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

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Today is a mix between optimism and almost a feeling of guilt about what you should be doing. Lighten up. We all “should be doing” more, but it’s totally OK to be doing the best you can. Basically, you’re in a positive frame of mind, so enjoy your day.

Singer Rod Stewart turns 80 today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You might have excellent moneymaking ideas, which is not surprising because you are the financial wizard of the zodiac. You can practically mint money in your backyard. Nevertheless, someone older or a member of a group might be critical. (You can’t please everyone.)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You feel upbeat and happy as well as sympathetic and generous to others. The world is your oyster. Even your health feels vigorous. Later in the day, a boss, parent or someone in authority might rain on your parade. (This is nothing you can’t handle.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You have a warm feeling in your tummy, which is why travel appeals, as does a chance to meet new and different people. You’re also happy to be low-key and work alone or behind the scenes. Rules and regulations might discourage you. And so it goes.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a popular day for you. In particular, you will enjoy shmoozing with friends and interacting with groups, clubs and organizations. Admittedly, later in the day, the restrictions of shared finances or differing values might be a challenge. Nevertheless, you will remain optimistic.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You’re high-viz in a positive way. People see you as upbeat, joyful and generous. Many will admire you. Nevertheless, duties and obligations connected with a partner, spouse or close friend cannot be ignored. Don’t worry, you can handle this. Enjoy good times.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Travel plans and opportunities are exciting. You’re keen to see ways to expand your world, if not through travel, then by learning or exploring opportunities in medicine, the law, higher education, publishing or the media. So many possibilities. But first, take care of work obligations.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You feel rich because you see ways to benefit from the wealth and resources of others, perhaps a partner or spouse. Some of you might inherit. Whatever happens, you can’t ignore the responsibilities you have for kids. You might also have to pick up the tab for a social occasion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Relations with members of the general public as well as spouses, partners and close friends are warm and friendly. You will feel stimulated by the company of others. Nevertheless, responsibilities with a parent or someone at home cannot be ignored.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Work-related travel is likely. Others will be happy to form partnerships and groups in order to get the most done. Teamwork is the key. Don’t fall into worry mode. “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a marvellous day to shmooz with others. Enjoy social outings, sporting events, the arts, musical performances, the theatre and playful activities with kids. Admittedly, financial restrictions might clip your wings or make you rethink some plans. It was ever thus. You play — you pay.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a wonderful day to entertain at home. In fact, group gatherings for any reason will be a positive experience for you. You might also check out real-estate opportunities. Nevertheless, you can’t ignore obligations you face you right now. That’s the name of the game.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Singer, songwriter Rod Stewart (1945) shares your birthday. You’re self-confident, charming, optimistic and always original. You inspire respect from others. This year is slower-paced. It’s OK to rest. Take time to rejuvenate your energies and focus on those who are kind and helpful to you. It’s OK to get help from others.

Pharmacist fined for dispensing incorrect dosage

Erik Pindera 4 minute read Yesterday at 11:31 AM CDT

A Winnipeg pharmacist has been fined for misconduct after dispensing a mistakenly high dose of an anti-psychotic, harming her patient.

Rumina Ishani was fined $3,500 and ordered to pay $5,000 in costs by the College of Pharmacists of Manitoba earlier this month, after pleading guilty to professional misconduct.

The college, in a written disciplinary decision, said the incident occurred on Aug. 12, 2025, at the Marion Street Shoppers Drug Mart where Ishani worked at the time.

She filled an aripiprazole prescription for a patient that day. The patient had first been given the anti-psychotic at that pharmacy in November 2023 at two milligrams a day for 30 days, and was again prescribed the drug in February 2025 at one mg/day, which was increased to two mg/day in March.

Trump says he expects trade war with Canada to end ‘pretty soon’

The Canadian Press 3 minute read Updated: 4:07 PM CDT

OTTAWA - U.S. President Donald Trump says he expects his constantly evolving trade war with Canada to end "pretty soon" as Prime Minister Mark Carney suggests Washington could be moving closer to Ottawa's demands.

Trump told a rally in Port Huron, Michigan, on Sunday that Canada had been "ripping off" the U.S. on trade and he had no choice but to impose levies on Canadian goods.

He said the trade dispute would be settled "pretty soon" and that Canada was "willing to give us anything at this moment."

At a news conference Monday, Carney was asked if there had been any movement on the trade file in the past week.

‘Exciting’ turn for mayoral candidate Noah Redden as election race enters final stretch

Erik Pindera 5 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 7:14 PM CDT

A small but steady stream of voters arrived at a Portage Avenue diner Sunday to meet Noah Redden, just two days after a new poll suggested the 27-year-old has emerged as a player in Winnipeg’s race for mayor.

Once a low-polling candidate, the software developer is now in third place with 14 per cent support, tied with candidate Mike Vogiatzakis, an Abacus Data survey released Friday shows.

Incumbent Scott Gillingham remains in the lead with the support of 36 per cent of decided voters — 19 percentage points lower than a September survey conducted by Abacus for the Free Press.

The new data placed former city councillor and Progressive Conservative cabinet minister Kevin Klein in second place with 19 per cent support — a drop of four percentage points since September.

School division’s mental-health liaison helps students in crisis access help faster

Kelly-Anne Riess 4 minute read Yesterday at 9:19 AM CDT

A youth experiencing a mental-health crisis at a River East Transcona school was connected with specialized care within hours this fall, offering an early example of how a new partnership is helping students in distress.

After the teen made statements that raised safety concerns, school administrators contacted a newly appointed mental-health crisis liaison, who arrived within 30 minutes, assessed the situation and met with the student, their family and school staff.

By the end of the morning, the student was admitted to a crisis stabilization unit for several days, and arrangements were made for followup therapy.

The intervention was possible because of a pilot partnership between RETSD and The Link: Youth and Family Supports, which began at the start of the school year.

Deer Lodge Centre taking over operations of Charleswood adult day program slated for closure

Carol Sanders 5 minute read Updated: 6:29 PM CDT

An adult day program set to close at the end of the month in Charleswood has been spared.

The provincial government announced Monday that is ensuring adult day programming for seniors continues in the same Charleswood space after Lions Housing Centres announced Oct. 30 would be its last day.

“All of the participants are going to be able to continue at that same location,” Health, Seniors and Long-Term Care Minister Uzoma Asagwara said in an interview Monday.

The funder — the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority — and the operator, Lions Housing Centres, sent a letter Sept. 16 to the 107 day club members and their families informing them of the closure without providing a reason. The letter said the WRHA was working closely with partners to explore options for current participants and individuals on the waiting list and that a home care case co-ordinator would contact them with options to try to meet their needs.

Property tax hike included in Gillingham’s costed platform

Property tax hike included in Gillingham’s costed platform

Joyanne Pursaga 5 minute read Updated: 6:49 PM CDT

Mayoral candidate Scott Gillingham says property taxes will rise another 3.5 per cent in 2027, with no set cap on potential increases in each of the following three years, if he is re-elected as mayor on Wednesday.

A new property tax target would instead be determined by city council for the following three budget years, with a goal to keep annual hikes “close to inflation,” respect affordability and protect essential services, Gillingham said while releasing a costed election platform Monday.

“To say today we’re going to set a (property tax hike) target, set an amount without knowing where the inflationary rates would go would be irresponsible,” he said.

In his 2022 election campaign, Gillingham promised to raise taxes by 3.5 per cent per year. However, the city instead imposed a 5.95 per cent property tax hike in 2025, Winnipeg’s largest single-year increase since the 1990s.
