ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is a fantastic day to shmooz and romance is also favoured. In fact, this is most romantic day of the week. Intimate relationships will be affectionate and exciting. Enjoy socializing, sporting events and fun activities with kids. The arts are blessed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Many of you are excellent cooks, and it’s a wonderful day to entertain at home. (It will please you to make a partner, spouse or someone close to you happy.) Discussions about real estate, expanding your family or contemplating a vacation will appeal.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

This is a feel-good day. You’re in a positive frame of mind and ready to entertain big ideas because your confidence is strong. Colleagues at work might endorse your plans. (See moon alert.) Meanwhile, a work-related romance might be percolating on the back burner.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

This is a good money day for you. Jot down your moneymaking ideas but wait until tomorrow to act on them as there is a moon alert. Nevertheless, a moon alert is a creative time — just a poor day to spend money. This is a friendly, sociable day and great for romance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You’re out there flying your colours as the moon is lined up with lucky Jupiter in Leo. Plus, fiery Mars in your sign will put a spring in your step and boost your confidence. Family discussions will go well. In fact, you might want to entertain at home. Romance is blessed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your ability to charm others with your words is wonderful, which is why this is a great day for those in marketing, teaching and acting. However, because of the moon alert all day, restrict your spending to food and gas.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Enjoy your popularity because everyone wants to see your face. Interactions with friends, groups and organizations will be successful. However, because there’s a moon alert all day, don’t volunteer for anything. Wait until tomorrow.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You’re still high-viz, which means people notice you more than usual — and you look capable and affluent to everyone. You’re also charming and diplomatic. You might be approached to take on increased responsibilities; if so, wait until tomorrow to accept.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a fabulous day to travel because you want to get outta Dodge. Some of you might be dabbling in a secret love affair. It’s certainly a great day to shmooz and flirt. However, it’s a poor day to spend money except for food and gas. (Check moon alert.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Be careful with financial issues and decisions, especially regarding shared property, insurance issues, inheritances, taxes and debt, as there’s a moon alert all day. Be smart and postpone these decisions until tomorrow. Forewarned is forearmed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Great day to shmooz. Enjoy the company of friends, partners and spouses because you make such a great impression on everyone. It’s possible you’ll be asked for your advice about something. If so, wait until tomorrow to respond. See moon alert.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Work-related travel might be on the menu. Likewise, travel plans will intrigue you. Although you can be productive, be aware of the restrictions of the moon alert and postpone important decisions until tomorrow. You’ll be glad you did.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actress Elisabeth Shue (1963) shares your birthday. You have a real zest for living. You’re optimistic, enthusiastic and progressive. This year you will attain power and leadership. You will also reap the benefits and rewards for all your hard work. It’s a busy year. Expect kudos, awards, promotions and acknowledgement. Seize opportunities that arise.

Banning controversial songs is a tone-deaf solution

Jen Zoratti  10 minute read Friday, Dec. 7, 2018

Along with sipping egg nog and trimming trees, Canadians engaged in another reliable holiday tradition this week: debating whether or not Baby, It’s Cold Outside promotes date rape.

On Tuesday, three of the country’s major broadcasters — CBC, Rogers and Bell Media — announced they’d be putting the chill on the contentious duet, written by American songwriter Frank Loesser in 1944, and would not be playing it on their radio stations this year.

Several American radio stations have also put the song on their naughty lists, arguing it has no place in the #MeToo era. 

Through a modern lens, it’s not hard to see how some people might view this song as a woman being pressured into sex by a guy who won’t take no for an answer.

Report calls for schools to add more ‘sensory rooms’

Maggie Macintosh 6 minute read Wednesday, Jul. 15, 2026

Manitoba schools are being urged to set up more “sensory rooms” and use the spaces — which can feature mood lighting, flexible seating and fidget toys — to address growing concerns about student outbursts and related injuries.

A new report from the Manitoba Federation of Labour is renewing calls to better protect educational assistants, teachers and other public-sector employees.

One of its 10 recommendations, published on Monday, focuses on tackling overcrowding in community facilities and establishing “safe spaces in schools to respond to violence.”

“It’s become the norm: kids having meltdowns that require you have to evacuate the classroom,” said Jane Allison, an educational assistant in Winnipeg.

MISSISSAUGA, Ont. - The rink had always felt like home for Keegan Messing. But in the days and weeks after his brother's death, the Canadian figure skater struggled to find solace on the ice.

In a sport that requires steely nerves to reel off big jumps, and the ability to dig deep to push through searing pain, Messing had lost his will.

"It was the question of: why am I doing this?" Messing said. "In the grand scheme of life, it was: should I still do this? Can I still do this?"

Less than four months after his younger brother Paxon died in a motorcycle crash in Anchorage, Messing is aiming for his first national title at the Canadian figure skating championships, and a spot on the world championship team. He credits fellow Canadian skaters Nam Nguyen and Piper Gilles for getting him to the start gate.

Festival riffs off Main Street’s storied past

Melissa Martin 7 minute read Friday, Jun. 10, 2022

Fifty years later, Billy Joe Green can still remember one of the biggest breaks of his career. It was 1971, and his band was asked to become the house band at the Brunswick, an old Main Street hotel and bar.

People would line up around the block to see them, and for a while Green, who was barely out of his teens, could really feel as if he’d made it.

“That was like the high-end place to play for our people,” he says, with a nostalgic smile.

Oh, if the walls of the Main Street strip could talk, they would tell a million stories, and Green would be in a bunch of them. An Ojibwa man and member of Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, Green is one of Winnipeg’s most iconic blues guitarists; back then, he was jamming on the Main Street circuit, slinging out country and rock hits.

The Green Fog pays homage to the City by the Bay via Hitchcock's Vertigo

Randall King 5 minute read Wednesday, Jun. 6, 2018

The Green Fog is certainly an original film. But it is best approached with a thorough familiarity with Alfred Hitchcock’s classic 1958 thriller Vertigo.

In fact, it’s an absolute prerequisite.

Commissioned by San Francisco International Film Festival director Noah Cowan, it is a “celebration of San Francisco in cinema” that, in its own strange way, functions as a kind of remake of Vertigo, told obliquely with footage from an array of San Francisco-set movies and TV shows, including Bullitt, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, McMillan and Wife, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and The Streets of San Francisco.

“We were told to feature footage from any film or TV show ever shot in the Bay Area,” says director Guy Maddin (My Winnipeg, The Saddest Music in the World), who took the assignment in collaboration with fraternal partners Evan and Galen Johnson.

Whenever I’m asked with whom I’d love to dine, entertainer Robin Williams always tops my short list of three. Still.

It’s immaterial that we didn’t move in the same social circles. Or that our career paths never crossed, even though one of his many movies, The Big White, was partially shot in Winnipeg in 2005. Something about him — that hairy persona, those kind blue eyes, the “aw shucks” grin — had intrigued me since watching the debut of his Mork & Mindy TV sitcom in 1978. His off-the-wall goofiness simply sealed the deal.

Comedian Williams became movie-star Williams, and I bought every flick — the good, the not-so-good and the real stinkers. His raunchy standup recordings, often released between his movies, were just an added, adult-only bonus.

So I, like many, was gutted when, at age 63, Williams took his own life in 2014. I didn’t “get” it: how could an award-winning, funny guy, admired by so many for so long, get so beaten up inside that he’d off himself?
