CBC Sports' daily newsletter covers the key Canadian takeaways after an eventful world championships and Diamond League Final.
Vintage Andre De Grasse reappeared at last weekend's Diamond League Final, boosting the aging Canadian star's hopes of winning another Olympic medal next year in Paris.The global track and field season effectively ended with this past weekend's Diamond League Final in Eugene, Oregon. While some notable events are coming up in the fall, such as the Pan Am Games in Chile, the top athletes from all around the world won't assemble like this again until next year.
Coming out of the worlds, a lot of Canadian sports fans were asking "is De Grasse done?" And, with his 29th birthday coming up in November, there just wasn't much evidence to deny it. Not to spoil the fun. but it's worth noting that back-to-back-to-back world champion Noah Lyles skipped the 200m race in Eugene, along with Budapest bronze medallist Letsile Tebogo. And other top contenders who De Grasse beat in the Final, like Erriyon Knighton and Kenny Bednarek, may not have been at their sharpest after peaking for the worlds.

The concession comes as his government faces the worst polling it has seen since coming to power. Host Jayme Poisson returns for this special in-depth interview where Trudeau answers questions including: why he waited until last week to enact a 2015 housing promise, why his support from young people is tanking and whether his government's attempts to force grocery stores to stabilise prices will amount to anything.
