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."

Face up to fact you blew it with ex-wife

Maureen Scurfield 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My ex-wife just moved back to town and looks like a changed woman. She spent years married to me, and our kids just graduated in a city where we once lived together. That was without help from me, other than minor financial stuff.

She has found a great new job back in Winnipeg and she’ll do very well. I admire her more than any other woman I ever met, but she’s not interested in me at all.

I once had a solid, responsible job and then got into drinking, and I cheated on her. That’s why she left town. Now I’ve been sober and sorry for many years.

I asked her last weekend if I could take her out to dinner and she said no and changed the subject.

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.”

Who has been invited to the table?

Stephen Borys 6 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

Last Friday, I spoke at Booth University College’s inaugural Honour and Hope Harvest Dinner in support of Shelter U. I had been asked to speak about the power of art in the community, a subject I have spent much of my professional life thinking about — as a museum director, writer and teacher, and now through my consulting work with Civic Muse.

What continues to interest me is not simply what museums, universities and other public institutions do, but whether their work actually matters — whether they make a difference in the lives of the people and communities around them.

Preparing for the evening brought me back to an even more fundamental question: Who has been invited in?

One of my museum mentors used to remind me that institutions often begin the conversation about public engagement too late. Before engagement comes the welcome, and before the welcome comes the invitation. We can create extraordinary buildings, exhibitions and programs and say that everyone is welcome. But unless people believe that these places are also meant for them, many will never cross the threshold.

Eliminating short-term sick notes ‘big step forward’: Doctors Manitoba

Matthew Frank 4 minute read Tuesday, Sep. 29, 2026

Manitoba doctors will no longer be required to issue sick notes for short-term employee absences due to illness or injury, starting Thursday.

The new provincial legislation, which officially passed in June, will only allow employers to request the medical documents when an employee has been absent for more than a week or if they’ve called in sick 10 or more times in a calendar year.

Dr. Nichelle Desilets, Doctors Manitoba board chair, said the legislation will free up time for physicians to concentrate on medical appointments and called the new rules among the strongest in Canada.

“What may be a small change in the labour code can be a big step forward on improving access to medical care for all Manitobans and using our health care resources wisely,” she said during a news conference Tuesday.
