MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions after 1:30 p.m. The moon is in Virgo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Even though your work routine might be interrupted, this is a productive day. Parents should be extra vigilant because this could be an accident-prone day for kids. Social plans might suddenly change. Athletes should be careful to avoid injuries.

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke turns 58 today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Parents should be vigilant to avoid accidents with their kids. You might impulsively socialize with someone or conversely, you might cancel plans. You’ll put out a lot of energy to tackle home improvements. (You might even surprise yourself.)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Stay light on your feet because your daily routine might change. A small appliance might break down, a minor outage could occur or someone surprising might appear at your door. You’re full of clever ideas. (Guard against accidents.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is potentially an accident-prone day. Keep an eye on your possessions and money to avoid loss, theft or damage. (Something unexpected.) Guard against impulse purchases, especially during the moon alert.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You’re restless and impatient because you want new thrills and chills. This is why you might be impulsive and do whatever you can to break free of your daily routine. Guard against impulse spending, which is likely. Be aware of the restrictions of the moon alert.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You’re eager for something fresh and different. You want to see new places and meet new faces. You certainly want to learn new things. Fortunately, with both Mercury and Venus in your house of communications, you’ll charm everyone you meet.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a restless day for you. However, you’re not the only one, because it’s very likely a friend or member of a group will do something to catch you off-guard. Yes, it’s that kinda day — unpredictable. (Your inner rebel wants to break free.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be aware that you might be surprised by authority figures. Forewarned is forearmed. Likewise, a friend or member of a group might surprise you as well, or catch you off-guard in some way. Or perhaps, you will meet someone who is unusual.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Authority figures are unpredictable. Plans related to travel, higher education, publishing, medicine and the law might suddenly change. Or you might bulldoze your way into a situation that matters to you. That’s because it’s easy to be impatient with restrictions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Keep an eye on issues related to banking, inheritances, shared property, taxes and debt because something unexpected might occur. You’re certainly willing to stand up for your rights and defend your best interests. Travel is unpredictable. Friendships are cosy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You might attract someone to you who is suddenly aggressive or in-your-face. This might relate to an unexpected situation related to shared expenses, jointly held property or inheritances. It might even relate to taxes or debt. Be aware that your relations with authority figures are smooth and supportive. Great.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your work routine might be interrupted. Likewise, relations with partners and close friends are also subject to change and surprises. This is because people feel impulsive. You want to break free of any restrictions. Personally, you would love to travel for pleasure and do anything for a change of scenery. (Well, not anything.)

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Musician Thom Yorke (1968) shares your birthday. You are engaging, determined and assertive. You have strong beliefs and reactions. This is the final year of a nine-year cycle for you. Take inventory of your life. Let go of people, places and things that have held you back. Do some internal and external housecleaning. Commune with nature.

Michael Douglas comes to terms with fears, fame, father

Hillel Italie 6 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

NEW YORK — Michael Douglas, the award-winning actor and producer, recently turned 82. He is a cancer survivor, a recovered addict, a married man, the father and son of actors.

He is also an author, who begins his memoir with a message of thanks to his family — past and present and future — for the “sense of immortality.”

“Many times my father was asked, ‘Kirk, are you jealous of your son?’” he said during a recent interview at a Manhattan hotel, referring to his late father, fellow actor and sometime combatant Kirk Douglas.

“And he said, ‘Jealous?’ This is a sense of immortality, a continuity of generations.’”

Messing credits teammates for support

Lori Ewing, The Canadian Press 6 minute read Friday, Jan. 17, 2020

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.

AI governance: Canada’s next structural test

Anne Thompson 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

Artificial intelligence is accelerating faster than the governance structures meant to contain it. Canada now faces a structural test — whether our institutions can protect autonomy, dignity, and continuity in an era when decision-making is increasingly mediated by systems we did not design, cannot fully audit, and do not yet constitutionally constrain.

This is not a technological problem. It is a governance problem.

AI systems influence how information flows, how institutions behave, and how decisions are made. They shape the conditions under which harm becomes predictable. They amplify both the strengths and weaknesses of the systems into which they are deployed. And they do all of this at a scale and speed that outpaces traditional regulatory tools.

Canada’s current approach to AI governance relies heavily on policy, guidelines, and sector-specific regulation. These are important, but they are not sufficient. What is missing is structural clarity — a constitutional-grade framework that defines authority, responsibility, accountability, and the minimum conditions under which AI systems may operate without undermining human dignity or institutional credibility.

Climate change a clear and present danger to the already-shrinking polar bear population

Sarah Lawrynuik 18 minute read Friday, Oct. 30, 2020

The rocks fly out from beneath the tires of Angela Mak’s Ford F-150 as she cruises down the gravel road along the coast of Hudson Bay just east of Churchill.

It’s a routine. Every day from July until November she comes out here looking for polar bears.

Mak and her husband Bill Fong are originally from Hong Kong, but moved to Vancouver in the early ‘90s. In 2017 they travelled to Churchill during bear season — October and November, when the bears move out onto the sea ice.

After that one trip, their hearts were set on Churchill. First they bought a house in town to host friends and other guests, then they bought a small hotel when it went on the market in 2019.
