Few signs of division after Poilievre’s leadership win
|
|
|
|
|
The latest: There was little division after Pierre Poilievre won his leadership review over the weekend. Resolutions were debated by delegates at the policy convention on Saturday, and many proposals sailed through the voting, with one of the most divisive being a proposal supporting conversion therapy. It failed to advance.
|
|
|
|
|
The vote: Though the victory was expected, his 87.4-per-cent vote is seen as a sign that the party has moved past the sting of losing the last election. The party said 2,588 delegates cast a ballot and turnout was 95 per cent.

|
|
|
What’s next: Nearly a week’s worth of events beginning Monday will mark 20 years since Stephen Harper first led the Conservatives to electoral victory, serving up an immediate contrast between the two leaders.
|
|
|
|
|
Opinion: Pierre Poilievre 2.0 is about hope. But he’s not home free.

U.S. attack on Iran would spark ‘regional war’
|
|
|
|
|
The latest: Iran’s Supreme Leader warned Sunday that an attack by the United States would spark a “regional war” in the Mideast, further escalating tensions after President Donald Trump threatened to strike the Islamic Republic over its crackdown on recent nationwide protests. It remains unclear whether Trump will use force.
|
|
|
|
|
What’s next: Asked about the warning, Trump on Sunday told reporters that the U.S. “has the biggest, most powerful ships in the world over there, very close, a couple of days, and hopefully we’ll make a deal. If we don’t make a deal, then we’ll find out whether or not he was right.” Iran planned a live-fire military drill in the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of all oil traded passes.

At home: Thousands gathered in Toronto on Sunday to show support for the Iranian people.

The onerous and emotional task of planning for aging
|
|
|
|
|
The latest: As nearly one in five Canadians crosses the age-65 threshold, it’s time for families to make decisions about how they will live out their days. The Globe’s generations reporter Ann Hui spoke with a few of these families to understand how Canadians are planning for their own futures.
|
|
|
|
|
What else: Retirees can find themselves more vulnerable when unexpected bills hit since they’re no longer working and earning income – it is a balancing act to prepare for aging and plan the finances around possible emergencies.
