People with this strength are naturally perceptive, studious, historical, and oriented toward learning from what has come before. At its core, Context is about meaning through memory.

Canada's Jewish community is growing—but also becoming more diverse, more intermarried and older. As the 2026 census gets underway this month, Canadian sociologist Rachel Margolis explains why filling it out—especially the long form questionnaire—matters, and what it will reveal about Jewish life in Canada today. The census gathers data on religion, ethnic origin, languages spoken at home and household composition—information researchers use to track key demographic shifts. According to Margolis, a sociology professor at Western University in London, the most recent census shows 83 per cent of Canadian Jews identify religiously as Jewish, down from 89 per cent two decades ago, while the share identifying as Jewish by ethnic origin only has risen to 17 per cent (from 11 per cent). She also finds that 50 per cent of couples in households with at least one Jewish partner are now interfaith—up from about 40 per cent 20 years ago. Margolis expects the next census to show an even more diverse community, shaped in part by recent immigration from Israel following Oct. 7, as well as from Ukraine and Latin America. On this episode of The CJN's flagship North Star podcast, Margolis joins to talk up the new census and reveal more of her fresh data about what Jewish life looks like now. Related links Learn more about Rachel Margolis' research into the Jewish demographics of her adopted home in London, Ont. The 2021 Census showed Jewish population growing slightly but costly housing prices were pushing young families out of Toronto, in The CJN.

If you lead through the CliftonStrengths talent theme of Consistency, (or you know someone who does), this is the episode for you! Today's Strength Snapshot is Consistency The Consistency talent theme is grounded in fairness, structure, and reliability. People with this strength are naturally practical, predictable, and efficient. At its core, Consistency is about creating environments where everyone is treated equally and expectations are clear. These individuals instinctively look for ways to reduce variance, establish standards, and ensure that processes are applied evenly. People who lead through Consistency often describe themselves as leveling, compliant, steady, and fair-minded. In fact, way back in the early days of StrengthsFinder, this talent was known as Fairness - then it later changed to Consistency. What motivates them most is a system that works the same way for everyone. They value predictability, clear rules, and procedures that make environments dependable and equitable. When This Strength Is Thriving When Consistency is operating at its best, it brings stability, reliability, and fairness to any setting. This strength promotes cultural predictability, supports uniformity, and helps people trust that decisions will be made objectively. Consistency talent often shows up through productive team-contribution-roles like standardizer, systematizer, referee, or even as a rule-enforcer. These individuals shine when processes need structure and people need assurance that expectations are applied evenly. While others may focus on exceptions, Consistency focuses on fairness for all. To close, here's a simple 5-minute experiment to try in the next 24 hours… Choose one routine or process in your day and intentionally repeat it the exact same way. Then notice how consistency affects your efficiency, clarity, or peace of mind. Well, that's a wrap for today's episode.

Ted Rossman of Bankrate.com says the typically strong spring homebuying season has been slower in 2026. He addresses elevated 30-year mortgage rates, but says they are still lower than a year ago. Ted notes a 6.00% mortgage rate is a notable psychological level for homebuyers, as a large number of homeowners locked in lower rates in the COVID-19 pandemic. He weighs in on a "cooling" in markets like Nashville, Austin and Miami, while seeing more buying demand in the "Rust-Belt" states like Ohio and Pennsylvania. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

If you lead through the CliftonStrengths talent theme of Connectedness, (or you know someone who does), this is the episode for you! Today's Strength Snapshot is Connectedness The Connectedness talent theme is rooted in meaning, unity, and awareness of how everything fits together. People with this strength are naturally perceptive, listening-oriented, philosophic, and integrating. At its core, Connectedness is about seeing the bigger picture. These individuals instinctively sense relationships between people, events, and ideas. They often feel drawn toward something larger than themselves, whether that's a cause, a community, or a shared purpose. People who lead through Connectedness frequently describe themselves as comforting, seeking, and often…spiritual. We also see a lot of nature-lovers who lead through Connectedness. What motivates them most is the chance to help people see connections. They love recognizing patterns of continuity and helping others understand how separate parts can form a meaningful whole. When This Strength Is Thriving When Connectedness is operating at its best, it brings unity, empathy, and perspective to any environment. This strength naturally integrates parts into wholes and approaches people with acceptance, care, and consideration. Connectedness talent often shows up through relationship-roles like bridge-builder, unifier, integrator, or seeker. These individuals shine when divisions appear.
