MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions after 9 p.m. today. The moon is in Scorpio.

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.

Men accused in commercial break-in spree were wearing ankle bracelets

Erik Pindera 5 minute read Monday, Aug. 17, 2026

Two men in electric ankle bracelets who were being monitored by justice officials have been accused in a two-month spree of commercial break-ins, vehicle thefts and other property crimes.

City police have charged one of the suspects and are searching for the second.

About $140,000 worth of property, including trailers, lawn equipment, motorcycles and bicycles, was reported stolen in 13 incidents in Winnipeg and the Rural Municipality of Headingley between April 20 and June 28, the Winnipeg Police Service said.

Both suspects were wearing electronic monitoring bracelets during that time.

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.

Working together in a trade war

Working together in a trade war

Norman Brandson 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

In the Second World War, a grand coalition, held together politically by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, succeeded in defeating Nazi Germany, after many bumps in the road. The rich history of this period reinforces the truism that coalitions — bringing together parties of divergent strength and interests to face together a common challenge — are fraught with many points of potential fracture.

Canada was not only a partner in the great international war effort but also fashioned a national coalition — presided over by Prime Minister Mackenzie King — necessitated by the federalist nature of our government. It worked after a fashion — conscription notwithstanding — and we emerged as a trusted friend and ally of our southern neighbour.

Oh, how times have changed. We are again faced with an existential threat; not to be compared to a world war, but serious enough given it’s posed not by a distant foe on another continent, but by the most powerful country in the world, with whom we share 8,800 kilometres of heretofore undefended border.

The unprovoked attack on Canada has been economic; tariffs, threats of tariffs, scrapped trade agreements and so forth — measures that have already had significant impact and promise to escalate. How does a country of 10 quasi-independent provinces with a national government constitutionally pre-eminent in international relations respond?

New Bannatyne eatery brings feast of Asian flavours

Eva Wasney 4 minute read Yesterday at 4:29 PM CDT

Matriarchal influences run deep at House of Ma Kitchen and Bar.

Executive chef Dom Merano took inspiration from his mom’s home cooking while developing the menu for the new Exchange District restaurant — specifically Cynthia Merano’s recipes for lumpia (Filipino spring rolls) and kare-kare (braised beef and peanut stew).

“It tastes like home,” Merano says of the dishes, adding that his mom “felt honoured to be able to share her cooking with people. She was actually here prior to opening helping me roll lumpia.”

Cynthia’s photo is hung among the “Wall of Mas” at the back of the restaurant, where the mothers and grandmothers of True Hospitality staff are given pride of place.

An ambassador, a petition and 213,000 signatures

An ambassador, a petition and 213,000 signatures

Editorial 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:00 AM CDT

You have to admit, they have a point.

As of 7 a.m. on Monday, 209,909 Canadians had signed it. By 9:41 a.m., that number had reached 211,846. By 10:54 a.m., 213,124. And there are months left to sign.

It is an electronic petition to have the U.S. Ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra, ousted and sent back to Trump’s America.

The reasons? Well, ambassadors are meant to represent the national positions of their governments and you could argue that Hoekstra is doing exactly that: his blunt pronouncements on things such as Canadian sovereignty sound very much like the words of one Donald Trump, President of the United States.
