MOON ALERT: After 4:30 p.m. today, avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions for the rest of the day. The moon is in Aquarius.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is an excellent day for a practical discussion with someone older or more experienced. This might happen by talking to a partner, close friend or member of the general public. It’s a positive day to shmooz. Check moon alert if spending money.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You’re high-viz, which means people notice you more than usual. This will probably benefit those of you at work because relations with co-workers are mutually supportive. You might also benefit from behind-the-scenes research.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

This is the perfect day to explore avenues in publishing, the media, medicine and the law — but do so before the moon alert. Romance with someone different might begin. You might also welcome the advice of someone who is older or more experienced. (You don’t have to reinvent the wheel.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

It’s fortunate you have some strong energy now with fiery Mars in your sign. In fact, it will stay there for another month! Meanwhile, discussions about shared property and banking could benefit home and family for you. Someone has your back.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a great day to shmooz with others! It’s curious, because even though you will be charming and diplomatic with everyone, it’s in your best interests to go more than halfway when dealing with others. Be accommodating and co-operative.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might be interested in buying beautiful things like clothing, dish ware, jewelry and artwork — whatever strikes your fancy. If so, be aware of the limitations of the moon alert (see above). Meanwhile, financial discussions will likely benefit you. Keep your pockets open!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’ll enjoy socializing with others. Romantic connections will particularly appeal. If shopping for wardrobe goodies, be aware of the limitations of the moon alert (see above). You have a soft spot in your heart for someone.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

A practical discussion with someone older, perhaps a family member, might introduce improvements at home or within the family. You might also be prepared to confide in someone about a secret flirtation or love affair. Continue to enjoy the company of others, especially younger people.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Conversations with neighbours, siblings and relatives will please you. In fact, someone older might have advice for you, especially related to a vacation, your kids, sports or the arts. Be reasonable if you face a dispute with someone about shared expenses. Meanwhile, a casual friendship might turn flirtatious?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Financial discussions will go well if you keep an eye on the restrictions of the moon alert. Bosses and authority figures will favour you. As a result, you might be able to benefit home and family in a practical way. Naturally, this will please you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You’re in the driver’s seat because the moon is in your sign dancing beautifully with both Saturn and Venus. It’s a great day to make travel plans. An attraction to someone “different” might occur. Meanwhile, everyday discussions will be down-to-earth and practical.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Work going on behind the scenes will benefit you. In fact, it could trigger money coming your way. If spending, you’ll be careful and frugal. Keep an eye on the moon alert and its financial restrictions. Nevertheless, this is also a fun day to socialize and explore sporting events and playful activities with kids.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Melissa McCarthy (1970) shares your birthday. You’re independent, imaginative and innovative. You’re also ambitious and filled with intellectual curiosity. This year you reap the benefits of all your hard work. Expect power, leadership and recognition. You might get a promotion. You might become self-employed. You might win kudos, awards and the spotlight. Seize business opportunities.

Breed-specific dog ban should be overturned

Elayna Hurtig 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

Though there have been multiple calls for repeal, Winnipeg continues to enforce its controversial 36-year breed-specific dog ban.

The ban prohibits American pit bull terriers, Staffordshire bull terriers, American Staffordshire terriers and mixed-breed dogs with the physical appearance and traits of these prohibited breeds.

I appreciate that the ban may have been well-intentioned when enacted.

However, research now points to a multifactorial approach to preventing dog bites, including public education, access to veterinary care and strong animal-control laws addressing aggressive behaviour, licensing, irresponsible breeding, leash laws and animal welfare/safety.

Arts & Life team taste-tests new Kraft concoction

AV Kitching 5 minute read Yesterday at 2:00 AM CDT

Prepare your tongue for the ultimate thrill, as Kraft Dinner has once again veered wildly out of its box and into new territory.

Just when we all thought the brand had peaked after unleashing its limited-run New York-style KD Mac & Cheesecake earlier this summer, the beloved pantry staple set its sights on dethroning another kitchen cupboard essential: instant noodles.

Emboldened by the rapturous reception of cheesecake lovers nationwide who had clearly been hankering for the savoury-sweet combo, the convenience food’s latest mashup pairs its infamous neon-orange cheese powder with classic ramen soup seasoning and dehydrated noodles.

The resulting bowl is a respectable attempt at creating a North American version of the South Korean trend of noodle lovers adding slices of processed cheese to their ramyeon to temper spice levels and added creaminess.

Thirteen accused in gun, drug trafficking network in rural Manitoba

Erik Pindera 4 minute read Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2026

RCMP and Winkler police have arrested more than a dozen people allegedly connected to a drug-and-gun trafficking network that operated in rural Manitoba.

The joint investigation began in December 2024, when officers from the Winkler Police Service asked the Mounties for help after learning kilograms of cocaine were being imported to a Winkler-area truck repair business, said RCMP Supt. Jeff Asmundson, who oversees the force’s Manitoba integrated law enforcement team.

Mounties and Winkler police gathered evidence for 19 months and expanded the probe, dubbed Project Dolor, as investigators learned other types of illicit substances and firearms were being trafficked by the network in a number of southern Manitoba communities, said Asmundson, whose team investigates serious and organized crime.

“It started as a cocaine trafficking investigation, and obviously, as we move along in a project or a file, evidence is gathered and an opportunity arose and we wanted to ensure public safety,” he told reporters Tuesday. “We were able to secure some firearms.”

Counter-tariffs add new challenge for retailers

Gabrielle Piché 5 minute read Yesterday at 8:10 PM CDT

Removing trade uncertainty tops Harold Kriewald’s wish list.

On Wednesday, he hadn’t heard from suppliers about which — if any — products at Stalwart Appliances in Winnipeg will be hit with new levies.

Canadian tariffs on $26.7 billion worth of United States imports are set to begin Sept. 8. They come before the holiday season, the retail sector’s busiest stretch.

“(If) the forecast is uncertain, you as the consumer are not always prone to want to make a big purchase,” said Kriewald, Stalwart Appliances’s owner. “Uncertainty is probably the worst thing. The tariffs, of course, bring that uncertainty.”

Winnipeg biz owners encouraged to fly the Maple Leaf

Morgan Modjeski 4 minute read Yesterday at 7:34 PM CDT

A Winnipeg city councillor says business owners should fly the Maple Leaf to bolster Canadian pride as the country fends off a trade assault from the U.S.

“It’s all about being patriotic and showing that we are all on the same page and are unified in our efforts as we negotiate trade with the United States,” said Markus Chambers.

The St. Norbert - Seine River representative launched “Operation Naked Flag Pole” Wednesday.

“I’m seeing flag poles in our downtown area, but they’re not covered with Canadian flags,” he said. “They’re sitting empty. They’re naked. So let’s get them dressed with the Canadian flag.”

‘Buy Canadian’ takes on new meaning

Gabrielle Piché 6 minute read Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2026

The “Buy Canadian” push has re-emerged as the federal government rolls out tariffs on $27.6 billion worth of imports from the United States.

Premier Wab Kinew led the Manitoba charge Tuesday, hours after the federal government announced the retaliatory levies that will take effect Sept. 8.

“Whether you look at it as an affordability initiative, or you look at it as a way to support our economy here, buying local always makes sense,” Kinew said at an unrelated press conference. “It makes even more sense right now.”

Mark Carney’s government has responded to new 50 per cent tariffs imposed by the United States on $27.6 billion worth of Canadian products. Trade talks between the countries broke down late Friday.
