MOON ALERT: There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The moon is in Cancer.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Relations with parents and authority figures might be strained. Resist the urge to be too pushy. Likewise, avoid other people who are pushy. Your best choice is to work hard and get better organized. Fortunately, relations with partners are good.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Steer clear of squabbles, which can easily arise. You might feel criticized. Or conversely, you might feel critical of someone else? Certainly, you won’t hesitate to express your opinions. Easy does it. Instead, focus on sports, social outings and fun activities with kids.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Money disputes or quarrels about ownership of something might arise. In fact, you have strong feelings about your possessions. Meanwhile, someone older or perhaps a member of a group might think otherwise? Tread carefully. Talk to family members.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

The moon is lined up with Mars in your sign at odds with Saturn. (Yikes!) This puts a strain on your conversations with others because you might be a tad aggressive and defensive at the same time. This is a poor day to ask for permission or approval from anyone. Just tread water.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Something going on behind the scenes might rankle you. It might have something to do with rules and regulations, the law or tradition. Whatever it is, you might want to ignore it or fight it. (You might question the wisdom of this.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Relations with friends and groups might be tested, especially regarding shared expenses or the division of resources or property. You might feel someone is not being fair? They might demand too much of you? Or you might think they’re not pulling their weight.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a tricky day, because you like to keep the peace and enjoy harmony in all your relationships. But right now your relations with authority figures are testy, even aggressive. You might feel criticized, especially by a partner. Don’t get your belly in a rash.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be smart and steer clear of controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues, because they could quickly explode into an argument. Meanwhile, issues related to your job, work, or even your health seem to be onerous. Seek solitude in pleasant surroundings.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Something to do with socializing or dealing with kids, vacations, the arts or romance might be disappointing. Someone might be too opinionated or coming on too strong. (Hopefully, this person is not you.) Take it easy and lower your expectations. Be reasonable and forgiving.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is the classic day for irritable conversations and challenges dealing with spouses, partners and close friends. An older relative or a parent might even be in the mix. Everyone has an opinion and there’s nowhere to run for cover. Send out for dark chocolate.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Although relations with others are aggressive and challenging, nevertheless, you can get a lot of work done. (This might be your best option.) Steer clear of negative thinking as well as hurt feelings. Life is short — and fat.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Disputes about money and finances, especially if they have to cover the cost of a vacation, social occasion, sporting events or something to do with the entertainment or education of children, are likely. Take your pick. The day has its challenges. Actually, it’s the perfect day for a nap.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Musician Roger Waters (1943) shares your birthday. You are complex. You’re sensitive, organized, brave and adventurous! You look out for the welfare of others. This is a year of learning and teaching. Take time to renew your spiritual beliefs. Explore meditation, prayer or introspection, along with philosophies that give you a better understanding of your life.

US tourism groups want to win Canadian visitors back. A testy trade war isn’t helping

Rio Yamat, The Associated Press 7 minute read Sunday, Sep. 6, 2026

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Appeals from American tourism organizations seemed to be everywhere Josh Loewen looked over the last year. Billboards and banners proclaimed a state or city's love for Canada. Online and social media ads offered special deals for travelers from north of the border.

As a Vancouver resident and marketing executive himself, Loewen said he understands the conciliatory overtures. The number of Canadians traveling to the United States plunged after President Donald Trump returned to office with remarks about making Canada the 51st state. An acrimonious trade war between the two countries now is threatening to reinforce the informal boycott just as it appeared to be easing slightly.

"It’s such a big ask right now,” Loewen, 45, said of the U.S. tourism industry's attempts to woo Canadians like him back before a new president occupies the White House. “It’s just a wasted effort.”

Relations between the U.S. and Canadian governments have deteriorated sharply since their trade negotiations collapsed last month. Trump imposed import taxes of up to 50% on a range of Canadian products. Canada’s government responded in kind. Trump ordered the U.S. government to change the name of border-spanning Lake Ontario to “Lake America.” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney dismissed insults from members of Trump's Cabinet as childish and undignified.

Slow start but gritty play not enough in Bombers OT loss to Roughriders in Labour Day Classic

Ken Wiebe 7 minute read Sunday, Sep. 6, 2026

REGINA – Leave it to Brady Oliveira to succinctly describe that fine line between jubilation and the alternate.

In the aftermath of another Labour Day Classic that went down to the wire, Oliveira went through the joy of tying the game with no time left on the clock to the empty feeling that came moments later when the Saskatchewan Roughriders finished off a 32-26 victory on Sunday night before a raucous crowd of 34,352 at Mosaic Stadium.

“It’s terrible,” said Oliveira. “You just kind of feel all of the emotions. I’m pretty pissed right now. We were close, we were right there. We didn’t play our best football and we still gave ourselves a chance, which could be a silver lining.

“I don’t like to look at silver linings because the fact of the matter is we play this game to get positive results. We want to win the game and we didn’t win the game. So, I’m pissed.”

Woman died while getting wisdom teeth out; case raises questions about transparency of dental association

Nicole Buffie 4 minute read Friday, Sep. 4, 2026

The parents of a 23-year-old southwestern Manitoba woman who died after receiving a local anesthetic during a wisdom tooth extraction say they are in the dark about the investigation into their daughter’s death.

Dulaney and Victoria Blatz say the Manitoba Dental Association has been unwilling to give them information about the probe into their daughter’s death, saying the self-governing regulatory body must be more transparent with the public.

“We have pushed through various channels trying to get information, but it’s nothing but stalling and sidelining,” Victoria said Friday. “This has crashed our world to pieces and we just want answers.”

Virginia Blatz went to Boundary Trails Dental Centre in Morden on Nov. 27, 2024, to have her wisdom teeth removed, but never returned home.

Enrolment up at alternative schools

Maggie Macintosh 5 minute read Yesterday at 10:02 AM CDT

Independent schools are preparing to welcome a record number of students as more families pay for faith-based instruction and secular alternatives.

The overwhelming majority of Manitoba children — 200,000 — are starting in the public school system this fall. Since 2000, the percentage of students enrolled elsewhere — in homeschools, funded and non-funded independent schools — has nearly doubled, to 12 per cent from seven per cent.

“If money was no object, we could fill dozens and dozens more classrooms with the demand for independent education,” said Andrew Micklefield, executive director of the Manitoba Federation of Independent Schools, who is a former Tory government house leader.

The King’s School, Dasmesh School, Springs Christian Academy, Beautiful Saviour Lutheran School, Steinbach Christian School and IQRA Islamic School have all either upscaled at some point over the last five years or are actively in the process of expanding their footprint.

‘We belong… and we are giving back”: Sikh celebration enlivens downtown Winnipeg

Melissa Martin 2 minute read Sunday, Sep. 6, 2026

Downtown Winnipeg came alive with vibrant sights, sounds, and scents on Sunday, as Manitoba’s Sikh community flocked to Memorial Park to celebrate its annual Nagar Kirtan procession and festival.

This year marked the 422nd anniversary of the completion of the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture central to the Sikh faith. Shortly after 1 p.m., a palanquin bearing a copy of the scripture was led in parade through downtown Winnipeg, with musical accompaniment.

“This is a chance to tell the public and the whole community where we come from and who we are,” said volunteer Prabh Grewal shortly before the procession got underway. “In a community there are people from every race and every country, and our main objective is to have everybody live in peace and harmony together.”

Before, during, and after the procession, the park hummed with life. As many as 55,000 people converged on the site, with the majority dressed in festive traditional attire. Near the height of the day’s 30 C heat, families relaxed in patches of shade, enjoying plates of Punjabi cuisine dished out for free at dozens of tents sponsored by local businesses.
