With just a week left in the 2025 federal election, it remains unclear which way Jewish voters will lean. Will they give stock to the parties' promises on the economy, housing and sovereignty? Or will they be single-issue voters and focus on security within their own community? And how will they decide which party's stance is more aligned with their views on Israel and the ongoing conflict with Hamas? Although Canadian Jews make up just one percent of the population, surprisingly, all the main federal party leaders have made promises about these very issues, including during both of last week's nationally televised debates. While many polls are predicting a Liberal majority government, the members of The CJN Daily‘s political panel are not unanimous in their prognostications. On today's episode, we assemble David Birnbaum, is a former Liberal member of the Quebec National Assembly; Emma Cunningham, a former NDP riding executive in Pickering, Ont., who now serves as a school board trustee east of Toronto; and Dan Mader, a Conservative party strategist with Loyalist Public Affairs in Toronto, who also volunteers for CJPAC, the Canadian Jewish Political Affairs Committee.

Ontarians are heading to the polls on Feb. 27 to elect the province's 44th government after Premier Doug Ford called a snap election. The Conservative leader, who has twice been elected since taking office in 2018, says he need a new four-year mandate to take on U.S. President Donald Trump and his threats of crippling import tariffs that, Ford warns, could cost Ontario half a million jobs. Amidst debates over tariffs and inflation, however, Jewish topics aren't getting much attention. Which party would most value protecting synagogues and Jewish schools from vandalism and protest? Which party would tackle anti-Zionism in public schools? Which party would address campus antisemitism? For answers, we turn to a special Ontario edition of The CJN Daily‘s political panel. Today we're joined by Ari Laskin, a former Conservative political staffer and strategist in Premier Doug Ford's office—who, in 2014, happened to run the current Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie's successful campaign for mayor of Mississauga—and Emma Cunningham, a former Ontario NDP riding president who left that party over its refusal to tackle internal antisemitism.

Over the last six months, residents of Whitby, Ont., have discovered multiple Nazi swastikas around towbn, including carved into the walls of their main library's washroom and burned with chemicals onto a popular soccer field. Police are investigating, but no one's been caught. The antisemitic incidents have shocked the local Jewish community of 1,000 families, members of which say, by and large, that most people feel relatively safe in Whitby. They're also grateful for the latest support from the mayor, town council, Durham regional police and local faith groups. In response to the events, last week, the Town of Whitby voted to ask Ottawa to ban the Nazi swastika, also pledging to develop better internal protocols to handle future hate symbols when discovered. The town's motions have had a domino effect, and politicians in neighbouring communities are taking notice. Durham Region councillors will consider the same swastika ban on Feb. 12, while the Pickering will consider it at the end of the month. On today's episode of The CJN Daily, we hear from Rabbi Tzali Borenstein, spiritual leader of Chabad of Durham; Whitby town councillor Chris Leahy, who brought the original motions forward; Whitby Mayor Elizabeth Roy; and professor Tessa Troughton, whose child has witnessed Nazi salutes at her local high school, including students mimicking Elon Musk. What we talked about: Read the motions passed by Whitby Town Council on Monday Feb. 3, 2025 to a) support the call to ban the swastika and b) to develop a protocol to react better to cases of antisemitism when municipal staff discover it. Learn more about B'nai Brith Canada's campaign to ban the display of the Nazi swastika by modifying the criminal code.

