SATURDAY, MARCH 17

MOON ALERT Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 8 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. After that, the moon moves from Capricorn into Aquarius.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Enjoy the last few days of this Pisces sun by giving yourself some solitude somewhere (preferably with a sunny patio and a great espresso bar) so you can ponder what you want your new year (birthday to birthday) to be all about. It’s easier to reach your goals if you define them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Enjoy this time of increased popularity. Continue to accept all invitations and extend some to others. Join groups, clubs and organizations. Shmooze with others and share your hopes and dreams for the future with them. Why? Their feedback will help you!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You are still very much high viz with the sun at high noon in your chart. This great lighting flatters you, so make the most of it by demanding the advantage when dealing with bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs. They will bow to you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Because you’re eager to learn and hungry for adventure, indulge yourself in some way. Travel if you can. Sign up for a course. Go to ethnic restaurants or visit places you’ve never been before. Be a tourist in your own city. (Send your family postcards from the other end of town.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Definitely give some serious effort (yes, the E word) to wrapping up loose details about taxes, debt, shared property, insurance matters, inheritances and wills. Just do it because it’s gotta be done. Then you can give yourself a nice little reward afterwards.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Respect your need for more sleep right now, because it’s a fact. The sun is still opposite your sign, as far away from you as it gets all year — and of course, the sun is your source of energy! Enjoy naps and more rest. (Find someone to cuddle.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Because you are virtually seized with a desire to improve your health and get better organized — act on this! Use this motivation. (It won’t always be there.) Make a list of dietary and exercise regimes as well as a list for cleaning up your act. Feels good, doesn’t it?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Vacations, arts and crafts, romance, love affairs and playful times with children are all tops on your menu now. This is a fun time for Scorpios! Indulge your need to play and enjoy yourself. Very soon, you’ll be working hard. (Oh yeah.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Get as much done as possible while you’re so strongly focused on home, family and your domestic world. Of course, you also want to “hide” and relax at home, especially because family memories and discussions are giving you a lot to think about.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Press on! This accelerated pace is totally appropriate for you now. Short trips, errands, reading and writing plus increased time with siblings and neighbours keep your schedule jam-packed. Press on! This is not the time to dally at home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

“The King was in the counting house counting out his money.” Your focus continues to be on cash flow, assets and your possessions. Perhaps you’re deciding what to keep and what to let go? You’re doing a financial inventory of your life.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

The sun is in your sign for a few more days so make the most of this! Whenever this happens (once a year) it’s your turn to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. It also tends to attract people and favourable circumstances to you.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Rob Lowe (1964) shares your birthday. You express your feelings towards others in an almost tender way. You’re imaginative and multitalented. You do many things well. You’re also enthusiastic about life and your enthusiasm is contagious. People like to be around you. Personally, you’re a do-gooder and like to be involved in important causes. Study something important in the year ahead because you will value it.

Canada vows dollar-for-dollar tariff retaliation, suspends trade talks with U.S.

Catherine Morrison, The Canadian Press 6 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 8:27 AM CDT

OTTAWA - A last-ditch effort to reach a new trade deal before a midnight tariff deadline failed Friday, as Prime Minister Mark Carney suspended talks with the United States and summoned his negotiators back to Ottawa.

The decision meant new 50 per cent tariffs on billions of dollars in Canadian exports to the U.S. took effect at 12:01 a.m., and Carney vowed Canada would retaliate with equal measures of its own.

"In recent weeks, we made important progress toward improving Canada's position as having the best deal in the world with the U.S.," Carney said in a statement just before Trump's tariff deadline.

"However, that progress has not been enough to meet our objectives for Canadians."

Manitoba beginning to produce ‘elite-level golfers’: Kuntz

Mike McIntyre 4 minute read 9:03 PM CDT

It may not have ended the way everyone wanted, but make no mistake: this was a banner week for local golfers.

Let’s start with Braxton Kuntz, who managed to qualify his way into the Manitoba Open and then found himself lurking near the top of the leaderboard after an opening round five-under 65. Although he didn’t finish as strong as he started — rounds of 72, 70 and then 76 followed — the 22-year-old proved he can hang with the pros on PGA Tour Americas.

“I think over the last couple of years I’ve been continually getting better and that’s been great to see,” Kuntz told the Free Press.

“I’ve been fortunate to compete against some great players and hold my own. This was another good learning experience for me, and I’m just going to take it and run with it. I’m sure I’m one of the youngest, if not the youngest, in this field, so I’ve got a long road ahead of me.”

‘Strong sense of unity’

By Melissa Martin 5 minute read Yesterday at 5:14 PM CDT

Manitoba government and business leaders are rallying behind Prime Minister Mark Carney’s plan to fight back, after a sudden collapse of trade talks between the U.S. and Canada sparked a new salvo of U.S. tariffs on some Canadian goods.

On Saturday, after Carney vowed to respond with retaliatory tariffs, Manitoba premier Wab Kinew said his government stood “100 per cent” behind the prime minister’s plan to respond to what Kinew called U.S. president Donald Trump’s “unjustified and immoral” tariffs.

“History will not be kind to Donald Trump, so we should never appease him,” Kinew said. “We should fight back, which is what Canada is doing today.”

Kinew met reporters for a brief news conference at the legislature on Saturday afternoon, about an hour after finishing a call with Carney and the other premiers. There was a “really strong sense of unity” on that call, Kinew said, and emphasized that he backs the federal decision to “walk away from what would have been a bad deal.”

Winnipeg team behind national LGBT monument spent six years bringing it to fruition

Nicole Buffie 4 minute read 6:05 PM CDT

The Winnipeg team behind a national monument recognizing the LGBT Purge were in Ottawa to celebrate its official unveiling Friday.

Thunderhead is the work of local artists Shawna Dempsey and Lorri Millan, Liz Wreford and Peter Sampson of Public City Architecture, and knowledge keeper Albert McLeod, who served as cultural adviser for the project.

The team beat out 31 international submissions for the project, which is permanently located at 201 Wellington St. in Ottawa along the Ottawa River, in view of Parliament.

“We are a beacon internationally around the world of what democracies can do about inclusion, about human rights,” McLeod said.

ER wait times have hit all-time highs in Winnipeg and are impacting nearly all aspects of hospital operations

Tom Brodbeck 17 minute read Friday, Aug. 21, 2026

On most days at Health Sciences Centre’s adult emergency department, all 58 treatment beds are filled with sick patients. Another dozen or so brought in by ambulance line the hallways on stretchers, with only one nurse to look after them.

Out in the waiting room, about 30 or 40 people — sometimes more — are slouched in chairs in pain or discomfort, waiting hours to see a doctor. Most have been assessed by a triage nurse, but many will have to wait 10 to 20 hours to be examined by a physician because there’s no room for them in the treatment area.

Some patients leave because they can no longer tolerate the excruciating wait, only to return days later, sicker than they were before.

Welcome to the emergency department at Manitoba’s largest hospital, where some of the highest-acuity patients seek medical care but now face delays that were unimaginable a few years ago.
