It's Election Day in Canada. By last count, there are at least 26 Jewish candidates running in the 2025 federal election for all major parties, including the Conservatives (10), Liberals (7), NDP (5), People's Party of Canada (2), Green (2). Despite polls pointing to a Liberal victory, several Jewish candidates are running in ridings deemed too close to call. On today's show, we're zooming into a few of those ridings, to take a better look at what the issues are on the ground. In Mount Royal, incumbent Anthony Housefather has been fending off attacks about his party's perceived anti-Israel stance from new challenger Neil Oberman; in Toronto–St. Paul's, Conservative Don Stewart won a tight by-election less than a year ago, but may lose if the longtime Liberal stronghold returns red. To talk about those ridings and others—including races to watch in Winnipeg, York Centre, Outremont, Davenport, Thornhill, Eglinton-Lawrence, Toronto Centre and elsewhere—we'll hear from two reporters with The CJN. Joel Ceausu is our Montreal correspondent, and Jonathan Rothman has been reporting from Toronto. Both join The CJN Daily for an election-day preview of what are the issues at stake.

The Conservatives won long-time Liberal stronghold Toronto-St. Paul's in a byelection last summer, but some electors say they may turn red for this year’s federal election; as Hudson's Bay starts liquidating its remaining stores, a judge granted the historic retailer permission to move forward with an auction sale of store artifacts; and, a week-long survey of the TTC’s subway system costs about US$250,000, as engineers determine the track’s wear and tear.
Ontario PC Leader Doug Ford will remain premier for the next few years, the NDPs continue to be the official opposition party and the Liberals regained official party status; PC candidate Silvia Gualtieri defeated Ontario Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie in the Mississauga-East Cooksville riding, while the Liberals took the seat of Toronto-St. Paul's from NDP incumbent Jill Andrew; and, as U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff threat looms, Gram's Pizza decided to remove all American-made ingredients and products from its kitchen.

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.

fWotD Episode 2850: Eddie Gerard Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 22 February 2025 is Eddie Gerard.Edward George Gerard (February 22, 1890 – August 7, 1937) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player, coach, and manager. Born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, he played professionally for 10 seasons for his hometown Ottawa Senators. He spent the first three years of his playing career as a left winger before switching to defence, retiring in 1923 due to a throat ailment. Gerard won the Stanley Cup in four consecutive years from 1920 to 1923 (with the Senators three times, and as an injury replacement player with the Toronto St. Patricks in 1922), and was the first player to win the Cup four consecutive seasons. After his playing career he served as a coach and manager, working with the Montreal Maroons from 1925 until 1929, winning the Stanley Cup in 1926. Gerard also coached the New York Americans for two seasons between 1930 and 1932, before returning to the Maroons for two more seasons. He ended his career coaching the St. Louis Eagles in 1934, before retiring due to the same throat issue that had ended his playing career. He died from complications related to it in 1937.Renowned as a talented athlete in multiple sports, Gerard first gained prominence in rugby football as a halfback for the Ottawa Rough Riders club from 1909 to 1913, though he left the sport when he moved to hockey. Outside hockey he worked initially for the Canadian government as a printer, before working in the Geodetic Survey, ultimately becoming chief engineering clerk. Well-renowned during his hockey-playing career, he was regarded as one of the best defenders of his era, and gained notice for being a tough player, though not considered violent or dirty. Gerard was one of the original nine players inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame when it was founded in 1945. He is also an inductee of Canada's Sports Hall of Fame.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:48 UTC on Saturday, 22 February 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Eddie Gerard on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kendra.
Before the Toronto Maple Leafs existed, there was the Toronto St. Patricks. They only existed for a few years in the early-to-mid-1920s, but during that time they won the Stanley Cup in 1922 and had several legends on their roster.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has blasted the Toronto District School Board for allowing some teachers to “indoctrinate” students with anti-Israel chants during a recent field trip that was ostensibly a learning event about justice for Canada's Indigenous people. :"It's disgusting," Ford told reporters on Monday. Meanwhile, Ford's education minister, Jill Dunlop, also slammed what she called “activist” public school teachers, who she said compromised student safety and breached the trust of the parents who had signed permission forms. The event in question involved 15 public schools, which brought students to the annual Grassy Narrows River Run on Sept. 18. The rally and march spreads awareness about the First Nation community in remote Northwestern Ontario that has spent decades fighting for justice after a local factory poisoned their water system with mercury. But parents have reported that a few teachers with a pro-Palestine agenda used the event to spread their own message about a totally separate issue: the Middle East conflict. In videos posted online, they can be seen using a megaphone to lead their students in chanting anti-Israel slogans; some participants in the event are wearing keffiyehs, and carrying banners calling for "From Wabigoon (the lake near Grassy Narrows) to the Dead Sea, We will all be free." Shelley Laskin is a school board trustee who represents the heavily Jewish Ward 8 (Eglinton-Lawrence and Toronto-St. Paul's). Laskin joins The CJN Daily to explain why she demanded a special public school board meeting be held this Wednesday, Sept. 25, to look into the incident that “erodes the public trust” in Canada's largest school board.

