“The CAQ, even if it says its main opponent is QS, has four opponents,” said Christian Bourque, vice president of Léger. “Some larger counties will be tighter than we thought at the start of this campaign. »

The Parti Québécois, which started with 9%, is still at the bottom but their voting intentions now climb to 13%.

“Since the beginning of the campaign, it’s still +4 for the PQ […] There is actually some movement going on,” adds Mr. Bourque.

The other three parties win or lose a point and all get 16% of the voting intent. This is also the first time that Éric Duhaime’s Conservative Party has drawn level with QS and the PLQ in this campaign.

In the Quebec region in particular, an increase in PQ comes at the expense of CAQ, which finds itself with 36% of the favor, making the fight against Éric Duhaime even tighter (25%).

A good debate

Leaders Paul St-Pierre Plamondon’s fine performance at Face-à-Face would not be unrelated to his side’s improvement in points.

“There are two winners in this debate: Paul St-Pierre Plamondon and Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois,” says Mr. Bourque.

According to the 1046 respondents, Mr. St-Pierre Plamondon had the second best performance, just behind Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois. However, it should be noted that the PSPP takes first place among the over 55s, well ahead of François Legault.

“It’s a key indicator of the PQ leader and a yellow light for CAQ members among voters that the CAQ needs to hold and continue to attract,” explains Mr. Bourque. But last week the prime minister was eclipsed by PSPP. »

François Legault, who admitted he could do better in the next debate, came second with 9%. The proportion is the same for those over 55 years of age.

Second choice

22% of Quebecers would choose Paul Saint-Pierre Plamondon’s Parti Québécois.

For François Legault, however, this result is not good news. “If you have 38% of the voting intentions but only 16% of the people say you have the best campaign… for many it’s ‘right’ at best,” believes Mr. Bourque.

“Of those who would vote for the CAQ today, less than half (43%) say François Legault has the best campaign,” adds Mr. Bourque.

“All is not rosy on the side of the former,” he says.

A leading Australian filmmaker has died after the light aircraft he was piloting crashed in the remote wilderness of the Victorian Highlands.

Mathew Farrell’s friends and colleagues – including home and away star Bonnie Sveen – have celebrated the Tasmanian’s passion, which has taken him from the deserts of Morocco to the polar tundra of Antarctica.

The TV veteran, who had worked for ABC, BBC and Discovery Channel, lived in Tawong, north-east Victoria, with his fiancée Kaz.

Mr Farrell flew into NSW from local Mount Beauty Airport on Sunday midday. However, when he failed to show up at his destination, an alarm was sounded and a search launched.

Rescuers found the remains of the plane and Mr Farrell’s body in thick scrubland near Lucyvale around 10am Monday.

He had only recently bought the plane after getting his pilot’s license last year.

“Tassie lost a kind, kind hearted person and filmmaker this week,” Ms Sveen, 32, who played Ricky Sharp on the TV soap, posted on Instagram.

“Mat Farrell was a photographer, editor and man of many hats – and quite rooted in the creative and media communities here.

“I worked closely with him on the short film ‘Life Lives On’ that we shot almost two years ago – an idea I had that just wouldn’t have materialized without Mat’s generous time, effort and passion.

‘He was him [Director of Photography] and editor. I thought (and hoped!) that it was the first of many projects we would be collaborating on.”

Newspaper workers remembered the former Hobart Mercury photographer for his adventurous spirit that “embraced life” – and whose skills have included being a paraglider, arctic explorer, mountaineer guide and Zodiac boater.

“Mat was one of the kindest and most generous people I have ever known.

“He accepted life. He was adventurous yet thoughtful, he was passionate, calm, he was endlessly excitable yet totally devoted.

“He will be missed by so many people in Tasmania, interstate and overseas as he has touched people in ways not many can and connected with people in a way we all wish we could.”

Excerpt from one of the five videos that show the mechanisms of misinformation and manipulation. SCREENSHOT VACCINATION SCIENCE

On August 31, astronaut Thomas Pesquet was forced to tweet at length that “of course yes, humans went to the moon during the Apollo missions” after his words were distorted by deniers of our satellite’s man’s conquest.

Another example of how online disinformation remains a major societal problem. And this despite the proliferation of debunker services in the media [de l’anglais debunk, « discréditer »], journalists who, like Decoders of the World, seek to verify claims suspected of being false. How to find other countermeasures against this “fake news” that is spreading massively in social networks and thus in society and in households?

