Look for a partner with best qualities of past girlfriends

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I went through a long sexual desert — a dry spell of almost two years. I am a university student, but in a male-dominated faculty. Then, two women came along at almost the same time, and I loved them equally. I loved one because she was exciting, daring and sexually amazing, and I loved the other because she was kind and sweet,loves animals and is warm and sensual in bed. I would like to roll them together, make one person and marry her, but they are two separate beings, and now my worst nightmare has happened: they found out about each other and spoke to each other in person two days ago.

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I went through a long sexual desert — a dry spell of almost two years. I am a university student, but in a male-dominated faculty. Then, two women came along at almost the same time, and I loved them equally. I loved one because she was exciting, daring and sexually amazing, and I loved the other because she was kind and sweet,loves animals and is warm and sensual in bed. I would like to roll them together, make one person and marry her, but they are two separate beings, and now my worst nightmare has happened: they found out about each other and spoke to each other in person two days ago.

They had a coffee, which turned into dinner discussing me. They both decided they didn’t want a liar like me in the long run, so they weren’t going to fight over me. I didn’t set out to do that! I met them both within a week and started dating them casually, and within a month I was sleeping with one and then the other. I was trying to decide and just didn’t confess to either one. Now I have lost both, and don’t know who I miss most. What can I do?

Dear Stabbed Twice in the Heart: You have a very loose definition of “love” and you unwittingly did some stabbing yourself. Things are not really as bad as they seem. Neither one of them was the answer. Now you must look for a woman who combines both their characteristics, to a certain degree, and maybe marry her. If you find that sweet and spicy combination in one woman, date only her and be true.

Lots of modern, daring women also have a very sweet, warm and nurturing side. Your challenge is to make it safe for her to show both of those sides to you. There are mistakes you can make, though. If she’s one step more daring than you are sexually, don’t ever call her down for it, or that wild side may shut down on you. If she’s one step softer or less confident than you, don’t call her down for that either, or that emotional openness will disappear. Women have to be loved and supported unconditionally to keep both sides happy and trusting you.

Volunteer pop-up library axed from Manitoba Youth Centre

Matthew Frank 3 minute read Updated: 11:25 AM CDT

Manitoba Corrections has cancelled a pop-up library program at the Manitoba Youth Centre, leaving inmates without librarian services and fewer options to borrow certain books.

The Prison Libraries Committee, part of the non-profit Manitoba Library Association, operated and funded the volunteer program since 2024 before it was shut down by the province last month. The group previously partnered with the province to offer the service because the facility has no dedicated library of its own.

“It is concerning that community members who are incarcerated, especially youth, are losing out on meaningful programming, access to information and rehabilitation efforts, which are offered at no cost to (Manitoba) Corrections. We urge Manitoba Justice to promote more library services and programming, not less,” said a Sept. 24 letter from the non-profit addressed to the justice minister.

Ashley Huot, chair of the Prison Libraries Committee, said she was puzzled when she received an email last month from Manitoba Corrections stating that the pop-up library was no longer needed.

May be whiff of truth to ex’s odour ardour

Maureen Scurfield 5 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I ran into an old boyfriend I used to curl on a team with, and we went for drinks. We’ve been almost eight years apart, and I couldn’t remember why we broke up, as we always had such a great time together.

It wasn’t until the second date — this time on a weekend — that it came back to me, with a jolt. Pee-yew! I remembered he doesn’t use deodorant on weekends. Why? He enjoys his own body odour. I recalled that a bit too late, and it was just as awful as ever! I went home early.

Tonight, he called and I refused him another date. I said, “Think back. You remember why we broke up?” Then he said, “Oh yeah, you hated my no-deodorant weekend policy. Well, guess what? Some women don’t mind!” I said I really doubted that, and that ended the conversation. Miss L., wouldn’t any women find stinky underarms offensive?

Six high school hockey programs ceased operations following new Hockey Manitoba policy

She lived the best of both worlds.

For the last three years, the 17-year-old wore a sweater for two different hockey programs — her high school team and AAA club in the Manitoba Female Hockey League — and was preparing to flourish in both colours again this winter.

Recently, however, the blue-liner was disappointed to learn she is no longer eligible to play her Grade 12 season with her school owing to a new policy imposed by Hockey Manitoba that bans players from participating in the Manitoba Women’s High School Hockey League if they are rostered on a U18 AAA team.

The rule applies to all athletes who play for both Winnipeg-based and rural AAA teams.

Brandonmeat packer thriving on its own

Abiola Odutola 3 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

BRANDON — Canada Packers has strengthened its business and laid the foundation for future growth during its first year as an independent company, its president says.

The Brandon-based pork producer, separated from Maple Leaf Foods in October 2025, established its own leadership, strategy, systems, culture and identity while continuing operations across its hog production farms and regional hog barns in southern and eastern Manitoba.

The company’s first year was focused on building a successful standalone business while continuing to serve customers, communities and shareholders, president Dennis Organ said.

“Market conditions over the past year have been more challenging than we anticipated when we became a separate entity,” he said in an email. “Despite that, we continued to execute against our priorities, including increasing processing volumes, maintaining disciplined operations and strengthening the business.”

Blown lead spoils Jets opener

Mike McIntyre 7 minute read Yesterday at 11:09 PM CDT

Younger. Faster. Stronger.

They may still be a long ways from a finished product, but it’s safe to say the new-look Winnipeg Jets made a mostly favourable first impression on Friday night in front of a sold-out crowd at Canada Life Centre.

Sure, a 4-3 overtime loss to a hard-nosed Boston Bruins outfit is going to sting a little, especially since the home team was just 98 seconds away from a regulation victory.

But if the Jets can bottle up this kind of energy and effort, they should enjoy plenty of success over the course of the 84-game campaign.

Clock ticks down on destruction of records documenting residential school abuses

Clock ticks down on destruction of records documenting residential school abuses

Marsha McLeod 13 minute read Yesterday at 12:49 PM CDT

In less than a year, a private company is set to destroy the largest cache of records detailing the widespread abuse of Indigenous children at residential schools in Canada.

The destruction, which was ordered by an Ontario court in 2014 and later upheld by the Supreme Court, is set to take place on Sept. 19, 2027.

This countdown is igniting emotional conversations that seek to balance the immense historical value of the records alongside the confidentiality survivors were promised as part of the process of providing detailed testimony about abuses they’d suffered.

The records were created as part of the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement, a class-action settlement stemming from survivors who began suing the federal government in the late 1990s over the harm they’d been subjected to at residential schools.
