedule revolved around figure skating.

The 24-year-old announced her retirement last May, and hasn't competed since winning gold at the 2018 world championships. And while she's completely at peace with her decision to walk away when she did, the months since haven't been all smooth sailing.

"It was a big change," Osmond said Wednesday. "Not having the rink to go to every day — the rink was a safe spot for me — skating was my job, it was my hobby, it was all my friends, it was just a great place for me to be. And I knew exactly what my purpose was every single day.

"Losing that was a lot harder than I was expecting it to be. I didn't have a team of 15 people telling me where to be and what to do, I had to figure that out on my own. And it felt like I had to grow up really quickly."

A stealthy tax increase

Gage Haubrich 4 minute read Wednesday, Jul. 29, 2026

About $2,100. That’s how much Premier Wab Kinew’s bracket creep tax hike could cost your family by 2030, depending on how much you make.

Bracket creep is an income tax hike that happens when the government stops indexing tax brackets to inflation. That means that after getting a cost-of-living raise, taxpayers can be bumped into a new tax bracket and have their tax bill increased even though they can’t afford to buy more.

Think about it this way: A raise that only covers higher grocery prices isn’t a real raise. You’re not richer. Your cart costs the same. But the bigger number on your paycheque bumps you into a higher bracket. That means higher taxes on a paycheque that buys the exact same number of groceries as last year.

That’s why most provincial governments and the federal government adjust income tax brackets with inflation.
