Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My lady friend is 75 and lives down the street. She keeps an eye on me because she lives on the opposite side and can see my property. I have to use the back exit from my garage to slip out without her knowing. At first I thought it was great to have a girlfriend, after my wife died and left me so lonely. But now, I'm being watched all the time and keep my window curtains closed. She even knows when I've stayed up late by looking for my lights on.

We go out every Saturday night and catch a movie or live music. She’s fun then, although she talks too much, but then we go back to my place for some adult fun. She goes home the next morning, after a nice big breakfast and coffee. Isn’t that enough? Frankly, that’s as much as I want to see her. How can I tell her that there’s a limit on how much snooping and contact with her I can take, and she’s exceeding her limit? I would like to be free to meet with other women I meet on The Internet, too, but she’s watching my every move.

Dear Ungrateful Man: It’s time you told her, as nicely as possible, just how ungrateful you truly are. Let her know you’d like to see other people and you want her to stop spying on you. That should do the trick. She needs to know you two are not in a real romantic relationship, except for the Saturday night date. You can expect that adult fun stuff to come to a halt. Make sure your new online women know you’re just looking to be a Saturday night man and you’re dating around. Good luck with that! At least you won’t be leading anybody on anymore.

Mayoral candidate Vogiatzakis criticized for living outside Winnipeg

Malak Abas 3 minute read Friday, Oct. 2, 2026

A mayoral hopeful took heat from other candidates Friday for living outside Winnipeg while running in the civic election.

Mike Vogiatzakis’s primary residence is in the Rural Municipality of St. Andrews, about 25 kilometres north of Winnipeg — a community with its own mayor and councillors.

But the funeral director said he owns a home in Winnipeg where he divides his time, and he would move to the city full-time if elected mayor.

“It doesn’t matter where a person lives. Why are we dividing St. Andrews and Manitoba and Winnipeg? I’ve met the criteria to run for mayor,” Vogiatzakis said Friday morning.

Bombers get ‘whopped’ 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 whopped our ass.”

May be whiff of truth to ex’s odour ardour

Maureen Scurfield 5 minute read Yesterday at 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?

Province looks to seize notorious drug den

Erik Pindera 4 minute read Yesterday at 12:00 PM CDT

Provincial justice officials are trying to seize a Dominion Street drug den that has been the source of trouble in the West End for years.

The owner of 982 Dominion St., 45-year-old Robert Edward Johnson, was most recently arrested in June along with several others after a lengthy Winnipeg Police investigation into thefts and illicit drug sales connected to the house.

“The residence has a reputation within the neighbourhood as being a location where individuals habitually attend for the purpose of purchasing and/or consuming controlled substances,” reads a statement of claim filed by the province’s director of civil forfeiture in the Court of King’s Bench last week.

“For several years, the residence has been associated with criminal activity, violence, and disorder, resulting in numerous police attendances and complaints from members of the surrounding community.”

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.”
