Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/12/2017 (3204 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I ran into an old sex buddy at a Christmas party. I grabbed him and gave him a big hug.

This gorgeous guy had sampled every woman aged 18 to 30 that Winnipeg had to offer in the 1990s.

He has a religious wife now, four youngish children and is a pillar of respectability to all who never knew him in the biblical sense.

I didn’t know about his metamorphosis. He quickly pulled me behind a decorated pillar where he thought his wife couldn’t see us, and filled me in.

I started to laugh, and he got mad and told me to shut up because he had a right to change and to be respected for that change. I started to agree, and then had a flashback of four of us waking up in a bed, with him being the only guy!

“Remember the cabin?” I gasped, and started to roar just as his wife came and grabbed him. I said, “Oh, excuse me.”

Her face went red and then white and then red like a Christmas bulb. I staggered off to the bathroom and sat down in a stall and tried to catch my breath.

Then I saw her red dress come into the bathroom through the cracks in the stall door. She said she saw me go into the bathroom and asked me to come out. I lifted my feet off the floor and stopped breathing for a full minute until she finally left. I went home, rather than deal with that uptight woman.

What is wrong with people that they have to act like that? Our pasts are long gone, and new partners like her have nothing to fear.

Is he going to have to spend his whole life trying to duck all the women he gave pleasure to? — Just Don’t Get Her! River Heights

 

Dear Just Don’t Get Her: Feel sorry for her — it’s hard to be married to a former womanizer.

You can bet she knows of his past and is insecure about his sexual desires and behaviours when he’s off-leash.

If he fooled around a lot in the Winnipeg area, she may worry there are lots of women he has known intimately, and that they might tempt her weak hubby. He may have got carried away with his confessing.

She knows she’s only one woman and he was once used to a large number of women. They aren’t real to her until she goes out with him and runs into somebody who might not know he’s a good boy now.

And, let’s be honest: you were drunk and had your arms around him.

Uncaring hubby fell flat at first hurdle

Maureen Scurfield 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:00 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I re-rented my favourite summer cabin this fall because I’m trying to finish my thesis. My husband of just over a year was very annoyed with me for going on my own, but didn’t say much about it because I paid.

I thought we were both OK with this arrangement, until I got the flu up at the lake very badly and couldn’t keep anything down. I felt faint. I phoned him and he said he was at a party with the guys. I could hear music and girls laughing.

He wouldn’t come for me, so at 4 a.m. when I was getting even more sick and scared, I drove back to the city unannounced.

I went straight to my parents’ house and pretty much fell through the door. Mom said to me when she grabbed me: “This is not right. You could have died in the ditch. Where is your husband?”

Furby Street residents fed up with inaction on drug houses

Carol Sanders 6 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 8:39 AM CDT

Anxious Furby Street residents contacted the city and their elected officials Friday to — once again — report people coming and going from a boarded-up house they call a dangerous “drug centre” and “den of thieves” that’s just steps away from a house under construction.

Linda Zak, who was holding a yard sale with a group of neighbours Friday morning, described the trouble the home attracts, while a woman slumped on the front steps and a man standing in the yard yelled to someone inside it.

“It is a drug centre,” said Zak, 77. “We know that. A couple of days ago, a person lit the front on fire. Now, as you look at it, you can see where the facade was burning and they were trying to harm people inside.”

“We’re very concerned about it being next to the home this man is building,” she said, pointing to the two-storey that’s nearly completed. The boarded-up house is in the 500 block of Furby.

Jets defenceman spent whole summer working on getting to the next level

Tyrel Bauer makes no apologies for the pugilistic piece of his path.

The Winnipeg Jets defenceman is ready to drop the gloves and throw down when the situation calls for it and he takes great pride in protecting his teammates.

It’s a big part of the reason Bauer will be among the 23 players submitted by the Jets on the opening-day roster on Monday.

“I’ve fought and clawed, both metaphorically and literally and now I just want to show that I can play as well,” Bauer said during a chat with the Free Press during training camp. “(Toughness) is always something that I have, it’s always something in my back pocket and something that I take a lot of pride in doing, for my teammates, for the city and the people who invest in this hockey club. That will never change.

Jets pick up netminder as relatively new 23-man roster announced

Mike McIntyre 7 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 9:25 PM CDT

Let’s get the caveats out of the way: Nothing is set in stone, nor written in permanent ink, and what you see right now could change in the blink of an eye.

With that being said, allow us to introduce you to the 2026-27 Winnipeg Jets — where change is very much in the air.

The 23-man roster submitted to the NHL offices by Monday’s 4 p.m. deadline includes seven players who were not on the team at this time last year. In fact, there could be as many as 10 new faces in the opening-night lineup on Friday against Boston when you factor in three regulars didn’t start the 2025-26 campaign due to injury.

That’s a lot of turnover, which isn’t surprising for a team that finished 26th overall in the standings and was — to most fans and pundits — too old and too slow.

Other options are closer

Every Winnipeg driver learns this lesson eventually: keep your eyes on the horizon too long and the pothole gets you. Manitoba’s energy debate has the same problem. We keep looking far down the road for the next big project and missing what’s close at hand.

Scott Forbes (Time for 21st-century leadership at MB Hydro, Think Tank, Sept. 24) makes a strong case for more wind and storage. But much of this debate is still measured in thousands of megawatts, generated far from where the power is used.

The more immediate opportunity is close to home.

The Brazilian election

The Brazilian election

Gwynne Dyer 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

“Flávio Bolsonaro is Trump’s candidate and what Trump wants is to colonize Brazil, take our riches, steal our future and leave us in the dust,” claims the latest video released by President Luiz Inácio ‘Lula’ da Silva’s re-election campaign. The weird thing is about half of Brazil’s voters would be okay with Trump running the country (through Bolsonaro).

Nobody in Brazil thinks that Flávio Bolsonaro is his own man. He is the son of Jair Bolsonaro, the hard right ex-soldier and former president who tried a coup after he lost the 2022 election. It was even clumsier and more half-hearted than Trump’s brief excursion in sedition after he lost the U.S. 2020 election — but Jair Bolsonaro went to jail for his attempt.

In a strange way Trump even recognizes the parallel, showing special sympathy for his imprisoned fellow traveler. He claimed that the senior Bolsonaro was the victim of a “witch-hunt” by the Brazilian Supreme Court and slapped 50 per cent tariffs on the country. And next Sunday (Oct. 4) the junior Bolsonaro faces Lula in another presidential election.

We already know that there will be a second round of voting on Oct. 25, when the other three candidates have dropped out and it’s a straight race between Lula and Junior. We have no idea what that outcome will be, because the two men have been only one or two points apart (i.e. ‘within the margin of error’) in every opinion poll for months.
