AI can draft a resume. It can help translate one career into the language of another. What it cannot do, according to career development leader Candy Ho, is connect the dots of a life and help someone talk about themselves effectively in a room with another human being.

The more overlooked problem is on the employer side. A rejected candidate who impressed the hiring team represents an open door most companies never walk through. Candy Ho says internal career centres within organizations are an emerging answer, and CERIC has recently published research on exactly that.

The hidden job market is still real. Candy Ho's last three clients did not apply online. They conducted information interviews, showed up at networking events, updated their LinkedIn profiles, and were top of mind when positions opened. The long game is still the game.

Most Jobs Are Filled Before They're Posted. Here's What to Do About It

Four years of saving points. One redemption. And the taxes and fees still took a $900 bite out of a flight that was supposed to be free. That's the moment most people quietly give up on the whole idea.

Patrick Sojka never did. He's built a specific combination of cards and programs that gets a flight to zero dollars, taxes and fees included, and it has nothing to do with hoarding points for years. It comes down to which two tools you pair, and most flyers only ever use one.

There's also a fare-class habit almost nobody checks before booking, and it's costing people money in the exact opposite direction they'd expect. Sojka walks through both, live, with real numbers from real flights.

NEW - Flying for Free Isn't Dead. It Just Got Harder

A $6 billion bridge, a private partner, and a new rule that changes the usual math entirely: no profit until the debt gets repaid first. Tim Powers breaks down why this Gordie Howe Bridge deal reads differently than the profit-first agreements Canadians are used to seeing.

Powers walks through the accounting sleight of hand that could reshape how the debt actually looks on paper, from asset valuation to depreciation, and why a complicated deal might work in the Prime Minister's favour by being hard to challenge in a soundbite. He argues political support around Windsor may shield the deal from serious pushback regardless of the fine print.

The conversation also drifts back to 2011, when Jack Layton led the NDP into official opposition for the only time in the party's history, before cancer cut his tenure short within months. Powers reflects on what Canadian politics might look like today had Layton had more time.

Shiftheads - The Bridge Deal Where Nobody Gets Paid Until Debt Clears

Normally a spacewalk sends out two people. One time in NASA history, it sent out three, because a massive satellite wasn't cooperating and somebody suggested becoming a human tripod instead. Robert Pearlman still has the footage in his head, and he's not the only one who does.

He was also one of the last journalists to get that close to a space shuttle before it flew for good. Not press-line close. Launch-pad close, training-room close, the kind of access NASA only hands out once everyone already knows it's ending. What he watched that day wasn't just a rocket leaving the ground.

Down the road from a real 184-foot shuttle on display sits a brand new museum full of Star Wars props. Pearlman has stood in front of both, and only one of them stopped him cold the second he turned the corner. Guess which.
