MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. today. After that, the moon moves from Capricorn into Aquarius.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is a poor day to deal with authority figures, especially if you want to ask for something. They won’t be receptive. Quite likely, their answer will be, “Talk to the hand.” Meanwhile, check the moon alert today. Don’t initiate anything new in the morning.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

A teacher, professor or mentor might be strict or grumpy this morning. You might be hampered by rules, laws and regulations this morning. Bummer. (Nevertheless, this morning is a poor time to initiate anything.) Just coast. Check moon alert above.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Today is a mixed bag. In one way, others might be stingy and doors will be closed to you. But in another way, perhaps dealing with a group or an organization, people will be sympathetic to your situation. Yes, it’s a bit of a crapshoot. Don’t ask for anything this morning.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Relations with partners and close friends are testy and a bit glum this morning. People are moody. But things look worse than they really are. As Eeyore would say, “It will probably rain.” Nevertheless, future travel plans might blossom in a lovely way!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today work will be a bit of a grind — no question. You’ll be humming the Song of the Volga Boatmen. Just cope as best you can because work-related travel and dealing with groups or charitable organizations actually might benefit you. Who knew?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Children might be an increased responsibility today. This is also a challenging day for romantic partners. Don’t expect too much from others — be realistic. Meanwhile, the seeds of a potential exciting vacation in the future might germinate! One can only hope.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Relations with a parent or an authority figure in the family or someone older or more experienced will be a bit grim this morning. They might be critical of you. Or perhaps you just feel their judgment? Relax because as the day wears on everything gets better. (Would I kid you?)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

It’s easy to fall into worry mode today. Worry is mostly a habit. Remember that saying: “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere.” Relax. Think positive thoughts and put a smile on your face. (Fake it till you make it.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your financial prospects look dim today. This is not what you wanted to hear. Even though something looks like a squeeze play, something else will come along that looks unbelievably promising! Who knew?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today you feel a bit shut off from others. Your self-confidence is weak and you’re not too keen to interact with others. Primarily, this is how your morning will begin. Later in the day, it’s as if the sun breaks through the clouds and you feel better!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You will want to work alone or behind the scenes this morning because life looks grim. You won’t feel like networking or interacting with others, and if you do, these exchanges will be discouraging. Have courage because, as the day wears on, you get happier! Factoid.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Someone older, perhaps in a position of authority (or perhaps they are more experienced) might rain on your parade today. You will feel diminished or judged. Don’t let this get you down because later in the day, others (especially in a group situation) will be supportive of you!

 

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

TV host Trevor Noah (1984) shares your birthday today. You are reserved but also intuitive. You wait before you make judgments about others. You have an excellent memory. This is your time of harvest! Yay! Now you will begin to reap the benefits of your efforts in the last decade. You deserve this time of success. Expect to enjoy an increased influence and leadership in your relationships. Yes!

Daycare grapples with five-year-old’s outbursts, choking incidents

Maggie Macintosh 4 minute read Friday, Jul. 24, 2026

A Windsor Park child-care facility is weighing a five-year-old’s right to care versus the safety of other children who have been choked.

Little People’s Place expelled a pre-schooler in the spring in response to his aggressive behaviour toward other children and staff.

The child’s family has appealed to the province for him to be reinstated.

The case is raising concerns about inclusion support resources and measures to protect everyone at the Cottonwood Road daycare.

Pilot project targets defence contract tracking

Gabrielle Piché 3 minute read 7:16 PM CDT

As Manitoba businesses cast eyes on national defence contracts, a local firm is piloting technology to ease regulatory headaches.

Mode40 announced its project — and a $2.6 million injection from the feds — earlier this month.

Defence contracts require stringent tracking of parts manufacturing and data may come from hundreds of different systems, said Cameron Bergen, Mode40’s chief executive.

There are raw material conversions, inspections and standards to track. Parts might go to several plants before landing in a finished product.

Temporary foreign workers rally to stay

Temporary foreign workers rally to stay

Carol Sanders 4 minute read 6:09 PM CDT

Close to 100 temporary foreign workers, mainly from China, whose time in Canada is running out, rallied on the steps of the Manitoba legislature Tuesday to raise awareness of their situation.

They arrived in Manitoba before the federal government cut immigration levels — when international students and temporary foreign workers had a shot at becoming permanent residents if they met the requirements to stay, said Ruby Lu.

“We come here for a few years and we work for a few years, pay taxes. Some of us are already bought a house,” said Lu, whose work permit expires at the end of the year.

“So if our (permit) expires, we don’t know what to do,” she said in front of demonstrators holding signs with messages including “we love Manitoba” and “bring back TPP” — the temporary public policy used by the Manitoba provincial nominee program to support open work permits and prioritize permanent residency for select candidates.

Manitoba Hydro’s energy plan set to be scrutinized

Chris Kitching 6 minute read Yesterday at 6:00 AM CDT

Manitoba Hydro is set to face questions and concerns over its plan for the province’s future energy needs, which includes proposed natural gas-powered turbines in Brandon and Indigenous-owned wind farms.

The Public Utilities Board, an arm’s-length regulator, will begin six weeks of hearings Monday into the 10-year blueprint and potential ways to satisfy electricity demand, while Hydro grapples with a projected energy shortfall, debt of $25 billion and aging infrastructure.

“The development plan reflects the best available information and analysis of how Manitoba Hydro can meet growing energy demand, while balancing factors we know are important to our customers, including cost, reliability and the environment,” Peter Chura, a spokesman for the Crown corporation, told the Free Press.

“We are confident in our analysis and that we’ve appropriately balanced reliability, affordability, safety and risk.”

Visitors from across Canada make Somerset restaurant’s social media challenge a success

Zoe Pierce 3 minute read Saturday, Jul. 25, 2026

There may not be another restaurant in Manitoba that can say it has welcomed visitors from as many communities across the province and beyond as the Somerset Food Bar & Lounge has this summer.

In just over a two week span, visitors from more than 100 towns have come out to the family-owned restaurant tucked away in Somerset, a community of roughly 450 people in the Pembina Valley 130 kilometres southwest of Winnipeg.

It started as a challenge, “60 Towns in 60 Days,” where the restaurant wanted to document how many different places they could reach, as it often sees people travelling across Canada stop at the restaurant. The goal was also to encourage people to make a drive they normally wouldn’t.

“The more we started sharing, the more people really started getting behind it, and it turned into this really big thing fairly quickly,” said Jay Friesen, restaurant manager.
