Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon star Michelle Yeoh is 64 today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

The moon is in your sign dancing beautifully with Mercury, which will increase the pace of your day and attract others to you. It will be a chatty day. You might be keen to share your feelings or write down something for someone else to read. Plans to solidify your home look solid.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Someone older might have advice for you. Possibly, you are the person dispensing advice. This is a good day to learn something new because you have the discipline and focus necessary to make it happen; plus, you won’t overlook details.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

It’s the perfect day to draw up a budget and think about how to use your money as economically as possible. (Right up your alley. Let’s face it, you wrote the book.) You might give advice to a boss or someone in authority; or a boss might have advice for you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

A conversation with a parent, boss or someone in authority could be important. It might be your chance to share your feelings about something. You want to organize your life with an overall plan. (Always a good idea.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

If you have a chance for some time alone, you might do some deep thinking. This is also a good day to think about how you can expand your world through travel, learning, study and talking to different people.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Discussions with partners, spouses and close friends will be serious but meaningful. Advice might flow back and forth. Someone might give someone else a hint about how to talk to a boss or a parent. You’re focused more on solid, practical issues.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You’ll make a great impression on bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs because they see you as reliable, conscientious and hard-working. Spouses, partners and close friends will see you as bright, clever and interesting. You’ve got your bases covered.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is the perfect day to study, write or review an important paper because your mind will be detail-oriented and self-disciplined. You’ll have a practical approach to dealing with kids, as well as social events. You might have ideas about covering the cost of something.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a solid day to discuss how to divide assets, share the cost of something or deal with inheritances, taxes and debt. Very likely, it could relate to family matters or something to do with your home. A partner or friend might keep things lighthearted.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

When talking to someone close, you’ll steer the conversation in the direction you want it to go. You know what’s important to you, and you’ll discuss it. You don’t want to waste anything. You’ll get great satisfaction from a job well done.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a productive day. You’ll keep plugging along at whatever you have to do with your job, health or a pet. You’ll enjoy little intervals and breaks where you can “chat over the fence” with someone in a lighthearted way.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actress Michelle Yeoh (1962) shares your birthday. You are charming, strong-willed and open-minded. You’re also perceptive, independent and determined. This is a year of service to others, probably to family. Therefore, take care of yourself so you can be a resource to those who turn to you for guidance, comfort and courage. Time for a personal makeover?

Hydro debt is good debt

Re: It may be frustrating, but it’s necessary (Editorial, July 29)

As the former senior vice-president and chief financial officer for Manitoba Hydro, I cringe whenever I see negative references in the media and elsewhere regarding Manitoba Hydro’s long-term debt. What’s missing from such references (the most recent being the July 29 editorial in which it’s stated that “… capital missteps have helped saddle the utility with $25.34 billion in debt”) is that Hydro’s debt is totally offset by valuable revenue-producing assets and that all related debt will be fully repaid over the productive lives of those assets.

Electricity and natural gas rates, approved by the Public Utilities Board, are structured to recover Hydro’s day-to-day operating, maintenance and administrative (OM&A) expenses as well as all debt servicing (interest) and debt repayment (principal) costs. Rather than being a burden on future generations, as debt is so often and incorrectly characterized, ratepayers will continue to reap the benefits of Hydro’s investments in capital assets for generations to come.

Concordia doctor denies responsibility for Calgary man’s permanent disability

Erik Pindera 4 minute read Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2026

A Concordia Hospital doctor accused in a negligence lawsuit after a Calgary man was left permanently disabled when he was given a massive overdose of a powerful sedative has denied she ordered he be given the drug.

Zachary Hoogerdyk’s father, Edward Hoogerdyk, and the Alberta government filed their statement of claim earlier this year in Court of King’s Bench naming the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, provincial health agency Shared Health, Concordia Hospital, Dr. Anna Ziomek and two other hospital staff as defendants.

Hoogerdyk, who was 23 at the time, went to Concordia’s urgent-care centre with flu-like symptoms and worsening breathing difficulties on March 25, 2024 while he was in Winnipeg on business and to visit family, the lawsuit says.

The claim alleges Ziomek diagnosed Hoogerdyk with low levels of oxygen in his blood and a strain of the flu, before ordering him to be intubated.

Government overrides school board in ‘mature minor’ controversy

Maggie Macintosh 5 minute read Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2026

The Manitoba government has vetoed the Steinbach school board’s plan to override common law by making parents the ultimate authority on all student health issues.

Since Hanover School Division trustees approved a motion to disregard the category of “mature minors” just over two months ago, there has been widespread debate.

Trustees unanimously voted to stop honouring the mature minor doctrine — in which teenagers 16 and older are automatically assumed to have the maturity to make medical decisions for themselves — at the end of the 2025-26 school year.

“We would just encourage the Hanover School Division to do what they do best, which is providing high-level, quality education for the kids in their community,” Education Minister Tracy Schmidt said in an interview on Tuesday about her July 22 directive to the board to repeal its motion.

Mattress upgrade sure to support camp romps

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

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: Help us. We simply can’t go camping again and have the kind of wild sex we want if we don’t make some changes.

Our cheap older air mattress rolled us both to the middle on our last trip — and not in a romantic way. And it squeaked for anybody nearby to hear. We need an upgrade. Any suggestions?

— Camping Lovers, Whiteshell

Dear Camping Lovers: Hybrid air and foam self-inflating camp mattresses are the way to go for you two. The best camping mattress for sex offers a supportive surface and minimal squeaking.
