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?

Ontario is gearing up for a significant change on its highways as the Ford government announces an increase in speed limits. Starting July 12, drivers will experience a new pace of travel with speed limits rising to 110 km/h on select sections. This move is set to affect over 250 km of Highway 401, including stretches around Kingston and Belleville, as well as parts of Highway 403 near Brantford.

The decision follows a successful pilot program and consultations that began in 2019. It also aligns Ontario’s speed limits with those in other Canadian provinces, making for a more uniform driving experience across the country. The government assures that the highways were originally designed to safely accommodate the new speed limits, and data from the 2022 changes support this claim.

While the speed limit increase is welcomed by many for its promise of a more convenient commute, it does not alter the threshold for stunt driving charges. In Ontario, speeds exceeding 50 km/h above the posted limit can lead to such charges, and with the new changes, 150 km/h remains the cutoff.

As Ontario prepares for this shift, drivers are reminded to adjust their habits accordingly and enjoy the benefits of a faster, yet safe, journey on the province’s highways.
