MOON ALERT: After 4:30 p.m. today, avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions for the rest of the day. The moon is in Aquarius.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is an excellent day for a practical discussion with someone older or more experienced. This might happen by talking to a partner, close friend or member of the general public. It’s a positive day to shmooz. Check moon alert if spending money.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You’re high-viz, which means people notice you more than usual. This will probably benefit those of you at work because relations with co-workers are mutually supportive. You might also benefit from behind-the-scenes research.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

This is the perfect day to explore avenues in publishing, the media, medicine and the law — but do so before the moon alert. Romance with someone different might begin. You might also welcome the advice of someone who is older or more experienced. (You don’t have to reinvent the wheel.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

It’s fortunate you have some strong energy now with fiery Mars in your sign. In fact, it will stay there for another month! Meanwhile, discussions about shared property and banking could benefit home and family for you. Someone has your back.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a great day to shmooz with others! It’s curious, because even though you will be charming and diplomatic with everyone, it’s in your best interests to go more than halfway when dealing with others. Be accommodating and co-operative.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might be interested in buying beautiful things like clothing, dish ware, jewelry and artwork — whatever strikes your fancy. If so, be aware of the limitations of the moon alert (see above). Meanwhile, financial discussions will likely benefit you. Keep your pockets open!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’ll enjoy socializing with others. Romantic connections will particularly appeal. If shopping for wardrobe goodies, be aware of the limitations of the moon alert (see above). You have a soft spot in your heart for someone.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

A practical discussion with someone older, perhaps a family member, might introduce improvements at home or within the family. You might also be prepared to confide in someone about a secret flirtation or love affair. Continue to enjoy the company of others, especially younger people.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Conversations with neighbours, siblings and relatives will please you. In fact, someone older might have advice for you, especially related to a vacation, your kids, sports or the arts. Be reasonable if you face a dispute with someone about shared expenses. Meanwhile, a casual friendship might turn flirtatious?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Financial discussions will go well if you keep an eye on the restrictions of the moon alert. Bosses and authority figures will favour you. As a result, you might be able to benefit home and family in a practical way. Naturally, this will please you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You’re in the driver’s seat because the moon is in your sign dancing beautifully with both Saturn and Venus. It’s a great day to make travel plans. An attraction to someone “different” might occur. Meanwhile, everyday discussions will be down-to-earth and practical.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Work going on behind the scenes will benefit you. In fact, it could trigger money coming your way. If spending, you’ll be careful and frugal. Keep an eye on the moon alert and its financial restrictions. Nevertheless, this is also a fun day to socialize and explore sporting events and playful activities with kids.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Melissa McCarthy (1970) shares your birthday. You’re independent, imaginative and innovative. You’re also ambitious and filled with intellectual curiosity. This year you reap the benefits of all your hard work. Expect power, leadership and recognition. You might get a promotion. You might become self-employed. You might win kudos, awards and the spotlight. Seize business opportunities.

Motion seeks to remove longtime head of Southern Chiefs’ Organization due to ‘behaviour’ concerns

Carol Sanders 4 minute read Yesterday at 6:06 PM CDT

For the second time in a year, the leadership of Southern Chiefs’ Organization Grand Chief Jerry Daniels is being called into question.

A motion obtained by the Free Press calls “immediately” for a special summit of the 33 SCO chiefs to consider removing Daniels, who’s been at the helm since 2017.

The Aug. 17 motion, put forward by Lake Manitoba First Nation Chief Cornell McLean and Bloodvein First Nation Chief Lisa Young, cites concerns about “governance, leadership, accountability, transparency, organizational decision-making and confidence of member Nations in the current leadership of the organization.”

McLean would not provide specific examples Wednesday but said the “behaviour” of Daniels is a concern.

Don’t get tangled up in ‘no-strings’ affair

Maureen Scurfield 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I almost made it to the end of summer without calling my hot ex-girlfriend. She will sometimes take me in for an afternoon of fun and sex, just for old times sake! I feel guilty for a while afterwards because I’m married — but a guy needs a break once in a while, right?

My problem? This ex has no steady guy in her life right now, so she asked if we could start seeing each other regularly on Sunday afternoons “no strings attached” until she finds a new partner. Yikes! Free sex with her once a week? Oddly enough, this does not strike me as a smart idea.

