    Nokia launched construction on a 750,000-square-foot innovation campus in Ottawa's Kanata North Tech Park, focusing on AI networks, quantum-safe tech, 6G, and data centers. It will house over 1,900 R&D professionals, backed by $72 million in public funds and Nokia's $340 million investment, tied to 340 new high-value jobs and student co-ops. Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke criticized the subsidies as costly taxpayer support that favors foreign firms over Canadian ones, while ministers praised it for bolstering national tech leadership in secure networks and AI. https://x.com/tobi/status/1993716353660817476?s=20

    As a funny follow up, I asked the reddit admins why they took it down and if it's common practice to ban subs without any sort of prior communication or warning. I haven't heard from them. I guess I'm not really surprised lol.

    COBS BREAD in St. Albert, Alberta (T8N 5T8) is looking for a salesperson - retail at $16.90/hr. COBS BREAD is offering a retail salesperson role in St. Albert at $16.90 per hour under the TFW program. It's interesting to see entry-level retail positions still requiring foreign workers amid Alberta's job market. Does this wage truly reflect a lack of available Canadians, or could local hiring efforts be more robust? What specific labour market challenges justify the LMIA approval here? Please share this with any Canadians you know who might qualify to help fill these spots, and post it to Facebook or X communities so more locals can apply.
