Episode Synopsis

The town of Hinton stepped up last week to support the people of Jasper displaced by the devastating wildfires. We had the chance to catch up with the Mayor of Hinton, Nicholas Nissen, about how his community has come together to support their neighbours down the highway and the continuing road ahead to recovery.
 
Next, just when you thought searching for a new job was hard enough, now your application has to make it past artificial intelligence just to get a shot at an interview. We discuss how AI is changing the ‘landscape’ when it comes to job-hunting with Michelle Slater, Senior Director at “Indeed.ca”.
 
Finally. “Happy Meals” are now leaving customers with a “Frown”. For the first time in 4 years, McDonald’s has seen a decline in sales and according to analysts, it all has to do with higher prices on the menu. We “dig in” to the topic with Sylvain Charlebois, Professor and Director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University.
