MOON ALERT: Caution! Be careful. Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions all day today. The moon is in Virgo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Although you might be focused on work, your best bet is to relax as much as possible and focus on artistic, creative projects. After all, you are the artisan of the zodiac. (You can do anything with your hands.) This entire day is a moon alert, which is excellent for creativity and shmoozing!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

This is the perfect day to entertain at home. It’s also a good day to explore fun activities with kids, sporting events, the arts, romantic dates and a pleasant stroll outside, especially if you check out other people’s gardens. This entire day is a moon alert. Restrict spending to food and gas.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Despite a restless feeling you might have to get out and do something. Because of the placement of the moon, you will also enjoy relaxing at home and taking it easy. Romance might be very promising. (One can always hope.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Seek out siblings, relatives and neighbours, because you’re eager to share your thoughts. A short trip might appeal. Be aware there’s a moon alert all day, so restrict your spending to food and gas. Avoid important decisions. Don’t volunteer for anything.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Be careful! With the sun, Mercury and Jupiter in your sign, you’re ready to set out doing exactly what you want. However, all day is a moon alert! Furthermore, the moon is in your money house. (Gulp.) Definitely restrict spending to food and gas. Make no important decisions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The moon is in your sign and for this entire day, there’s a moon alert. Be aware of this! Don’t volunteer for anything. Don’t agree to anything important. Avoid important decisions. Restrict spending to food and gas. However — have fun! Be creative! Socialize!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’re popular! And because there’s a moon alert all day, it’s a wonderful day to shmooz and socialize with everyone. Just remember not to agree to anything important or make big decisions. And don’t shop! (Except for food and gas.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Travel appeals. Your ability to talk to authority figures is strong now. However, because there’s a moon alert all day, keep things light. Get information but make no decisions. Restrict spending to food and gas. Get your info and wait until tomorrow to act.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You’re high-viz. People notice you. This is fine but don’t stick your neck out by making important declarations. Avoid big decisions. Don’t volunteer for anything, because there’s a moon alert all day. Don’t shop. (Except food and gas.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You make a lovely impression on everyone. Someone might ask for your advice about how to make something more attractive. However, it is a poor day to answer important questions due to the moon alert all day. Restrict spending. Enjoy socializing and learning from others.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

A friendship or a romantic interest might begin with someone “different,” because romance is favoured right now. However, you have the energy to work hard even if you face shortages and delays due to the moon alert all day.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

It’s in your best interest to be co-operative and accommodating with someone else. It’s important to know there’s a moon alert in effect all day which means avoiding spending money and making important decisions. But you can carry on “as usual” with your work.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor, comedian, musician Steve Martin (1945) shares your birthday. You’re observant and you love to express yourself. You are incisive, strong-willed and outgoing. Exciting changes will bring you increased personal freedom this year. Let go of whatever has been holding you back. Seek out new opportunities and be ready to act fast. Trust your intuition. Expect to travel.

City charter ties council’s hands in wake of criminal allegations against Transcona councillor

Joyanne Pursaga 6 minute read Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2026

In the wake of additional criminal charges laid against Transcona Coun. Russ Wyatt, several council members say the city should explore options to impose leaves of absence on elected officials who face serious allegations in the future.

Wyatt, 56, was charged Monday with sexual assault and administering a noxious thing with intent to aggrieve or annoy in relation to an October 2023 incident. The councillor was previously charged with sexual assault and administering a noxious substance in March, based on allegations tied to a 2025 gathering.

Under the City of Winnipeg charter, a provincial law, a member of city council automatically forfeits their seat if they are convicted of certain serious criminal offences. It does not apply if they are simply charged.

Mayor Scott Gillingham and others have urged Wyatt to step away from his city hall duties voluntarily, while Gillingham has also suggested the province review the legislation.

Unsafe conditions force Sea Bears, Honey Badgers into winner-take-all CEBL final in Winnipeg Saturday

Joshua Frey-Sam 4 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 2:49 PM CDT

BRAMPTON — The Canadian Elite Basketball League’s new Finals format lasted one minute and 46 seconds.