High drama continues in Ottawa, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faces loud calls from his own MPs and opposition leaders to step down, following the surprising resignation of his finance minister, Chrystia Freeland, from cabinet. Trudeau has so far withstood the criticism, shuffling his cabinet on Dec. 20—the same day that NDP leader Jagmeet Singh confirmed he would make a no-confidence vote as soon as Parliament resumes, on Jan. 27, sparking an election that the Liberals will almost certainly lose. Amid the chaos, Jewish Canadians have been caught in the middle. Since Oct. 7, politicans' responses to the Israel-Hamas war—and the ensuring flood of violent antisemitic attacks on domestic soil—have sharply divided political parties and the public. As a result of the federal cabinet shuffle, the Montreal-area MP for Outremont, Rachel Bendayan, has been given two portfolios—official languages and associate minister for public security—and immediately revealed that she'd been tasked to convene a new national summit on antisemitism in the new year. But will the Liberal government even last that long? As 2024 comes to a close, The CJN Daily called on its political panel to reflect on the tumultuous year that was—and kvell about their predictions from their last appearance on this program. They are David Birnbaum, former Liberal MNA for the Montreal riding of D'Arcy-McGee in the Quebec National Assembly; Emma Cunningham, the former NDP riding president in Pickering-Uxbridge who quit over antisemitism, and is now a school board trustee; and Stephen Adler, a Conservative insider and senior director at National Public Relations in Toronto. What we talked about: Hear the political panel on The CJN Daily in 2023 to hear if their predictions came true. Ottawa is convening a second national antisemitism forum focused on policing and law enforcement, in The CJN. Why Canadians and Jews are turning their backs on the Liberals, on Bonjour Chai.

Depending how you look at it, Botox is a safe and certain way to smooth wrinkles and fine lines, boosting your self-esteem and sense of self-worth. On the flip side of that, it is a toxin that fixes your skin into a permanent "frozen" expression, further adding to a culture of increasing beauty standards. So, what are the considerations when approaching cosmetic procedures such as Botox and filler? Liz Dwyer is the Co-founder of the Future Beauty and Health Show & Co-host of the ‘Fess Up' podcast on GoLoud & Dr Emma Cunningham is an Aesthetic Doctor and Founder of Dr Emma Clinics in Newry and Slieve Donard.

The photo has caused outrage in Canada's Jewish community. Last week, the government released an image of the minister of foreign affairs, Melanie Joly, and Ya'ara Saks—her Israeli-Canadian cabinet colleague and Toronto area MP—smiling and holding hands in Ramallah with the leader of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas. The grip and grin photo was taken on March 12, while the two Canadian politicians were on a diplomatic swing through the region, pledging aid to both sides while the war between Israel and Hamas enters its 24th week. The furor over the photo comes just as Canadian lawmakers on Monday are set to debate a key NDP motion in Parliament which, among other things, would see this country unilaterally recognize Palestine as an independent state. Will this motion will pass? What is Canada signalling about whose side they are on, now that Ottawa has also restarted financial aid to UNRWA, blocked export permits for military equipment to Israel and pledged $1 million to investigate sexual assaults on Palestinian prisoners by Israeli police and soldiers? On today's episode of The CJN Daily, we dive into that infamous photo, the upcoming vote and what it all means. With Conservative insider Anthony Koch of AK Strategies; Emma Cunningham, a former Ontario NDP riding president; and Joe Roberts, formerly of JSpace Canada, and now a lobbyist and managing director with Winston Wilmont Public Affairs in Ottawa. What we talked about: Read the NDP motion on recognizing Palestine as an independent state, on the House of Commons website. When the Liberals voted in favour of an NDP motion to re-examine Canada's relationship with Israel and Palestine, in May 2023, on The CJN Daily.

As 2023 comes to a close, the prime minister, Justin Trudeau, has sat down for a lot of year-end interviews with major Canadian journalists, and The CJN Daily has been asking for one with him, too–for months. But to no avail (we will keep trying). Canada's Jewish community (and The CJN) have a lot of questions to ask about this government's stance on the Israel-Hamas war since Oct. 7, including why it continues funding for UNRWA, why Canada's initial strong support for Israel has now changed with a recent UN vote calling for a ceasefire, why it took Canada's foreign affairs minister so long to say she believes Hamas terrorists raped and murdered Israeli women, and why CBC News continues to be permitted not to call Hamas ‘terrorists'. So we'll ask the next best thing: our panel of experts to evaluate how well or in many cases how poorly Canada's elected leaders have handled these big issues, especially from the Jewish community's perspective. And we'll get them to make their predictions for the New Year. Ellin is joined from Toronto by Stephen Adler, a former Conservative insider now a senior director with National Public Relations; by Emma Cunningham, a former NDP riding president in Pickering, Ont. who quit her provincial party over antisemitism–she is now a trustee with the Durham District School Board but is speaking on her own behalf; and by David Birnbaum, in Montreal, a former Liberal member of the Quebec National Assembly for the riding of D'Arcy McGee, retired in 2022.

