## Resource

In today’s episode of The Peak Daily , we look at how a Toronto biotech is using AI to rescue promising drug candidates that Big Pharma left behind — and what that could mean for the cost and speed of new treatments. Plus, Canada’s Armed Forces hit recruitment targets again as pay boosts and expanded eligibility bring more people (including permanent residents) into the ranks. Then in The Big Picture: Tim Cook’s CEO succession at Apple, gas-driven inflation, and Alberta moving to year-round daylight time.