I know she would never out me to my wife, but things are bound to get emotional if we start a seeing each other a lot again — plus she’s feeling lonely. I know her personality, and she can kick up a fuss. She’s quite emotional and I can’t afford to get in her line of fire.

On the other hand, I have a wife and kids who have such busy lives they don’t even seem to notice I’m there anymore. What do I say to this ex?

Thirteen accused in gun, drug trafficking network in rural Manitoba

Erik Pindera 4 minute read Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2026

RCMP and Winkler police have arrested more than a dozen people allegedly connected to a drug-and-gun trafficking network that operated in rural Manitoba.

The joint investigation began in December 2024, when officers from the Winkler Police Service asked the Mounties for help after learning kilograms of cocaine were being imported to a Winkler-area truck repair business, said RCMP Supt. Jeff Asmundson, who oversees the force’s Manitoba integrated law enforcement team.

Mounties and Winkler police gathered evidence for 19 months and expanded the probe, dubbed Project Dolor, as investigators learned other types of illicit substances and firearms were being trafficked by the network in a number of southern Manitoba communities, said Asmundson, whose team investigates serious and organized crime.

“It started as a cocaine trafficking investigation, and obviously, as we move along in a project or a file, evidence is gathered and an opportunity arose and we wanted to ensure public safety,” he told reporters Tuesday. “We were able to secure some firearms.”

Fear and loathing in bedbug-infested seniors building

Malak Abas and Morgan Modjeski 5 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 6:18 AM CDT

Years of living in a regularly infested suite in an always-infested building have given Lewie Gwyllt nightmares in which he’s wrestling giant bedbugs.

The 64-year-old has lived at 529 Country Club Blvd., a 107-unit seniors’ home run by Manitoba Housing, for nearly eight years. Much of his tenancy has been marked by monthly, but futile, bedbug-eradication treatments.

Gwyllt’s routine is set in stone: he bags his laundry, steams his clothes, and buys covers for any piece of furniture he buys. He has a physical disability and struggles to move things when the pest-control people arrive to spray for the bugs, but he knows the nooks and crannies of his baseboards are a problem spot.

The mental toll has weighed heavily on him. He takes anti-anxiety medication to deal with the stress and despair when the treatments don’t work.

MIKAELA MACKENZIE / FREE PRESS FILES Winnipeg Blue Bombers offensive co-ordinator Tommy Condell (centre) said Tuesday after practice that, while there are things he can’t control, it’s his responsibility to get the offence as a whole to consistently execute.

Bombers offensive co-ordinator Condell takes accountability for loss to Elks

Ken Wiebe 6 minute read Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2026

Tommy Condell isn’t about to throw his hands up in frustration. That’s simply not the way the Winnipeg Blue Bombers offensive co-ordinator is wired.

And while the state of the offence remains a source of consternation for many in the Bombers fan base, Condell continues to plug away at ensuring steps will be taken to raise the efficiency levels down the stretch.

The club appeared to have taken a significant step forward in that category last Friday, jumping out to a 16-0 lead in the second quarter that became a 10-point cushion at the half after the Edmonton Elks scored a late major.

Then came a head-scratching third quarter that featured a pair of two-and-outs for the visitors at Commonwealth Stadium in what eventually became a 22-19 defeat.

Fully protecting Transit drivers overdue

Editorial 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

Doesn’t it seem like “enough is enough” has been said more than enough times?

The union representing Winnipeg Transit drivers declared last week — again — that the service’s buses need to be outfitted with full safety shields, after yet another incident involving an assault on a partially protected transit operator.

The most recent altercation, which Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1505 president James Van Gerwen described as “almost like a hijacking situation,” occurred around 1 a.m. on Aug. 20 at the St. Vital terminal, when a passenger who had repeatedly told the operator to put the bus in motion subsequently produced a hatchet from a bag and threatened the driver from outside the partial Plexiglas protection current equipment affords.

Fortunately, the operator was able to flag down a nearby police vehicle before violence could ensue, but the driver, in her first year of service with Winnipeg Transit, is now on leave from her duties. According to the union, she joins more than 60 other drivers who are currently on stress leave owing to trauma and/or psychological injuries suffered on the job.
