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

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is a passionate, intense day. Although your impulse is to play and socialize — check out the temperature of the room first. Increased chaos and activity at home are challenging; but fortunately, fair Venus opposite your sign promotes warmth in all your relations.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You might have to go more than halfway when dealing with others because the moon is opposite your sign. Be co-operative and accommodating. Family discussions will be upbeat; however, someone might be stubborn. Work-related relations are mutually supportive.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

What you need is for someone to listen to you. (You like to share your ideas.) You also like to learn new things. Your first impulse is to be of service to others or to help someone if you can. However, steer clear of intense discussions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

With fiery Mars in your sign, you have lots of energy! Although you have a strong focus on money, earnings and cash flow, social outings will appeal to you. Check out sporting events, movies, fun get-togethers and playful activities with kids.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Home and family have your attention. Or perhaps, you want to keep a low profile? A discussion with a female family member is likely. Fortunately, with fair Venus in your house of communications, things will flow smoothly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

When talking to others, you want to have a real, meaningful conversation — not just superficial chit-chat. Therefore, seek out someone who is willing to have a dialogue with you. In particular, competitive sports, athletics and group activities will appeal.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You have a tendency to identify with your possessions. You might consider buying wardrobe items because probably, you will like what you see in the mirror. You might shop for a new look you want to assume. (Of course, Oscar Wilde said, “Be yourself — everyone else is taken.”)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The moon is in your sign, which gives you a slight edge over all the other signs. However, this can make you more emotional than usual. Meanwhile, you create a great impression on everyone because the sun is casting you in a flattering spotlight. A favourable situation!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You’re keen to get out of town or find a change of scenery; nevertheless, now in particular, you’re happy to be low-key and work alone or behind the scenes. Disputes about taxes, debt, credit and shared property might arise. Fortunately, relations with friends and groups are cosy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You’re giving thought to your friendships, which is why contact between you and a friend might be deeper than usual. You might even feel protective or supportive of someone. Be patient with partners and close friends, because Mars opposite your sign might be testy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You are high-viz, which means people notice you more than usual. Be aware of this in case you have to do some damage control. Keep in mind that you need more sleep this week. Fortunately, fiery Mars will help you work with vigour! Go figure.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You’re happy to work and accomplish things this week. You’re also open to socializing and checking out competitive sports. But now in particular, you want to do something different. You want to break free from your routine. Travel would be a nice option. If you can’t travel, then be a tourist in your own city.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Andy Samberg (1978) shares your birthday. You’re farsighted, benevolent and progressive. An independent thinker, you want to improve the lives of others. This is the last year of a nine-year cycle. Take inventory of your life. Let go of people, places and things that have held you back. Do some internal and external housecleaning. Commune with nature.

Carney touts ‘substantial progress’ after Trump delays tariffs for three days

Kelly Geraldine Malone, The Canadian Press 5 minute read Updated: 12:09 AM CDT

WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump announced late Tuesday a last-minute deal to delay new tariffs from slamming an array of Canadian products for three days.

Prime Minister Mark Carney said in response there’s still important work to do.

"Over the last number of weeks, Canada has engaged in intensive discussions with the United States to address outstanding trade issues and deliver greater certainty and real benefits for Canadian businesses, workers, farmers and families," Carney said in a statement.

He said "substantial progress" has been made and Canada is focused on "building a stronger, more independent and more competitive economy at home."

Elevate things between you by breaking ice

Maureen Scurfield 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I work in a high rise downtown and every day I come to work at the same time. I often ride the elevator up with this new guy working a few floors under me. I always feel a little disappointed when he has to get off, and I continue up into the sky.

I’ve worked my way up to speaking pleasantries about the weather, and he responds with cute remarks about the clouds. The good news? He’s not wearing a ring. I also found out his first name from hearing other people say hello to him. Now what?

— Feeling Frustrated! Downtown

Dear Frustrated: Next time you’re on the elevator ride together, say “Hi! My name is such-and-such and I work at such-and-such. Where do you work up here in the clouds?” That should make him smile and break the ice. Then you could consider asking if he might like to join you for a coffee on a work break, if you can co-ordinate it.

No timeline to reopen city-owned fitness facility in North Kildonan after mould discovery

No timeline to reopen city-owned fitness facility in North Kildonan after mould discovery

Joyanne Pursaga 5 minute read Yesterday at 5:29 PM CDT

A city-run fitness centre that suddenly closed for repairs last October lacks a set date to reopen, while an investigation on how best to fix it is underway.

Peguis Trail Health and Fitness Centre in North Kildonan was first expected to welcome visitors back within a few weeks when it shut down due to plumbing problems on Oct. 28.

But in February, the city’s website noted a much later reopening date of Oct. 2 after mould was discovered when crews attempted to upgrade the floors.

The city has since hired a consultant to assess the site’s condition, determine what repairs must be done and estimate how much the work would cost, including mould abatement.

Brandon’s gas plant: a health decision

Riley De Blonde and Scott Blyth 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

Imagine a Manitoba in which our lives are powered by clean, affordable electricity that Manitobans own and which doesn’t pollute the air and water we depend on.

That future is within reach and, as doctors, we know it would protect people’s health now and for many generations.

Instead, Manitoba Hydro wants to spend $3 billion on three new gas-fired turbines in Brandon.The Public Utilities Board is now considering this proposal, before our provincial leaders make a final decision that could lock us into burning harmful fossil fuels for decades.

Every day doctors witness the toll of air pollution, hotter summers and smokier skies on our patients — the child struggling through an asthma attack in the emergency room, the senior dangerously overheating during a heat wave. These health crises are not inevitable. They are the consequence of decisions, by governments and corporations, to keep burning fossil fuels.
