ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Parents should keep an eye on their kids. Surprise invitations and romantic encounters might make this an exciting day for you. Do not let your courageous impulses be dampened by parents, authority figures or critics. Believe in yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Stock the fridge because something unexpected might take place at home. Surprise company might drop by. Important family discussions might suddenly take place. Don’t fall prey to worry. “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You’re full of electric energy and impulsive ideas. You might want to help a friend or become involved in a charitable group. However, raising money or securing resources from a third-party could be a problem. Fear not, because you have the energy and ingenuity to find a way.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Make friends with your bank account because something unpredictable could impact your earnings, possessions and wealth. On the upside, it could be a clever idea. Don’t let a partner, spouse or close friend discourage you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might have some bold and daring impulses, especially if you’re acting with a friend or a group. Your interest in the arts, as well as for those who are less fortunate, is strong, however, the demands of your work or health might put a damper on your plans.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Whatever happens, you will be charming and diplomatic because fair Venus is in your sign. This is a restless day for you. Don’t be discouraged if a friend or member of a group is critical. Trust your feelings and a desire to help others.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Unexpected help from a friend or member of a group might make a difference in your plans to travel, explore further education, or deal with medical or legal matters. Certainly, a partner or close friend is willing to help. Don’t be discouraged by critical authority figures.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are high-viz and you might use this to make positive changes at work, or to help a colleague or someone in the medical field. Unexpected resources — money and practical goods — might come your way. Do not be deterred by news in the media or critics.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Sudden chances to travel or explore opportunities in higher education, publishing, medicine and the law might fall into your lap. Be ready to act quickly because this window of opportunity will be brief. Finances might be a barrier — perhaps because of someone’s negative thinking.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Surprise gifts, favours and assistance from others might make a difference to your plans, especially related to home and family. Work with what you’ve got because you are resourceful. Don’t let naysayers or critical partners make you second-guess yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

A friend or even a member of the general public might help you in an unexpected way. Accept surprise invitations to socialize. Someone might be influenced by your sympathetic ideas or inspired by your compassion. Don’t be discouraged by work issues.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Something unexpected, but encouraging, might arise related to your job or health. You might see exciting possibilities. Be prepared to act on them quickly, because this window of opportunity could be brief. Children might be an increased responsibility. Cope as best you can.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Cliff Curtis (1975) shares your birthday. You’re energetic, passionate and committed. You throw yourself wholeheartedly into whatever you pursue with single-minded determination. This year you reap the benefits of your past efforts. Increased power and leadership will help you seize opportunities when they arise. Expect promotions, awards, kudos and acknowledgement.

An eroding Winnipeg neighbourhood looks to new foundations

Ian Bickis, The Canadian Press 6 minute read Updated: 10:45 AM CDT

WINNIPEG - The lot Jesse Bettcher lives on in Winnipeg's North End used to be a pile of burnt rubble. Same with the one next door. And the one across the street.

But he's now the proud owner of a two-storey house with blue-grey siding and white trim, so new the orange construction fencing is still out front.

It's a dream home for Bettcher, and the latest hope for a city seeking to knock down, clean up and revitalize neighbourhoods that have seen hundreds of homes left vacant, leading to safety hazards and worries about the future.

He bought the house as part of a pilot project aimed at creating affordable home ownership. It let him and his family move out of a rental that he said was falling apart.

Automation reaches new heights on farm

Laura Rance-Unger 4 minute read Saturday, Jul. 25, 2026

LANGHAM, Sask. — The thousands of farmers from across the Prairies who flock to the annual Ag in Motion show every July seem oblivious to the possibility the technology on display could one day replace many of them.

Families with children in tow, Hutterite colony workers, grandparents and young couples just starting out roamed through the 600 or more exhibitor displays, amazed at how everything about farming just keeps getting bigger, more efficient and increasingly more automated.

It’s now possible to seed using a 100-foot-wide drill — a 12-foot jump over the widest available a few years ago — provided the farmer can afford a tractor with enough horsepower to pull it. Those sell for around $850,000 and up.

Granted, the number of farms with enough acres to justify that kind of width and drawing power is still relatively small, but farms continue to grow. And it’s no secret the number of people who have the interest, skills and financial wherewithal to run them continues to shrink.

Qualico celebrating 75 years of growth, success since its first development of 13 bungalows in River Heights

Aaron Epp 6 minute read 6:00 AM CDT

The first things staff and visitors see after ascending to the third floor of Qualico’s head office in Winnipeg are two statues — one each for company founders David and Katherine Friesen.

Flanking the doors to the integrated real estate company’s C-suite offices, the bronze sculptures are monuments to the couple and the vision, strength and integrity (as the plaques attached to the wooden pedestals attest) it took to start Qualico in 1951.

But imagine for a moment what it would be like if the sculptures were less reverent and more whimsical. Picture them outfitted with the kind of pull-string voice boxes one finds in a child’s toy. What might they say?

It’s possible one of David Friesen’s phrases would be: “No margin, no mission.”

Ref ‘dominates’ game in Sea Bears loss to Honey Badgers, says coach

Joshua Frey-Sam 7 minute read Saturday, Jul. 25, 2026

Following a festive Christmas-in-July-themed Saturday afternoon inside Canada Life Centre, Winnipeg Sea Bears head coach Mike Raimbault didn’t mince words about who he thought was the Grinch in a hard-fought 88-86 loss to the visiting Brampton Honey Badgers that ended in controversy.

As the Sea Bears owned a one-point lead in Target Score Time, Brampton guard Sean East II was awarded three free throws — all of which he converted — after a questionable foul called on Teddy Allen by official Perry Stothart.

Raimbault, who has been known to bite his tongue on such topics, left nothing to the imagination about where he stood on the game-deciding judgment made in a game that had major post-season implications.

“I just felt like it was a fitting ending to the game where Perry Stothart had dominated the flow of the game from the start,” he said. “For him to call a bit of a guess foul and end the game on the foul, I felt like it’s disappointing that he can come in and dictate how the game’s going to be played and flow, and (that) continues to be a bit of an M.O. for him. So I think we’re disappointed with the fact that the league continues to let that happen.”