The Toronto–St. Paul's byelection ensured that this political summer would be a hot one, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faces serious dissent within his caucus for perhaps the first time since becoming leader in 2013. What does this summer have in store for him and his Liberals and Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives?To break it all down, I'm joined again by (most of) the pollster panel.Dan Arnold, chief strategy officer at Pollara, was director of research and advertising in Justin Trudeau's prime minister's office and the Liberals' pollster during the last three federal election campaigns.Andrew Enns is executive vice-president at Léger. He conducted polling for the Conservatives in Stephen Harper's last three campaigns and has polled for provincial conservative parties across Canada.Unfortunately, James Valcke was unable to join us this week.THE NUMBERS: On this week's episode of The Numbers podcast, available for Patreon members here, we discuss the latest national poll numbers and new developments within the Liberal Party — what does it mean for Justin Trudeau's future? We also chat about where things stand in Ontario and whether an early election call poses any risk to Doug Ford's polling lead. In the mailbag, we guess at who is more likely to step aside — Biden or Trudeau — as well as what to watch in the upcoming LaSalle–Émard–Verdun byelection.

July 3, 2024 - Students who organized a pro-Palestinian encampment at the University of Toronto say they have cleared the site ahead of a court-ordered deadline to leave on Wednesday. CBC's Idil Mussa reports from campus. Plus, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau won't say whether he will hold a national caucus meeting to discuss the fallout from his party's byelection loss in Toronto-St. Paul's. The Power Panel weighs in.
July 2, 2024 - After at least nine Liberal MPs signed a letter calling for an in-person caucus meeting to discuss the party's Toronto-St. Paul's byelection loss, Newfoundland and Labrador MP Ken McDonald and deputy government House leader Mark Gerretsen share with Power & Politics their views on Justin Trudeau's leadership.
A collapse of their Toronto—St. Paul fortress is just the beginning. All that remains to be seen is how extensive the Liberals' inevitable ruin will be once Justin Trudeau's strange, destructive experiment is over. As Liberal activist and strategist Andrew Perez tells Brian, the prime minister has made the once-mighty, centrist “natural governing” party into something unrecognizable — and likely unelectable — by driving out moderates and effectively merging with the NDP. While pundits and politicos gossip about when or whether Trudeau will quit, Perez says Liberals face a more existential crisis, years in the making. The party is lost. And it's not clear how, or under whom, it can find its way again. (Recorded June 28, 2024) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Justin Trudeau and the Liberals appear to be in big trouble.

June 27, 2024 - The Liberals' stunning loss in the Toronto-St. Paul's byelection on Monday has fuelled conversations inside the caucus about the party's prospects and the future of Justin Trudeau's leadership.

Power & Politics hears from a former chief campaign strategist for the Liberals.
Conservative MP Marc Dalton introduced a private member's bill to amend the Criminal Code to include specific arson offences targeting places of worship. He is also seeking a new offence for causing a wildfire. Plus, Jewish voters overwhelmingly supported the Conservative in Toronto—St. Paul's byelection, according to a new poll.