An Appointment With… A podcast series where I crash the waiting lists of the beauty industry's best creatives and professionals, and bring you with me. Season 2, Episode 6: Dr Emma Cunningham These days, aesthetics clinics are two-a-penny. There are on almost every street corner, and a lot of them offer the same things. To stand out you need to offer something really special – something ahead of the crowd. And that's how Dr Emma caught my eye. Diving her time between three clinics, north and south of the boarder, yes Dr Emma does all the things you'd expect – injectables, lasers, needling, peels, IV drips… but that's just the beginning. She also employs specialist consultants to offer female health clinics, specialist peri and menopause clinics, medical weight loss clinics, men's health clinics, vasectomy clinics and pelvic floor physiotherapy. And I get the impression that's just the start. It comes from Dr Emma's interest in looking beyond a face, or a wrinkle, or a blemish, to understand the human inside… Follow on Instagram @dremmaclinics Visit: https://dr-emma.co.uk/ This season we're delighted to call Dylan hotel our home.

Women in Policing provides an insight into women's role within policing, their emergence, and development, offering a theoretical underpinning to explore this role as well as incorporating two empirical studies, one which reassesses the lived experiences of female officers, and one based on FOI requests to examine police officer disciplinary offences in three police force areas.
This past year was as politically divisive as any in recent memory, and the Jewish community—both in Canada and internationally—was not exempted from the strife. So to round up the biggest political stories of 2022 and to make their predictions for the coming year, The CJN Daily has assembled its first-ever political panel and quiz game—and you're invited to play along. Joining us are three guests representing all three major political parties, each of whom has been featured by The CJN before. David Birnbaum is a former Liberal Member of the National Assembly of Quebec; Emma Cunningham is a trustee with the Durham District School Board and a former Ontario NDP riding president; and Stephen Adler is a former Conservative strategist and currently is senior director of corporate and public affairs at National Public Relations. So settle in, think back to the biggest news stories of the year (Jewish and not) and get ready to buzz in your answers—and let's see if you know the news as well as the pros. What we talked about: Read about David Birnbaum's decision not to run for re-election in The CJN (Apr 2022) Listen to Emma Cunningham explain her confrontation with the Ontario NDP over antisemitism in The CJN Daily (Jan 2022) Hear Stephen Adler on The CJN Daily round up the stakes for Jewish Ontarians during ahead of this past fall's election Credits The CJN Daily is written and hosted by Ellin Bessner (@ebessner on Twitter).

Emma Cunningham has been a volunteer with the New Democratic Party for several years, in several elections, at several levels. Even though she personally feels a little further left than the party at large, she knew she could find a home with the NDP as a progressive Jew. Until last week. When the Ontario NDP nominated Steve Parish—the former mayor of Ajax, who lobbied to keep a local street named after a Nazi officer—to run in the upcoming provincial election, that was the last straw for Cunningham. Despite being the president of a neighbouring NDP riding association, she quit, taking to Twitter to call out the party for what she called "so many antisemitic incidents" she's encountered over the years. While Parish has since apologized for offending Jewish people in Ontario and beyond, and Ontario NDP leader Andrea Horwath told The CJN she's working to stamp out antisemitism, that's not good enough for Cunningham. She joins today to explain why.

