ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Although mild quarrels might arise about how to share the expense of something — don’t let this rankle you. Instead focus on socializing, the arts, sports and fun activities with kids. This is a great day to shmooz!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Tread carefully when talking to family members, spouses, partners and close friends, because things are tense. Furthermore, Mars in your house of communications makes you more aggressive. Pull in your reins a bit. Keep things light.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

There are two options available to you, which is quite appropriate for a Gemini (the twins). You can get caught up in squabbles with siblings, relatives, neighbours and work colleagues; or you can play hooky and have fun doing whatever you want. (No-brainer.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Romantic partners must be patient with each other. Likewise, parents must be patient with their kids. Meanwhile, it’s the perfect day to redecorate and tweak your digs. You might even entertain. Get some physical exercise. (Even dancing for three minutes.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

The sun, Mercury and Jupiter are in your sign; however, the moon is at odds with the sun triggering domestic arguments and tension with people at home. Fortunately, fair Venus in your house of communications will smooth your words. Dish out the sweetness.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Something going on behind the scenes might make you feel disgruntled. This mood might affect how you speak to others. Not good. Instead, throw your energy into interacting with friends, groups and organizations. You might also buy something beautiful.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This continues to be a great time for you to buy wardrobe items, which is not a bad idea because you like to present well. Did you know the sign of Libra has domain over haute couture? This is why you always look good. Avoid money squabbles. Use your energy to work.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The moon is in your sign at odds with the sun — right at the top of your chart. This means you should avoid quarrels and power struggles with bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police. Instead dabble in secret love affairs or explore avenues in travel, medicine, the law and publishing. Stay out of trouble.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Steer clear of controversial subjects, because they will irk you. (Naturally, you have opinions.) Instead, decide to have fun with a friend or group. Explore new ideas and try to learn something novel. It’s also a passionate day. Hmmm.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Avoid squabbles with a friend. Likewise, don’t get caught up fighting with a member of a group, because what’s the point? The day is challenging, because even partners and close friends might annoy you. Instead, focus on goals, career and chalking up some brownie points with bosses, parents and authority figures.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

There’s a high probability you might have a public argument with someone; in fact, you might be at odds with a boss, parent, teacher, VIP or the police. This is not a good idea. The upside is not favourable. Your best option is to work hard and get organized. That’s a winning choice.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Don’t get bogged down in arguments about politics, religion or racial issues, which is easy to do! Instead, focus on socializing with others, exploring sports, enjoying playful times with kids and expressing your creative talents. Great choice.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Fashion designer Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel (1883-1971) shares your birthday. You’re dynamic, focused and organized. You present a serious face to the world and have a desire to change society. This is a year of new beginnings, adventures and major changes. Grab new opportunities and be ready to act. What you do now will bring great benefits in the future.

Bombers get ‘whooped’ in Montreal

Taylor Allen 5 minute read Yesterday at 11:32 PM CDT

MONTREAL — It’s hard to fathom that the Winnipeg Blue Bombers smacked these Montreal Alouettes five weeks ago.

The team that pulled off that 44-28 upset at Princess Auto Stadium was nowhere to be found in La Belle Province on Saturday night.

You can, however, now find them in the basement of the West Division at 7-8 after getting completely outmatched and outclassed by the Als in a 37-10 beatdown.

“This was bad,” left tackle Stanley Bryant told the Free Press postgame. “They basically had their way all around. They whooped our ass.”

Manitoba’s own Summer Howell takes on biggest role yet as Stephen King’s telekinetic teen Carrie

Randall King 7 minute read Friday, Oct. 2, 2026

From the tender age of eight, actress Summer Howell has made her presence known in a series of horror films shot in her home province of Manitoba.

Her first film was Curse of Chucky (2013), director Don Mancini’s continuation of the venerable killer doll series he started (as a screenwriter) in 1988 with Child’s Play.

“Even then, it was obvious she was very talented, intelligent and delightful,” Mancini said of Howell.

Though she has worked in other genres, Howell gravitated to horror repeatedly, with credits in Shawn Linden’s harrowing Hunter Hunter (2020) and the 2023 possession thriller All Fun and Games. Earlier this year, she shot the horror film Sundown in Winnipeg with director Rebekah McKendry, which premièred last week at Beyond Fest in Los Angeles and is headed for a streaming berth on Shudder.

Broadening prediction-market gambling a bad idea

Editorial 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

Let’s make a prediction: sooner or later, when Canadian governments find a way to take their own cut of the action, prediction-contract gambling on everything from sports to entertainment to political decisions is going to come to Canada.

And that’s a horrible, dangerous, pernicious idea.

Unless you have particular access to information — either inside information or strategic information based on skills or education — you’re not likely to make money at it. In fact, structurally, you’re likely to lose. In prediction markets, you basically pay an amount, plus fees from the company involved, to bet on whether something will or will not happen within a certain time frame. The amount you pay for your contract depends on how other people are also betting.

As Wealthsimple describes it, “You buy whichever side you think is right. Prices move with demand, so if the market leans towards one outcome, the more that side costs. If a lot of people are backing the TSX to finish above 38,000, yes gets more expensive and no gets cheaper.”

A morning in the life …

My very first lesson does not start when I walk into that lecture hall, oh no — it starts long before. It begins when I walk to my car, check the estimated arrival time to the University of Manitoba and hope that Winnipeg traffic agrees with it.

A drive that appears completely manageable changes almost immediately when I’m greeted by a tsunami of orange pylons and a line of cars that appears to go on forever. Traffic moves by the inch, lanes magically disappear and the detour I took yesterday now has a detour of its own. These factors make me do a calculation that I have become all too familiar with. How late can I arrive and still find parking, run to my class across campus and get to class with enough time left to make it worth it?

I have grown used to people saying, “Why not just leave earlier?” I do. But when I’m already leaving for my 8:30 a.m. class at 7 a.m., there’s only so much I can do. This drive that some would think is relaxing is one that feels like an assignment that I didn’t know I had to complete and is due at 8:30 a.m.
