ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Don’t expect much co-operation from partners, spouses and close friends. This is why you might feel cut off from others or a bit lonely. There’s the sense a gulf exists between you and everyone else. But this is temporary. Courage!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

If you’re working or dealing with health issues or your pet, you might encounter obstacles. Co-operation might not be forthcoming. If this is the case, it’s par for the course. Relax. Don’t make a big deal about things. Act later in the week.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

This is a tough day for social situations, especially romantic outings or connections with intimate partners. This includes sporting events and dealing with kids as well. Your best bet is to go along to get along and make as few waves as possible.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Your confidence might be low because you feel overwhelmed by authority figures in your family and private world. Fortunately, the moon is in your sign giving you a slight advantage. Furthermore, social outings will please you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

It might seem whatever you try to do meets with obstacles or objections from someone. (Is there no justice?) Keep your wits about you and pay attention while driving, jogging, walking and talking to others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Financial issues might be stressful. Whatever it is you’re trying to do, whether it’s earning money or spending it, it seems something will trip you up or make things more difficult. Maybe it’s time to take a moment and think about balancing your needs and obligations?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

It’s important to get along with others because you value partnerships and close relationships. This is why the day is challenging. No matter what you do, you might feel cut off from someone or misunderstood. Things will be better next week. Relax.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

It’s a good thing fair Venus is in your sign smoothing your communication style and making it easier for you to be patient, because issues related to your job, health or a pet are tough! It’s as if others are trying to test your patience. Easy does it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Go gently, because relations with friends, groups and even your kids are challenging. Take a step back and give the situation some breathing room. Don’t force your ideas on anyone. Listen to what they say and have faith things will be resolved in the coming week.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This not the day to question parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs or the police. In fact, you might want to give authority figures a wide berth to avoid conflict or confrontations. Obviously, this is not the day to ask for permission or approval. It is what it is.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You will need all your diplomatic skills to avoid arguments with siblings, relatives and neighbours, because people are opinionated. Not only might someone disagree with you, they might want to block what it is you want to do. (No fair!)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a poor day to reach a consensus about financial matters because people refuse to agree to anything. In fact, they’ll be quick to tell you why you can’t do something. Fortunately, your ability to work hard will stand you in good stead.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Susan Sarandon (1946) shares your birthday. You’re gregarious and at ease with yourself. You’re levelheaded, relaxed and ambitious. This is a year of service for you, perhaps to family. Take care of yourself so you can be a resource for those who turn to you for comfort, guidance and courage. Time for a makeover?

A morning in the life …

My very first lesson does not start when I walk into that lecture hall, oh no — it starts long before. It begins when I walk to my car, check the estimated arrival time to the University of Manitoba and hope that Winnipeg traffic agrees with it.

A drive that appears completely manageable changes almost immediately when I’m greeted by a tsunami of orange pylons and a line of cars that appears to go on forever. Traffic moves by the inch, lanes magically disappear and the detour I took yesterday now has a detour of its own. These factors make me do a calculation that I have become all too familiar with. How late can I arrive and still find parking, run to my class across campus and get to class with enough time left to make it worth it?

I have grown used to people saying, “Why not just leave earlier?” I do. But when I’m already leaving for my 8:30 a.m. class at 7 a.m., there’s only so much I can do. This drive that some would think is relaxing is one that feels like an assignment that I didn’t know I had to complete and is due at 8:30 a.m.

Ottawa commits $8.1 million for downtown Y redevelopment

Kelly-Anne Riess 2 minute read Monday, Sep. 28, 2026

The federal government is backing a major redevelopment of Winnipeg’s Downtown Y that will expand community programs and update the century-old Vaughan Street building.

On Monday, Ottawa committed $8.1 million toward the Y’s plans to expand newcomer and mental-health programs.

The project will also upgrade elevators, change rooms, aquatics and fitness areas and energy systems. Construction is expected to begin in October, according to the Y’s website.

The YMCA-YWCA is contributing $3.5 million to the project.

Manitoba marks end of sending simple workplace problems to doctor’s office

Manitoba marks end of sending simple workplace problems to doctor’s office

Tory McNally 7 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

There are some changes in the workplace that make you think: “Well, it’s about time.”

This is one of them.

Starting Oct. 1, Manitoba changed the rules around sick notes. I think it is going to be a wonderful change — not just for doctors and patients, but for employers, employees and the way we think about accountability at work.

The change comes from Bill 11, the Employment Standards Code Amendment Act (Sick Notes for Employee Absences), which received royal assent on June 1 and came into force Thursday. Under the new rules, employers generally cannot require a sick note for an illness or injury unless the employee is away for more than one week or has been absent because of illness or injury for more than 10 scheduled workdays in the calendar year.

Transit driver stabbed with syringe by passenger

Tyler Searle 3 minute read Wednesday, Aug. 5, 2026

A Winnipeg Transit driver is recovering in hospital after a passenger stabbed him in the leg with a syringe while riding the bus early Wednesday, the Amalgamated Transit Union says.

The union said the incident occurred shortly before 1 a.m. while the operator was stopped in the northbound lanes of Isabel Street, near William Avenue. A female passenger reached around the driver’s safety shield and stabbed the driver twice before getting off the bus.

The driver was taken to the Seven Oaks Hospital in stable condition, where he is undergoing treatment and further testing, union president James Van Gerwin said in an interview.

“We spoke to the member. He is doing OK, but he is still in the hospital and he is scared — as anybody would be,” Van Gerwin said.

Broadening prediction-market gambling a bad idea

Broadening prediction-market gambling a bad idea

Editorial 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

Let’s make a prediction: sooner or later, when Canadian governments find a way to take their own cut of the action, prediction-contract gambling on everything from sports to entertainment to political decisions is going to come to Canada.

And that’s a horrible, dangerous, pernicious idea.

Unless you have particular access to information — either inside information or strategic information based on skills or education — you’re not likely to make money at it. In fact, structurally, you’re likely to lose. In prediction markets, you basically pay an amount, plus fees from the company involved, to bet on whether something will or will not happen within a certain time frame. The amount you pay for your contract depends on how other people are also betting.

As Wealthsimple describes it, “You buy whichever side you think is right. Prices move with demand, so if the market leans towards one outcome, the more that side costs. If a lot of people are backing the TSX to finish above 38,000, yes gets more expensive and no gets cheaper.”

Your fall gardening checklist

Your fall gardening checklist

Colleen Zacharias 6 minute read Saturday, Sep. 12, 2026

September is as pivotal a time for the garden and landscape as early spring.

Admittedly, it feels different. Spring is all about anticipation and the excitement of sweeping away winter and transforming the garden. But autumn presents opportunities as well.

The weather this year has been a mixed bag that has meant misery for some and joy for others. Closing the garden for the season may mean a greater cleanup burden if recent storms caused fallen trees, broken branches or damage to your property.

But with predictions for a milder-than-normal winter by Environment and Climate Change Canada and other meteorologists, it’s important to prepare the garden. Milder temperatures in winter can mean less snow cover, and less snow cover can lead to drier conditions next spring. In addition, milder conditions do not exclude the possibility of extreme cold snaps that, without the benefit of a deep snowpack, can be a killer for plants.