In episode #399 of Talking Radical Radio, Scott Neigh interviews Emma Cunningham of Environmental Action Now Ajax-Pickering. They recently won an important victory against an attempt to build a warehouse on Duffins Creek wetland, a protected wetland in the middle of Pickering. Groups in communities across Ontario are currently facing similar struggles, as pro-development municipal councils and the provincial government are making increasing use of Minister's Zoning Orders (MZOs) to push forward development regardless of environmental and community consequences. Cunningham talks about how they won the fight in Pickering, and about what other communities can learn from it.

Start Yours | An ecommerce, dropshipping, and entrepreneurship podcast from Oberlo
In late 2019 one of Emma Cunningham's close friends convinced her to start a dropshipping store. Working full-time for the Australian Government, Emma was unsure if the move from working 9-5 and managing her dropshipping store was sustainable but a few months in, as the sales started to jump, she took the leap, left her job and focused entirely on her new business. Emma is a standout in the industry, committed to sharing her experiences so far and is already moving into creating a new white-label ecommerce business. This episode is a great way to kick off 2021 and Season 4 of Start Yours! Be sure to check out oberlo.com for all of our show notes and links.

Molly's Sleazy Friends - Emma Cunningham by Molly's Sleazy Friends
On January 31, 1857, a prominent dentist named Harvey Burdell was found brutally murdered -- strangled, then stabbed 15 times -- in his office and home and Bond Street, a once-trendy street between Broadway and the Bowery. The suspects for this horrific crime populated the rooms of 31 Bond Street including Emma Cunningham, the former lover of Dr. Burdell and a woman with many secrets to hide; the boarder John Eckel who had a curious fondness for canaries; and the banjo-playing George Snodgrass, whose personal obsessions may have evolved in depraved ways. The mechanics of solving crime were much different in the mid-19th century than they are today, and the mysterious particulars of this investigation seem strange and even unacceptable to us today. A suspect would stand trial for Dr. Burdell's death, yet the shocking events which followed -- including a sinister deception and a faked childbirth -- would prove that truth is stranger than fiction.

This podcast continues to discuss Family-Based Therapy for eating disorders. In this podcast I talk to Amy Cunningham — mother of last week's guest, Emma Cunningham. Last week we heard Emma's story of family-based therapy from the perspective of a child who had recently been through the process. If you didn't listen to last week's episode you can do so here. Amy tells us about the process of putting a child through family-based therapy. From diagnosis to close to full recovery. In this podcast, we discuss: Genetics of eating disorders and how they run through families. Amy's own experience with Anorexia and Bulimia. How Amy recognized her daughter's eating disorder. Managing family-based therapy with school, work, and travel. Working with other family members to administer family-based therapy. Eating disorder advocacy and what needs to be done in order to make these illnesses better treated. Amy now works as an advocate for family-based therapy and other aspects of eating disorder treatment and understanding. You can find out more about the advocacy part of our conversation via the following links. International Eating Disorder Action @IEDAction World Eating Disorder Action Day
In this podcast I talk to Emma Cunningham about how family-based therapy saved her life. This is a very enlightening perspective from a survivor — an important listen for parents who are currently administering FBT, or contemplating it. Emma has suffered from Anorexia, and explains how her parents worked with professionals versed in family-based therapy practices to put her in an environment where her eating disorder could not survive. In fact, not only did Emma move into a firm place of recovery from her Anorexia, but she is now an advocate for family-based therapy as an effective form of treatment. What an incredible young woman! If you are at all on the fence about family-based therapy, don't take it from me. You don't even have to take it from the professionals who use it to treat eating disorder patients. Listen to this 15-year-old survivor and see what she has to say about it. In this podcast we discuss: How family based therapy is difficult, but it will strengthen relationships in the long run Why parents should not hesitate to go into family-based therapy How survivors respect and are thankful to parents who help them recover How FBT allows sufferers to recover the fastest way, and this lets them continue with their lives without an eating disorder. How families can work together even when they are not all living together The influence of school and how to manage school during treatment. We want your feedback!
