Your daily horoscope: February 9, 2026

  IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY If you accept that conflict is a fact of life and that sometimes you have to fight for your beliefs then the coming year won’t hold too many terrors. You may even find that you enjoy pitting wits with people you once thought of as scary. ARIES (March 21 - April 20): Don’t try to get everything done in one mad rush as the week begins or you will quickly exhaust yourself. Slow down and give yourself time to consider your options for the rest of the month. It’s not about speed, it’s about focus. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21): You may not have made much progress with a creative endeavour of late but it’s no big deal so don’t despair. There will be many more opportunities to push ahead with it over the next few weeks. You’re not on the clock, so why hurry? GEMINI (May 22 - June 21): If a colleague or rival wants to make personal comments about you that’s up to them but you don’t have to respond in kind. Ignore what they say and carry on with what you are working...

Singh Rejects Conservative Non-Confidence Motion Despite Using His Own Words

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has announced that he will not support the Conservative Party's latest non-confidence motion, even though it quotes his own criticisms of the Liberal government. Singh stated that he refuses to play Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's "games" and emphasized his commitment to expanding dental care and pharmacare programs introduced under the NDP's former governing agreement with the Liberals.

The motion, expected to be introduced on Thursday, calls on the House of Commons to declare that it agrees with Singh's criticisms and has lost confidence in the government. If passed, this motion would trigger an election. However, Singh has made it clear that he is not willing to vote non-confidence and risk cutting the programs the NDP fought for.

The non-confidence vote was scheduled after Speaker Greg Fergus intervened to pause a filibuster on a privilege debate about a green technology fund. The Conservatives have said they would only end the debate if the NDP agrees to topple the government or if the Liberals turn over unredacted documents at the center of the parliamentary gridlock.

Singh's decision highlights his focus on delivering tangible benefits to Canadians rather than engaging in political maneuvering.