An international team of psychology researchers from the Universities of Cambridge, Bristol (UK) and Perth (Australia) have partnered with the to conduct an experiment of unprecedented scale Jigsaw Laboratory (Google, USA). They have “psychologically inoculated” Internet users, they explain, through intermediary videos, low-dose false reports to immunize them like a vaccine against disinformation and teach them to separate the wheat from the chaff. The rather encouraging results were published in Sciences Advances on August 24th.

“We came up with the idea of ​​’vaccinating’ people against common manipulation techniques by developing the Bad News game in February 2018,” explains the publication’s lead author, Cambridge University’s Jon Roozenbeek. The idea of ​​these videos is an extension of this first work. »

Studying in the lab and in “real life”

To launch this new study, the researchers envisioned five short 92-second films that showcase manipulation techniques commonly used in disinformation practices: emotionally manipulative language, inconsistency, false dilemmas, the scapegoat technique, and ad hominem attacks .

Each of the videos has the same structure: a first misleading message – for example, in the case of manipulative language, a sad little girl with an voiceover that encourages you to watch the sequel, even if it makes you cry – then comes a film of animation to decode the manipulation. “When the message is announced as evoking negative emotions like fear, anger, or contempt, it encourages watching the rest of the video,” we learn. Finally, a short hands-on exercise concludes the film to verify that the manipulation technique has been properly processed.

Dialogue, but no ambiguity. Because autocracies “thrive” in the face of “hesitation.” This is the recipe that Mario Draghi repeats in New York to the audience of the 57th edition of the Annual Awards Dinner of the “Appeal of Conscience Foundation”, the foundation that gives him the World Statesman Award (Statesman of the Year) He just got last At the beginning of his speech, Draghi recalled that several heads of state and government, from Gorbachev to Angela Merkel and Shinzo Abe, were welcomed this year. In a message to the foundation, Joe Biden thanked the prime minister for his “leadership” and for the “powerful voice” he has in promoting human rights. And even more flattering are the words of Henry Kissinger’s eulogy: “His courage and his vision will ensure that he will be with us for a long time,” says the former US Secretary of State, while Draghi makes the gesture of restraint with his hand. Faced with the risk of a new Cold War, a new “polarization” sparked by Russia’s war on Ukraine, the prime minister says it will be how we “deal with autocracies,” “our ability to shape the future.” will determine”. .” Therefore, he summarizes, “openness, coherence and commitment” are required. In the meantime, we must “speak clearly about the core values ​​of our societies,” belief in democracy, and “the rule of law.” , respect for human rights, global solidarity. Ideals that “should guide our foreign policy in a clear and predictable manner.” If you draw a “red line,” the metaphor, you must “respect them.” “We must honor them.” Also, “not to regret it later.” . In short: we must be prepared to “collaborate” with authoritarian governments, but without “endangering our fundamental values”. First of all, this applies to the Ukraine crisis: EU, USA and everything .die occis nte has shown itself to be “firm and united” in its support for Kyiv, whose “heroism” is “a strong reminder of what we are fighting for, what we will lose”. Despite the “sadness” of this period, Draghi nonetheless professes optimism: that Russia can “return to the rules it signed in 1945” and that Ukraine can find that “peace” that we must not stop looking for. “Only global cooperation – said the Prime Minister, who will reaffirm the concept in his speech to the UN General Assembly tonight – can help solve global problems, from pandemics to climate change.”

Quito, September 19 (Prensa Latina) Several cities in Ecuador were the scene of demonstrations today demanding justice for María Belén Bernal, a lawyer who disappeared a week ago and whose case is being investigated.

In Quito, the country’s capital, dozens of women gathered in front of the Pichincha prosecutor’s office in the city center and from there called for the open investigation to be speeded up to solve the incident.

Bernal was last seen on September 11 at Superior Police School, where her admission was registered to visit her husband, an officer who works at the facility.

Several feminist groups, including Women for Change, joined the rally.

Regarding what happened, one of the group’s spokespersons stated that the National Police and the state are responsible for what happened to Bernal as there are insufficient controls in the facility. The sit-in was also a space to demand public action from the national government aimed at curbing violence against women, femicide and gender inequality.

Ibarra, Loja, Cuenca, Guayaquil and Machala were other cities where sections of the population gather to demand justice for what happened to Bernal and for other cases of women reported missing or killed in violent crimes .

For his part, Interior Minister Patricio Carrillo reported the distancing of the uniformed men involved in the events surrounding the disappearance of the lawyer whose wife, Lieutenant Edgar Cáceres, is the prime suspect.

In the midst of the investigation, a habeas corpus suit was filed against the incumbent in the María Belén Bernal case.
