Queen Elizabeth under medical supervision with doctors concerned about her health – National | Globalnews.ca:

The Royal Family rushed to be with Queen Elizabeth
after doctors said they were concerned about the health of the
96-year-old monarch on Thursday and said she should remain under medical
supervision.

The Queen, Britain’s longest-reigning sovereign and the world’s oldest monarch, has been suffering from what Buckingham Palace has called “episodic mobility problems” since the end of last year.

“Following
further evaluation this morning, The Queen’s doctors are concerned for
Her Majesty’s health and have recommended she remain under medical
supervision,” the palace said in a statement.

We’ve reached a breaking point: Online hate threatens our democracy:

Federal Liberal cabinet ministers are trading in their summer
barbecue bibs for crisp autumn button-downs this week as they gather for
a three-day work retreat in Vancouver before beginning their pilgrimage back to Ottawa for the opening of Parliament’s next legislative session.

Having
fanned out across the country over the past 10 weeks, ministers will
have heard many common themes from Canadians. They’ll, no doubt, report
back about how they’ve been told by constituents to do more to address
critical issues like affordability and the skyrocketing prices for
consumer goods, global warming and refugee resettlement, to name just a
few.

But when ministers convene to compare notes on their summer
dispatches, there’s another far more insidious problem that needs to be
brought to the cabinet table for deliberation. It’s one, in fact, that
threatens the very fabric of our democracy: anger, aggression and hate
spurred by increasing social polarization.

Poilievre popular among Conservative voters, but not all Canadians feel the same: poll – National | Globalnews.ca:

With the next
leader of the Conservative party set to be announced at a convention on
Sept. 10, Bricker says, “all the indications are looking like
[Poilievre] is in pretty good shape.”

Fifty-seven per cent of
self-identified Conservative voters now have a favourable impression of
Poilievre, the poll indicated. This number is up eight points since a
similar poll was conducted in mid-July.

One in four Tory voters, however, said they don’t know enough about Poilievre to form an opinion.

A
total of 1,001 Canadians aged 18 and older were interviewed for the
Ipsos poll, conducted between Aug. 29 and Aug. 31. The poll has a margin
of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

Despite
Poilievre being the widely perceived frontrunner for leader among
Conservative voters, less than one in four Canadians appear to have a
positive impression of him, the poll suggests. That’s a drop of two
points from July.
