## Resource

Tim Hortons is changing course on temporary foreign workers and aiming to hire 10,000 Canadians as critics say the program has helped suppress wages and add pressure to housing and healthcare. Then, we look at new research showing how quickly open-source AI models’ safety guardrails can be removed through a technique called “obliteration,” raising fresh concerns about misuse. Plus, from Vancouver’s protests over AI data centres to the latest on Middle East diplomacy and Canada’s wildfire response. The Peak Daily is produced in partnership with reframevid.com
