This Heritage Voices episode features a few members of a session from the 2024 Theoretical Archaeology Group meeting in Santa Fe. Today's guests included Dr. Lindsay Montgomery (Associate Professor of Anthropology and Indigenous Studies at the University of Toronto St. George campus), Dr. Kalani Heinz (Assistant Professor of American Indian Studies at California State University Northridge), and Dusti Bridges (Ph.D. Student in Anthropology at Cornell University). We talked about some of the ways their session and the TAG Santa Fe meeting took some different approaches than other conferences and sessions. The three of them then broke down the concept of Indigenous Futurities for Jessica and showed how this concept shows up in different ways across the work that the three of them do.

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. Related links The CJN's Jonathan Rothman takes the temperature of Jewish voters across Canada ahead of the April 28 federal election.

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.

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. Finally, we close with a Quiz on the 1997 federal election.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.

Justin Trudeau and the Liberals appear to be in big trouble. Following a stunning loss in the Toronto-St. Paul's by-election to the Conservatives – a riding they've held handily for the last 30 years – the federal government is at risk of losing big in the next federal election, currently set for October 2025.

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.

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.
