Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My live-in guy and I tried to do the wild thing in the woods near our house in the country and I hated it. It was freezing! He wanted more the next day. Cars drive by frequently, and one going by was it for me.

Hey there, time traveller!

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My live-in guy and I tried to do the wild thing in the woods near our house in the country and I hated it. It was freezing! He wanted more the next day. Cars drive by frequently, and one going by was it for me.

He said, “But my old girlfriend used to do it.” That was a big mistake. “Then call her!” I said, then got my purse, went to my car and drove to my parents. He called, apologizing over and over, so I went home, but the relationship has not been good since, especially after I got even by talking about my old boyfriend and what he used to do. He said, “Why don’t you ever do those things for me?” I didn’t answer. The truth is I loved the other guy more.

Now we’re sleeping single in a double bed. I wonder if I should pack and leave. He’s so immature! I’m 22 and so is he, but there’s a world of difference. I don’t even know if I love him or not anymore.

Dear Unsure Now: It didn’t take much to torpedo this love boat. You are both young and seemingly not very deeply in love. Those foolish words about his old girlfriend and your revenge words were definitely worth a big fight. They are also worthy of tears and a big talk about boundaries when talking about sex with one’s ex, but those stupid words should not be the end of a truly loving relationship. It sounds like your relationship is not worthy of marriage, so why not go your separate ways now?

MPI restricts loan program to winter tires only

Nicole Buffie 5 minute read Thursday, Sep. 3, 2026

Manitoba Public Insurance is getting strict about its winter tire program after years in which customers used it to buy other types of tires.

As of Oct. 1, only tires that are “designed and marketed solely for winter driving conditions, including snow and ice,” will be eligible for financing through the public insurer.

Currently, all-weather, all-season, four-season and year-round tires are included in the program, which allows MPI clients to pay the cost in monthly installments. The program, established in 2014, offers financing for up to $2,000, plus interest.

In an email to retailers, MPI says the program is being changed so it “helps ensure customers receive the full winter-driving safety benefits associated with dedicated winter tires.”

Shared Health urges surgical patients to get tests ASAP as Dynacare strike looms

Erik Pindera 5 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 5:59 PM CDT

Shared Health issued an urgent call Friday to surgical patients who require bloodwork to get it done before Dynacare stops collecting blood on noon Saturday — three days before lab workers are set to go on strike.

The company, which conducts blood tests at 22 outlets in Winnipeg, Brandon and surrounding communities, is locked in a contract battle with the union that represents its 350 workers.

Health officials warned that any disruption would significantly impair the health-care system.

Shared Health said Friday its officials, as well as regional health authorities, CancerCare Manitoba and the government have been working together to prepare for the walkout.

Export supports, loans part of Manitoba efforts to back businesses amid U.S. trade war

The Manitoba government announced more than $100 million in tariff relief as companies brace for an escalation in the Canada-U.S. trade war. Canadian counter-tariffs ranging from 15 to 50 per cent are set to take effect Tuesday. Similar levies from the United States began in August.

A swath of businesses are hit: roughly $42 billion in two-way trade crosses the Manitoba-U.S. border annually.

The Free Press compiled information about the province’s business-focused tariff relief measures from the government and program facilitators.

QDoc patients in tight spot over billing dispute

Chris Kitching 6 minute read Thursday, Sep. 3, 2026

Manitobans have been pulled into a dispute between QDoc — a Winnipeg-based virtual health-care platform — and the NDP government over fees billed to the province for patient care.

An Aug. 24 email from QDoc to its users prompted concern or calls for clarity from Manitobans who use the 24-7 platform to see a physician or nurse practitioner through encrypted video calls.

“When I first read it, like many others, I assumed they were going to be nixing the service altogether because that’s the way it was presented,” Tyndall resident Stephanie Pituley said.

“Upon further research, obviously that’s not the case, but I am still concerned to be honest. How many people did that research, I don’t know.”
