Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I had a fight with my potty-mouthed wife when she wouldn't listen to what I wanted from the store — my damn cigarettes. She was in a hurry and cursed me while she when out the door. Then I hear she got mad with someone in front of her holding up the line buying lottery tickets. So she called this woman in front of her a few choice names behind her back. My wife can keep her lips together and mutter swear words like a ventriloquist. You wonder where they are coming from at first, until you get to know her.

Hey there, time traveller!

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I had a fight with my potty-mouthed wife when she wouldn’t listen to what I wanted from the store — my damn cigarettes. She was in a hurry and cursed me while she when out the door. Then I hear she got mad with someone in front of her holding up the line buying lottery tickets. So she called this woman in front of her a few choice names behind her back. My wife can keep her lips together and mutter swear words like a ventriloquist. You wonder where they are coming from at first, until you get to know her.

The woman who got cursed, called for the manager, pointed at my wife and told him what she had said. The person behind my wife couldn’t hear the curse words because my wife had muttered them, so she got away with it. She came home without my cigarettes and bragged about what she did. Then, in one of those flashes you have in a marriage, I thought, “I hate you. You are a pushy manipulative lying witch. You are a piece of stinking garbage. Why did I ever marry you?” What should I do?

— Hate her So Bad Sometimes, St. James

 

Dear Hate Her so Bad Sometimes: Don’t be hasty. Just cool off. You actually sound like a perfect match. You speak the same language: Sailor’s English. You just don’t like it when both of you are in a bad mood. You are actually bragging and complaining about her at the same time. You think her ventriloquism of dirty words is clever and you like her spicy talk when you’re not mad at each other. You married her and loved her above all others. You can’t tell me she just learned to swear like this recently!

Remember how much hate you felt for your brothers or sisters when you were young and really mad at them? And how much disgust you felt looking at their “ugly faces?” It’s the same thing with spouses. Sometimes they totally detest each other for a few hours. It’s OK to hate someone you love for a short amount of time if it doesn’t happen too often — it’s just part of the deal.

Canadians loving Carney’s decision to stand tall against floundering U.S. bully

Tom Brodbeck 4 minute read Friday, Sep. 11, 2026

It’s hard to imagine a more dramatic political contrast than the one unfolding on opposite sides of the Canada-U.S. border.

Mark Carney is fighting a trade war with Donald Trump, taking the occasional verbal punch from the American president and imposing retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products.

And the prime minister is being rewarded for it politically.

Trump, meanwhile, is fighting pretty much everyone he can find — including some of America’s closest allies — and his own voters are increasingly giving him the political equivalent of a raised middle finger. That’s quite a tale of two leaders.

Drug recovery centre opens office in ‘heart of the city’

Morgan Modjeski 4 minute read Yesterday at 3:38 PM CDT

Richard Halverson found his freedom from addiction through Adult & Teen Challenge and, six years later, he hopes a new Winnipeg location will bring hope to the city.

Dozens gathered Saturday morning to mark the grand opening of the recovery centre’s community services office on Main Street.

Located inside the former Wojcik funeral home, the bright-white building — which was also formerly a liquor store — will serve as an access point for people fighting drug addiction. That includes connecting them to addictions support, housing and training.

“For me, I always start with: ‘What’s your story?’” said Halverson, who now works for the faith-based organization.

Downtown no place to be after dark, huge majority of Winnipeggers say in survey

Joyanne Pursaga 8 minute read Friday, Sep. 11, 2026

Most Winnipeggers are afraid to walk alone downtown and believe the city needs more police officers, a new survey finds.

Winnipeg Police Service released its 2026 citizen survey Friday.

Downtown safety appears to remain a major concern, with just 44 per cent saying they feel very or reasonably safe walking alone in the area during the day. The number plummets to eight per cent overall at night, down from nine per cent in 2024, the last time the survey was conducted.

This year, 14 per cent of men felt very or reasonably safe walking alone downtown at night, compared to just three per cent of women.

Mayoral candidate denounced for online comments

Morgan Modjeski 3 minute read Updated: 2:34 PM CDT

A Winnipeg mayoral candidate is facing criticism after he posted derogatory comments about immigrants and used the word “gay” as an insult online.

Sydney Adams said the response she got from Zac Uminski, who is seeking the city’s top office alongside 12 other individuals, left her baffled. She recently criticized Uminski over his use of artificial intelligence to produce campaign material, to which he replied he can’t afford to hire people to make art or “do whatever gay s—- you think is better than AI.”

“What was going through my head was that this is just unacceptable,” she said.

Adams said Uminski also posted other disparaging remarks about newcomers.