The last time a Conservative won a federal vote in the riding of Toronto-St. Paul's, it was 1988. The Soviet Union was still together. Brian Mulroney was Prime Minister. The territory of Nunavut wouldn't be created for more than a decade.But on Monday, in a by-election in the riding, the Conservatives took the Liberal stronghold riding back for the first time in over thirty years. Does this spell electoral doom for the Liberals? Where does the party go from here? And despite his insistence that he'll stay on, can Justin Trudeau really remain the party leader? John Paul Tasker is a senior reporter with CBC's parliamentary bureau.
Toronto-St. Paul's had been a Liberal seat for more than 30 years. Not anymore. In the early hours of Tuesday morning, the Conservative candidate pulled off the upset and sent shockwaves through both parties, and the public. How did they do it?Everyone knew the Liberals, as well as Justin Trudeau, were unpopular—but if any riding was supposed to be safe for them it was this one.

Justin Trudeau says he's not going anywhere after the Liberal party's embarrassing loss in Toronto—St. Paul's. Today, Liberal cabinet ministers have been lining up to say they have confidence in him while pledging to do better to listen to Canadians. True North's Andrew Lawton says it's clearly too little too late, although Trudeau is the only one who doesn't see it (or refuses to acknowledge it). Also, this week the government is fighting in the Federal Court of Appeal to defend its plastics ban – a ban predicated on the false claim that plastic is "toxic." The Canadian Constitution Foundation is intervening in the case against the ban. CCF litigation director Christine Van Geyn joins the show to discuss. Plus, did rampant antisemitism help drive Liberal voters to the Conservatives in Monday's byelection? An upstart third party group called Jewish Ally campaigned to mobilize Jews and their allies to support Tory candidate Don Stewart, who narrowly won the race. Jewish Ally founders Andrew Kirsch and Stephen Taylor join the show to discuss why they did it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
June 26, 2024 - Cabinet ministers are standing by the prime minister publicly but the shocking byelection loss in Toronto-St. Paul's has some Liberal MPs privately questioning Justin Trudeau's leadership. Power & Politics hears from Health Minister Mark Holland. And our panel of political insiders weighs in on what comes next for Trudeau's Liberals.
Liberals lose riding of Toronto-St. Paul's to Conservatives after more than 30 years. More than 50 protesters reportedly shot outside Kenya's parliament.Julian Assange on his way to freedom after making deal with US authorities.
The federal Conservatives won a shocking byelection victory in Toronto-St. Paul's on Monday night, a seat held by the Liberals for more than 30 years. The Toronto Star's Stephanie Levitz explains why this was a “calculated” win for the Conservatives, and what it might mean for Justin Trudeau's future as Liberal leader.
An upset in a Toronto byelection gives Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives a seat in Toronto. Many considered Toronto-St. Paul's to be one of the safest Liberal seats in the country. The Conservative win raises questions about the political future of Justin Trudeau. And: Canadians are being squeezed by rising prices. That cost of living crisis got a little worse last month. Statistics Canada reports the annual rate of inflation ticked up unexpectedly. Prices rose by 2.9 per cent in May… and that just may force the Bank of Canada to rethink interest rate cuts. Plus: Kenya's capital Nairobi is in chaos. Thousands of protesters have stormed parliament and set fire to parts of it during widespread public backlash against tax increases.
Most Liberals went to bed thinking they had won the Toronto–St. Paul's byelection, but when all the ballots were counted, the Conservatives had managed to narrowly take hold of the Liberal stronghold, electing Don Stewart as the newest MP. These results are catastrophic for Justin Trudeau, True North's Andrew Lawton argues. He discusses with longtime political journalist and author Paul Wells, and then brings in National Post columnist Rahim Mohamed. Do you think Trudeau will resign over this?

