MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) or important decisions after noon. After this, the moon moves from Aquarius into Pisces

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is a slightly accident-prone day for you, so pay attention to everything you say and do. Plans might suddenly change. Stay loose so you can go with the flow. Bright ideas might suddenly occur. Expect to see new places and meet new faces.

The Conjuring star Patrick Wilson turns 53 today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

This is a tricky day for spending money. For starters, check the moon alert above. Try to restrict your spending to food and gas. Nevertheless, a totally different influence will encourage you to make spontaneous financial decisions and impulsive purchases.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Be careful because fiery Mars is lined up with unpredictable Uranus in your sign. This is an accident-prone influence. It makes you impulsive and quick to change your mind. Pay attention to everything you say and do to avoid regrets.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

There’s an electric energy that can make people say and do things they might regret. Fortunately, the sun in your sign gives you steady strength; nevertheless, Mercury is also retrograde in your sign, which might create confusion. Check moon alert above.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

It’s a good thing that with Venus in your sign you will be diplomatic and charming with others because friends and groups might surprise you or catch you off-guard in some way. Plans will change. You might meet someone new who is unusual.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Double-check all your dealings and communications with bosses, parents and VIPs because sudden changes might take things in a direction you did not expect. (See moon alert above.) It’s a poor day for important decisions as well as spending money (except on food and gas). Caution.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Be aware that unexpected changes to travel plans are likely. Double-check your agenda and your travel details. Legal or medical matters might also create some surprises along with school schedules. Take nothing for granted.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Make friends with your bank account because issues related to finances, shared property, taxes, debt and inheritances are subject to sudden changes or goofy errors. Make sure you know what is happening. You snooze, you lose.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

By nature, you are a friendly, outgoing sign that likes other people, especially interesting characters. Friends, spouses, partners and even members of the general public might do something you didn’t expect. Take a beat before you react. Keep your eyes open.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your work routine might be interrupted because of staff shortages, power outages, technical problems or late deliveries. Give yourself extra time so you have wiggle room to deal with the unexpected. Restrict spending to food and gas.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Parents should be extra-vigilant to make sure accidents with their kids do not happen. Keep your eyes open. (Make sure you know where they are at all times.) Social plans might suddenly change. They might be cancelled or you might receive a surprise invitation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your home routine will be interrupted. Small appliances might break down or a minor outage could occur, or surprise company might appear at your door. This is a great time to party and shmooz. Stay on top of things so you’re not caught off-guard. Stock the fridge to avoid shortages.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Patrick Wilson (1973) shares your birthday. You are intellectual and emotionally sensitive toward other people. You’re also charming and keenly observant. This year is slower-paced. It’s OK to rest. Take time to rejuvenate your energy. Focus on relationships with people who are kind and helpful and have your back. Value yourself.

An eroding Winnipeg neighbourhood looks to new foundations

Ian Bickis, The Canadian Press 5 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 1:34 PM CDT

WINNIPEG - The lot Jesse Bettcher lives on in Winnipeg's north end used to be a pile of burnt rubble. Same with the one next door. And the one across the street.

But he's now the proud owner of a two-storey house with blue-grey siding and white trim, so new the orange construction fencing is still out front.

It's a dream home for Bettcher, and the latest hope for a city seeking to knock down, clean up and revitalize neighbourhoods that have seen hundreds of homes left vacant, leading to safety hazards and worries about the future.

He bought the house as part of a pilot project aimed at creating affordable home ownership. It let him and his family move out of a rental that he said was falling apart.

Daycare grapples with five-year-old’s outbursts, choking incidents

Maggie Macintosh 4 minute read Friday, Jul. 24, 2026

A Windsor Park child-care facility is weighing a five-year-old’s right to care versus the safety of other children who have been choked.

Little People’s Place expelled a pre-schooler in the spring in response to his aggressive behaviour toward other children and staff.

The child’s family has appealed to the province for him to be reinstated.

The case is raising concerns about inclusion support resources and measures to protect everyone at the Cottonwood Road daycare.

Man, 20, faces charges in street-racing incident

1 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 11:37 PM CDT

Speeding drivers were racing through Elmwood at up to 200 km/h overnight, Winnipeg police say.

Around 2 a.m. July 26, police got reports of a Corvette and other vehicles racing along Disraeli Freeway. Using the Winnipeg Police Service's helicopter, officers monitored the vehicles and recorded speeds, including vehicles crossing the Nairn overpass at up to 200 km/hr.

Officers with the central traffic unit tried to pull over a Jeep and a Corvette at Lagimodiere Boulevard and Regent Avenue. The driver of the Corvette didn't stop and sped past police, eventually stopping in the 100 block of Johnson Avenue where the driver and passenger got out and ran.

The K9 unit tracked the suspects to the 100 block of Poplar Avenue. One of them was taken down by a police dog and received medical attention. Both were taken into custody.

Anishinaabe Days teepee poles vandalized

Nicole Buffie 4 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 8:16 PM CDT

An act of vandalism to a teepee at the Treaty One Development Corp’s Anishinaabe Days did not stop the celebrations from continuing over the weekend.

Someone deliberately cut the poles used to erect the site’s teepee before the event began, Treaty One executive director Jason Whitford said Sunday.

The family responsible for overseeing the teepee and its construction at the site, Naawi-Oodena  on Kenaston Boulevard, went to the site on Friday to erect the teepee when they noticed someone had taken a saw and cut all 15 of its poles in half.

“They were stored in a safe place, and they were stored properly as per protocol,” Whitford said. “They were in an area where there was no construction so they were isolated from any activity.”

Vacant Bay store on road to redevelopment, St. Vital Centre owner says

Gabrielle Piche 6 minute read Friday, Jul. 24, 2026

Entertainment attractions are coming to fill the former Hudson’s Bay space in St. Vital Centre.

Montreal-based real estate firm Leyad, the south Winnipeg mall’s owner, says it is finalizing an agreement for the vacant property. Further details should appear in the next couple months, said president Henry Zavriyev.

“We’re looking at what other types of experiences we can bring to the mall that aren’t just typical retail,” he said during a visit to Winnipeg this week.

“We want to create an experience where you can just come to the mall, hang out here for hours, no matter if you’re a kid, an adult, a retiree.”

Take care of them; there is enough

David Driedger 5 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

THE PARABLE of the Good Samaritan is one of those stories that has endured far beyond its original context, far beyond religion itself. Someone is robbed, assaulted and left for dead.

The parable names names. The equivalent of political and community leaders, who should know better, pass by on the other side of the street. A Samaritan, someone of questionable standing in the community, stops and helps. The only person who isn’t identified is the one beaten. He could be any of us. It is a powerful call to compassion and not turning away.

Something that is rarely, if ever, mentioned is that the Samaritan brings the person along with him to an inn where they stay the night. In the morning, the Samaritan must be on his way and so says to the innkeeper, “Take care of him and when I come back, I will repay you whatever more you spend.”

I know many who try to live out the Samaritan ethic. We roll down our windows at an intersection with some spare change. We hand out water during a heat wave.
