AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

AI Hiring Shake-Up: HeroHire just launched an autonomous AI recruiter aimed at the “messy middle” of small-to-mid-size hiring—promising faster shortlists by sourcing, screening, ranking, and rescoring candidates through a voice interface. Local Business Boost: Toronto’s CaféTO outdoor dining program is back for Victoria Day weekend, letting restaurants expand patios onto sidewalks and curb space—though owners still weigh the permit work and costs. Labour Market Warning: Canadian entrepreneur Yanik Guillemette says job losses are accelerating into a structural spiral, citing 112,000+ jobs gone since early 2026 and sharp youth unemployment. Skills & Immigration: B.C. issued 437 invitations in its latest Skills Immigration draw under the “Innovate” initiative, targeting high-wage and TEER 0–3 job offers. Education & Reconciliation: People for Education is expanding nationally with “The Education Promise,” building a pan-Canadian plan to strengthen publicly funded classrooms.