We discuss the stunning byelection upset for the Liberal Party in the Ontario riding of Toronto-St. Pauls, which has reignited questions about the future of Justin Trudeau's leadership. We discuss the fallout with two former political strategists Rachael Segal, Beyond a Ballot CEO, and former senior director for BC United; and Amanda Alvaro, Pomp & Circumstance PR president and co-founder, former Liberal Party communication strategist.
The long-awaited Toronto—St. Paul's byelection is today, and Liberal cabinet ministers have descended on the Liberal stronghold to try to get the vote out at a time when Justin Trudeau is twenty points behind Pierre Poilievre in national polls. While the Liberals may still win the riding, they have spent the last two weeks trying to lower expectations to soften the embarrassment that may be coming to them, True North's Andrew Lawton says. Also, Naheed Nenshi is now the Alberta NDP leader. We'll talk about what that means with Lindsay Wilson from Alberta Proud. Canadian Taxpayers Federation Alberta director Kris Sims returns for her Monday checkin talking about the high-flying catering bill Trudeau racked up on one of his foreign trips.

Also: Voters in the Toronto-St. Pauls riding will be heading to the polls tomorrow in a byelection, as the riding's history as a Liberal stronghold is being put to the test. Plus: A star-powered ad calling for an end to salmon farming has a coalition of B.C. First Nations demanding an apology.
With the high-stakes byelection in Toronto–St. Paul's on Monday, I invited David Coletto, chair and CEO of Abacus Data, to come back on the podcast to do another polling deep-dive — this time on on where things stand in Toronto and beyond.Armed with reams of polling data, we take a look at Battleground Toronto, as well as Justin Trudeau's standing among various demographic groups across the country as speculation about the future of his leadership continues. We also compare where the polls stand, 16 months out from the next election, to where polls stood at this point in the calendar before the 2015, 2019 and 2021 campaigns.THE NUMBERS: On this week's episode of The Numbers podcast, available for Patreon members here, we discuss the set of polls that suggest (as expected) that the Liberals are not in the midst of a comeback — quite the opposite. We also make our over/under bets on Monday's Toronto–St. Paul's byelection. Will the Conservatives pull off an upset? Then, we chat about the results of the Tuxedo byelection in Manitoba and a new poll out of British Columbia. We answer questions from the mailbag (could we be replaced by AI?) and Philippe has a tough quiz for me.In addition to listening to this episode of The Writ Podcast in your inbox, at TheWrit.ca or on podcast apps like Apple Podcasts, you can also watch this episode on YouTube.

Harry's House is the third studio album of English singer and songwriter, Harry Styles. It won Album of the Year at the February 2023 Grammy Awards and also at the 2023 Brit Awards. The album combines pop-funk, pop rock, new wave, and synth-pop. Titles or names as a means of depiction. Styles can be titles, designations or proclamations. Madonna was styled as the queen of pop. Consultants sometimes become self-styled experts. In law, the “style of cause” is the title given to a case, such as Roe v. Wade. Looks that speak passion For de rigueur fashion. In the fashion context, styles connote distinctive looks according to design, creativity, elegance, sophistication and, occasionally, practicality. Different conventions in spelling and diction. While styles may imply creativity in the fashion context, styles in spelling and diction involve strict conventions that differ depending on where you learned your English. For example, Labour (Labor) Day recognises (recognizes) an additional day off work at (on) the weekend, if you're British (or American). Canadians, BTW, tend to be bilingual when it comes to English.

The polls suggest that Premier Wab Kinew is in the midst of a honeymoon after the Manitoba NDP's victory last year, but that honeymoon will be put to the test on June 18 when voters go to the polls in the riding of Tuxedo, the seat of former premier Heather Stefanson and a riding that nearly joined most of the rest of the city in turning orange in October's provincial election.But Tuxedo won't be the only Winnipeg battleground in 2024, as a federal byelection will have to be held in Elmwood–Transcona in the next few months. The federal NDP, not nearly as buoyant in the polls as their provincial cousins, could have a fight on its hands to hold off the Conservatives in this seat.To discuss the first months of Wab Kinew's government and the upcoming electoral contests taking place in Winnipeg, as well as how the city is shaping up ahead of the 2025 federal election, I'm joined by Ian Froese, the CBC's provincial affairs reporter in Manitoba.THE NUMBERS: On this week's episode of The Numbers podcast, available for Patreon members here, we chat about the upcoming byelection in Toronto–St. Paul's and what's at stake for the Liberals in what has traditionally been a safe seat.
