ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Discussions about home repairs and family matters, especially with respect to project costs, might occur. It’s an excellent day to make plans about the education and care of your kids. Some however, will plan out a vacation — every detail.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon star Michelle Yeoh is 64 today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

The moon is in your sign dancing beautifully with Mercury, which will increase the pace of your day and attract others to you. It will be a chatty day. You might be keen to share your feelings or write down something for someone else to read. Plans to solidify your home look solid.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Someone older might have advice for you. Possibly, you are the person dispensing advice. This is a good day to learn something new because you have the discipline and focus necessary to make it happen; plus, you won’t overlook details.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

It’s the perfect day to draw up a budget and think about how to use your money as economically as possible. (Right up your alley. Let’s face it, you wrote the book.) You might give advice to a boss or someone in authority; or a boss might have advice for you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

A conversation with a parent, boss or someone in authority could be important. It might be your chance to share your feelings about something. You want to organize your life with an overall plan. (Always a good idea.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

If you have a chance for some time alone, you might do some deep thinking. This is also a good day to think about how you can expand your world through travel, learning, study and talking to different people.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Discussions with partners, spouses and close friends will be serious but meaningful. Advice might flow back and forth. Someone might give someone else a hint about how to talk to a boss or a parent. You’re focused more on solid, practical issues.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You’ll make a great impression on bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs because they see you as reliable, conscientious and hard-working. Spouses, partners and close friends will see you as bright, clever and interesting. You’ve got your bases covered.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is the perfect day to study, write or review an important paper because your mind will be detail-oriented and self-disciplined. You’ll have a practical approach to dealing with kids, as well as social events. You might have ideas about covering the cost of something.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a solid day to discuss how to divide assets, share the cost of something or deal with inheritances, taxes and debt. Very likely, it could relate to family matters or something to do with your home. A partner or friend might keep things lighthearted.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

When talking to someone close, you’ll steer the conversation in the direction you want it to go. You know what’s important to you, and you’ll discuss it. You don’t want to waste anything. You’ll get great satisfaction from a job well done.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a productive day. You’ll keep plugging along at whatever you have to do with your job, health or a pet. You’ll enjoy little intervals and breaks where you can “chat over the fence” with someone in a lighthearted way.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actress Michelle Yeoh (1962) shares your birthday. You are charming, strong-willed and open-minded. You’re also perceptive, independent and determined. This is a year of service to others, probably to family. Therefore, take care of yourself so you can be a resource to those who turn to you for guidance, comfort and courage. Time for a personal makeover?

‘Catastrophic’ ending to eventful Manitoba Derby

Mike McIntyre 6 minute read Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2026

It had everything you could have wanted for the signature racing event of the season, including plenty of drama and excitement in front of a packed crowd at Assiniboia Downs.

Unfortunately, Monday night’s Manitoba Derby also served up another painful reminder of the potential perils of “The Sport of Kings” and what can occasionally happen when these magnificent animals are pushed to their limits.

Forty Twenty, a three-year-old bay colt who was one of the morning line favourites, looked to be in great shape as he approached the final turn and was near the lead in the nine-horse race.

But disaster struck as he approached the final turn and suddenly pulled up as the rest of the packed passed him.

Concordia doctor denies responsibility for Calgary man’s permanent disability

Erik Pindera 4 minute read Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2026

A Concordia Hospital doctor accused in a negligence lawsuit after a Calgary man was left permanently disabled when he was given a massive overdose of a powerful sedative has denied she ordered he be given the drug.

Zachary Hoogerdyk’s father, Edward Hoogerdyk, and the Alberta government filed their statement of claim earlier this year in Court of King’s Bench naming the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, provincial health agency Shared Health, Concordia Hospital, Dr. Anna Ziomek and two other hospital staff as defendants.

Hoogerdyk, who was 23 at the time, went to Concordia’s urgent-care centre with flu-like symptoms and worsening breathing difficulties on March 25, 2024 while he was in Winnipeg on business and to visit family, the lawsuit says.

The claim alleges Ziomek diagnosed Hoogerdyk with low levels of oxygen in his blood and a strain of the flu, before ordering him to be intubated.

Once hailed as sign of strong bond, U.S. consulate in Winnipeg to close

Tyler Searle 6 minute read Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2026

There was much fanfare when the U.S. government re-established a permanent presence in Winnipeg in April 2001 as it unveiled its consulate and hailed it as a major achievement between two friendly nations.

“It is testimony not only to the importance the U.S. government attaches to our bilateral relationship with Canada but also to the increasing prominence of Winnipeg, Manitoba and the western region of the country in bilateral and multilateral affairs,” said U.S. Ambassador to Canada Gordon Giffin at a ceremony with then-premier Gary Doer.

Fast-forward to this week when it was learned the office at Portage and Main is set to close, meaning the U.S. will lose its primary advocate for American business and trade interests in Manitoba.

Dwight MacAulay was chief of protocol for the Manitoba government in 2001, calling it a time of celebration and strength between the countries.

A dozen Manitoba staff were laid off on July 30, according to Team-IFPTE Local 161, the union representing the workers.

Another seven union members left voluntarily though a departure program, the union reported Tuesday.

Government overrides school board in ‘mature minor’ controversy

Maggie Macintosh 5 minute read Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2026

The Manitoba government has vetoed the Steinbach school board’s plan to override common law by making parents the ultimate authority on all student health issues.

Since Hanover School Division trustees approved a motion to disregard the category of “mature minors” just over two months ago, there has been widespread debate.

Trustees unanimously voted to stop honouring the mature minor doctrine — in which teenagers 16 and older are automatically assumed to have the maturity to make medical decisions for themselves — at the end of the 2025-26 school year.

“We would just encourage the Hanover School Division to do what they do best, which is providing high-level, quality education for the kids in their community,” Education Minister Tracy Schmidt said in an interview on Tuesday about her July 22 directive to the board to repeal its motion.

Federal government to build $267-M emergency research lab in Winnipeg

Chris Kitching 6 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 4:42 PM CDT

The federal government says it will build a $267-million medical countermeasures laboratory in Winnipeg with the goal of preparing Canada for future pandemics or outbreaks.

Expected to open in 2033, the national site will help the country develop vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostic tools, Winnipeg Liberal MP Terry Duguid said.

“This is a big deal for our city and for our province, a big deal for life sciences in Canada,” he told reporters Wednesday. “This facility is going to help protect the nation and help protect the world.”

Ottawa said the site — to be located next to the National Microbiology Laboratory’s Canadian Science Centre for Human and Animal Health on Arlington Street, just north of William Avenue — draws on lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic.
