Parking lot session causes tingling sensation

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I was Christmas shopping and ran into an old boyfriend at a bookstore in St. Vital. He asked if I wanted to go for coffee nearby, so I said “Why not?” I couldn’t think of one thing except how gorgeous he looked. Coffee stretched into a bite to eat in the food court and ended up in the dark parking lot in his car necking like teenagers. We’re both married to other people and have children. Shame on us both!

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I was Christmas shopping and ran into an old boyfriend at a bookstore in St. Vital. He asked if I wanted to go for coffee nearby, so I said “Why not?” I couldn’t think of one thing except how gorgeous he looked. Coffee stretched into a bite to eat in the food court and ended up in the dark parking lot in his car necking like teenagers. We’re both married to other people and have children. Shame on us both!

As I carry on putting Christmas together, I feel guiltier and guiltier. What kind of family-oriented woman is daydreaming about necking in the car when she’s baking for the family Christmas?

My husband would be hurt and horrified if he found out, yet I’m not wishing that it hadn’t happened. I feel like a new woman in some ways. My whole body tingles at the memory. In fact, it is all I can do not to call this handsome man and initiate another “coffee.”

Although I will never do it again, I can still taste his kiss on my lips, and the last few nights I drove by his house. I stopped once and saw a couple in the living room. My stomach felt sick.

Dear Rotten Wife: I presume he hasn’t called you since. If he were really into cheating with you or anybody, and was practised at it, there would have been some contact very soon after.

What should you do? Here’s some options: 1. You can confess all to your husband, ruin Christmas and perhaps the whole marriage and family. 2. You can write this off as a moment, carry the guilt with you and hope it fades, but you must keep your nose clean from now on for the guilt to abate and you must stop the drive-bys. That’s creepy behaviour. Haul yourself up by the snowy bootstraps, girlfriend! Surely, you can rise above stalking a man.

Now, here’s a constructive idea: pour some of that regenerated sexual excitement you feel in your body back into your sexual relationship with your husband. It’s takes two to tingle, and now your body is sparkling again, make use of that energy.

Audited public accounts show Manitoba's deficit last year half of predicted $1.67 billion

Carol Sanders 6 minute read Monday, Sep. 21, 2026

Manitoba’s audited public accounts for the last fiscal year show the province is “moving in the right direction,” NDP Finance Minister Adrien Sala said Monday.

The provincial deficit for fiscal 2025-26 was $832 million, nearly half the $1.67-billion deficit forecast in December, and in line with the $794-million estimate in Budget 2026.

“I’m particularly proud of this final result, (given the potential) implications of tariffs on our economy, the worst wildfire season in 30 years — which resulted in significant emergency expenditures — and, of course, a significant drought,” Sala said at a news conference.

The province reported revenues of $25.1 billion and expenses of $25.9 billion, resulting in the $832-million deficit. Manitoba’s net debt is $36.5 billion and costs the province $2.3 billion a year in debt-servicing charges.

Councillor facing sex charges running for re-election

Morgan Modjeski 2 minute read Monday, Sep. 21, 2026

A Winnipeg city councillor who faces sexual assault charges says he is running for re-election.

A day before Tuesday’s deadline, Russ Wyatt registered to run in the Transcona ward where he has served five terms and to which he was first elected in 2002.

“After much reflection, I have decided to stand for re-election in the Winnipeg municipal election,” Wyatt said in a statement Monday.

“Time and time again, I have stood up to the powers that be, and they would love to get rid of me. But I see the mess this city is in today, with the disastrous new bus routes, ever rising water bills, developer largesse, and poverty in our streets,” he said.

Revealing statements by Trump about courts

Editorial 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

Analyzing the utterances of U.S. President Donald Trump may seem like the ultimate sort of mug’s game — they are varied, contradictory, rambling, pugilistic, sometimes wheedling and the list goes on.

Trump defends Iran war in address to UN General Assembly

Kelly Geraldine Malone, The Canadian Press 5 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 7:31 PM CDT

UNITED NATIONS - U.S. President Donald Trump told the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday he has a choice to make on Iran: negotiate a deal or "annihilate the Islamic Republic."

In a wide-ranging speech, Trump defended his war on Iran and boasted of American strength, claiming that "while others have talked, I have acted.”

He celebrated the U.S. military operation to oust Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro earlier this year and a new agreement to expand the American military presence in Greenland, which came after his threats of annexation.

But those actions have upended U.S. relationships with other nations, including traditional allies. Many of those allies have used the United Nations forum to call for a return to international law.

Hepatitis A case detected at Winnipeg school

2 minute read Yesterday at 3:55 PM CDT

A case of hepatitis A was recently diagnosed at Shaughnessy Park School in northwest Winnipeg, with parents, guardians, students and staff advised to monitor for symptoms until Nov 3.

An immunization clinic will be held at the school, the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority said in a letter to parents, guardians and staff Friday. The school has students in nursery to Grade 8.

Manitoba Health has been monitoring an increase in cases of hepatitis A — an acute liver infection — with 1,004 reported between September 2024 and Sept. 10, 2026. The province said 257 hospitalizations, eight intensive care unit admissions and seven deaths were reported during that period.

"While the rate of cases in the Winnipeg health region increased in the spring and has remained stable since then, there has been a decreasing trend in the rest of the province," a provincial spokesperson said in a statement.
