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

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Please know there’s a moon alert all day. Meanwhile, you’re high-viz. People notice you more than usual. You might have important discussions with bosses, parents, VIPs or the police. If so, agree to nothing important. Don’t volunteer for anything. Stay chill.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

This is a playful, creative day! Artists can make art and explore new ideas because this entire day is a moon alert, which means your mind is wide open — floating like helium balloon let loose in the sky. Jot down your ideas.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Be extra careful, because this entire day is a moon alert, which means restricting your spending to food and gas. Postpone important decisions. Meanwhile, this moon alert is taking place in one of your money houses, which means you’ll be tempted to do some financial wheeling and dealing.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

This day has its challenges. There’s a moon alert taking place opposite your sign. Don’t agree to anything important. Restrict spending to food and gas. Get physical exercise. Do something to blow off pent-up steam that might be building up within you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Be careful. The sun and Mercury are both in your money house; however, there’s a moon alert all day, which is unusual. Restrict spending to food and gas. Avoid important decisions. Expect shortages at work. Fortunately, your communications with others are charming.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a powerful time for you because the sun is in your sign, and tomorrow your ruler Mercury moves into your sign as well. In the meantime, all day is a moon alert, which will heighten your creative juices. Explore the arts. Enjoy socializing. Restrict spending to food and gas.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is the perfect day to shmooz and do as little as possible. Enjoy the company of others, because this entire day is a moon alert, which certainly discourages spending. (Except for food and gas.) Relax with friends or cocoon at home.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

There is a moon alert in effect all day, and it might impact your movements, conversations and transportation patterns. Delays and shortages are classic. Meanwhile, restrict your spending to food and gas. This is a great day to socialize. Wait until tomorrow to act.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Be careful, as there’s a moon alert in effect all day and it’s taking place in your primary money house. Therefore, do not make financial decisions. Don’t spend money for anything other than food and gas. On the other hand, it’s a great day to socialize and explore creative projects.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

There is a moon alert in your sign all day! You might feel vaguely hesitant. There might be a dreamy quality present. However, a moon alert is a wonderful time to be creative and socialize with others, even though it’s a poor time to spend money or make important decisions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your best approach to this day is to be low-key or to work alone or behind the scenes. Because a moon alert is in effect all day, restrict your spending to food and gas. Postpone important decisions. Work hard and carry on as usual.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a lovely day to shmooz with friends and members of groups; however, do not agree to anything important as there is a moon alert in effect all day. Don’t volunteer for anything. Explore the arts and enjoy good times.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Bit of creepy consultation could go a long way

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: Halloween has always been my favourite time of year. I do my house up with lots of spooky lighting and characters on the lawn with eerie sounds booming out.

But last year I got seriously hassled by some people in the neighbourhood who thought it was too creepy. How do I get them on board this year? I don’t want to fight with them again.

— Want to Be Good Neighbour, River Heights

Dear Good Neighbour: Go to your close neighbours and explain what you want to do with your yard for Halloween this year, and also provide them with a firm time by which the celebrating will wrap up and things can quiet down.

Ladies and gentlemen of voting age, please turn your attention to the centre ring…

Dan Lett 5 minute read Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2026

If there’s one thing that we in the news business wish for any election, it’s that the campaign is competitive and voters have multiple, viable options when it comes time to cast their ballots.

That is certainly what I wished for in this year’s Winnipeg mayoral election: a ballot with two or more competent candidates — including incumbent Scott Gillingham — that offered contrasting visions for the future of the city.

Unfortunately, this time we didn’t get competent or viable. Instead, we got a clown show stuffed with candidates for mayor who have demonstrated a stunning capacity for self-inflicted wounds.

It all started when mayoral candidates Kevin Klein and Mike Vogiatzakis both alleged they had been asked by each other’s campaign to step down to give the remaining candidate a better shot at defeating Gillingham.

Other cities build rapid transit, while we wait

Other cities build rapid transit, while we wait

Ken Klassen 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

Winnipeg’s civic election campaign has produced no shortage of promises to improve transit safety and fix problems with the new network. Those issues are real and urgent. But they should not distract from a larger failure — while other Canadian urban regions secure billions in federal support to transform their transit systems, Winnipeg is falling further behind.

The Winnipeg Transit Master Plan, approved in 2021, sets the right vision — frequent, reliable service anchored by an expanded bus rapid transit (BRT) network. Yet not a single additional BRT corridor has been approved for construction. The modest network proposed in the plan is not projected to be completed until 2045 or beyond. Despite that, city council voted this summer to delay updating the master plan by two years.

The full BRT network was estimated at $588 million to $1.1 billion in 2020 — or roughly $720 million to $1.34 billion today, after accounting for construction inflation. That is substantial, but modest compared with what other cities are spending. Calgary, Edmonton, Hamilton, Ottawa and Quebec City have rapid transit projects under way or recently completed, totalling about $26 billion and backed by $7.3 billion in federal commitments. Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal are spending billions more with federal support.

Other cities build. Winnipeg waits.

Police on scene at Fairmont hotel construction site

1 minute read Updated: 12:19 AM CDT

At least three police cars were present at the under-construction Fairmont Winnipeg Thursday evening.

The nature of the response was unclear, but officers were guiding traffic outside of the construction zone at 2 Lombard Place while the response was underway. At 6:50 p.m., traffic was flowing normally.

Security on site provided no information on the response, but an individual working behind site fencing told the Free Press there’d be no comment from anyone on site as to why police were on scene at this time.

An SUV with a Government of Manitoba logo on its side was also present alongside personnel from Manitoba Workplace Safety and Health. However, it’s unknown if it’s connected to the police response.

Booze sales down, gaming and cannabis up in Manitoba

Booze sales down, gaming and cannabis up in Manitoba

Carol Sanders 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

MANITOBA Liquor and Lotteries delivered $724.1 million in profits to the province in 2025-26, with the lion’s share coming from alcohol, even as booze sales continue to shrink.

The Crown corporation’s contribution to Manitoba’s general revenues decreased by $6 million or 0.8 per cent from last year’s allocation of $730.1 million, its annual report shows.

That indicates stable overall performance “despite a changing operating environment,” the recently-released report said.

Those changes include the order from Premier Wab Kinew last year to remove U.S. alcohol from Liquor Mart store shelves after President Donald Trump launched a trade war against Canada as well as Manitobans’ changing tastes.

PCs renew calls for CFS inquiry

PCs renew calls for CFS inquiry

Carol Sanders 6 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 7:54 PM CDT

The Progressive Conservatives renewed calls to put Manitoba’s child and welfare system under the microscope Thursday, tabling a motion that urged the province to appoint a commissioner to lead a public inquiry.

Families critic Jodie Byram’s opposition day motion, which was ultimately defeated by the NDP majority, reiterated demands for an inquiry into the systemic failures of Child and Family Services, more than 20 years after the death of Phoenix Sinclair first prompted demands for answers.

“We have seen far too many children die under the care of CFS, and we need to determine where the gaps are in the system in order to make the system a safer place for children,” Byram told reporters before the motion was defeated in the legislature.

Families Minister Nahanni Fontaine said in an interview that her department, CFS agencies and authorities are “doing good work” and won’t call an inquiry.
