Your lookahead horoscope: June 1, 2025

  The skeptics and the cynics will come up with all sorts of reasons why you should curb your enthusiasm this year but you must ignore each and every one of them. Step up to the plate and hit every pitch they throw at you out of the park. ARIES (March 21 - April 20): If you concern yourself too much with what other people think about you it will leave less time and less energy to invest in the things that really matter. Pretend you can’t hear a word your critics are saying and listen to your instincts instead. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21): Why are you looking so serious? Whatever the reason you need to lighten up a bit, because you will only make a success of what you are working on if you have a smile on your face. Good humour is essential for good results. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21): You may find it hard to put your feelings into words over the next few days but your body language will speak volumes and friends and colleagues will be left in no doubt what you think of them.

Trudeau's Cabinet Faces Major Shakeup as Housing Minister Sean Fraser Steps Down

 

In a significant development, Housing Minister Sean Fraser has announced his decision to step down from the federal cabinet and not seek re-election in his Nova Scotia riding. This move comes as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau prepares for a cabinet shuffle, which could happen as soon as Wednesday.

Fraser, who has been a prominent figure in Trudeau's cabinet, cited family reasons for his departure. The demands of his portfolio have made it challenging for him to spend time with his family in rural Nova Scotia. His exit adds to the list of ministers who have decided not to run in the next election, including Minister of National Revenue Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Sport Carla Qualtrough, and Minister of Northern Affairs Dan Vandal.

Amid these changes, Trudeau's office is making a concerted effort to recruit former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney to join the cabinet. Carney, who has been approached multiple times in the past, is reportedly more open to the idea now, although no final decision has been made.

Fraser's departure and the potential addition of Carney highlight the ongoing efforts by Trudeau to refresh his cabinet and address the pressing issues facing his government, particularly in the housing sector.
