At the same time, health workers in Vermont protested job cuts at a local health system. A new Indigenous hiring program started in a northern Ontario hub to help locals find work. The program aims to add jobs as tech layoffs spread across Canada. These mixed signals show how automation and financial pressure are reshaping fields.
