SPECIAL: A Very Orthodox Jewish Christmas (Unpacking the News ep110 w/ Tommy Schnurmacher‪)‬ Spirits & Spirituality

Accidental babysitting for John Lennon and Yoko Ono, nostalgia and memory on Montreal’s Plateau Mont-Royal and why Stephen Harper is a terrible dinner guest. Plus: how the origins of the ‘Canada is Fake’ movement may lie in the 1995 Referendum.

All this and more with political commentator, talk radio legend and author of the new memoir 'Make-up Tips From Auschwitz: How Vanity Saved My Mother's Life' Tommy Schnurmacher on a very special holiday episode of the award-winning weekly politics and society interview podcast Unpacking the News.