And it’s possible even that was too long.

What was supposed to be a historic best-of-three series between the Winnipeg Sea Bears and the Brampton Honey Badgers will now return to the league’s previous format of a single-game elimination. Wednesday’s Game 1 at the CAA Centre in Southern Ontario was cancelled shortly after tip-off due to condensation on the court, which made the playing surface unsafe for competition.

The championship will flip to the Manitoba capital for a single, winner-take-all contest at Canada Life Centre on Saturday (2:30 p.m.).

Opaskwayak restorative justice court to give offenders opportunity to ‘heal’

Erik Pindera 5 minute read Yesterday at 6:00 AM CDT

The Manitoba government, provincial court and Opaskwayak Cree Nation are signing a memorandum of understanding today to establish a community-led court focused on Indigenous restorative justice principles.

Justice Minister Matt Wiebe is in the northern First Nation, which neighbours The Pas, to attend this week’s Opaskwayak Indigenous Days summer festival, ahead of the signing of the nation-to-nation agreement after a pipe ceremony today.

“This is really a pivotal marker on the path to reconciliation for our justice system and an incredible opportunity to begin the process of reconciling the two systems of justice, that being the traditional Indigenous justice system with our colonial system,” Wiebe told the Free Press on Wednesday.

“I’m just excited to be here to have the opportunity to formally mark the collaboration, but really to listen and to hear from community about the best ways, the best path forward.”

Signs the Carney approach is working

Editorial 4 minute read Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2026

It was, if nothing else, a glowing review in trying times.

Matt Winkler, the editor in chief emeritus of Bloomberg News, spoke last week on Bloomberg Business News Daily about a recent Bloomberg analysis of the performance of the Canadian economy, and this country as a target for investment

“This is one of the greatest periods for overseas investment in Canada that we’ve seen in the century, and it may be unprecedented, because we have to wait for the rest of the year. … Money is pouring into Canada like we have not seen from everywhere. Stocks and bonds are the obvious beneficiaries,” Winkler said. He argued that Canada is both liked and seen as reasonable.

“The point is… Canada since Mark Carney became prime minister in 2025, has outperformed everyone in America and also the Eurozone and anywhere in the world. The 10 largest stock markets in the world, Canada appreciated the most, more than 40 per cent. … Its bond market is also doing great, partially because the inflation rate in Canada, unlike the Eurozone or America, is actually trending lower, and is outperforming both the Eurozone and the U.S.”

Rainbow Stage star relates to Elle Woods’ perseverance

Ben Waldman 4 minute read Yesterday at 5:00 AM CDT

Nearly 9,000 aspiring barristers and solicitors cross their fingers and send in their LSAT scores to Harvard University each year, but less than 10 per cent of applicants wind up on campus in Cambridge, Mass.

In Legally Blonde, the musical opening tonight at Rainbow Stage, Elle Woods (Claire Mac Master) defies the undercutting judgment of her blue-blood boyfriend Warner (Duncan Cox) to earn a spot in the Ivy League, leaving her doubters aghast and crimson-faced.

“What?” asked Elle — played by Reese Witherspoon in the 2001 film version — “Like it’s hard?”

The New York-born Mac Master never had any aspirations to pursue a law career, but can relate to her character’s plucky self-determination based on her experience at Toronto Metropolitan University’s undergraduate acting program, which accepts 25 applicants each year from an international pool of hundreds.

City Lego seller continues to build up its business

Gabrielle Piché 5 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

Brick by brick, a Winnipeg Lego seller is building its third expansion — in less than two years.

The Little Brick Market Co.’s new shop was mainly a blank slate Thursday.

A case of Lord of the Rings figurines rested against a wall. In a week, a corner nearby should have some 1,350 minifigures displayed for sale.

Staff are hauling in more than 2,000 Lego sets, two “pick a brick” tables and retro Lego magazines for reading.
