Episode 342: AI and Canadian Jobs - Will Automation Replace Your Work?
Episode 356
Tuesday, 3 February, 2026
AI isn’t coming; it’s already here. And the real question most Canadians are asking is: Is my job safe? On this episode of Think Smart with TMFG, we talk about how AI is already showing up in Canadian workplaces and why the reality is much more nuanced than the headlines suggest. We look at how technology has reshaped work throughout history, from farming and manufacturing to today’s knowledge economy, and why AI is more likely to change the nature of many jobs rather than simply wipe them out. We also discuss which roles may be more exposed to automation, why repetitive and routine tasks are at higher risk, and how factors like education, age, and adaptability affect long-term career resilience. From a planning perspective, we share why learning to work with AI, instead of resisting it, can help you stay relevant, productive, and valuable as the labour market evolves. And we talk about why human skills like judgment, empathy, and behavioural guidance still matter deeply, especially in fields like healthcare, law, and financial advice. The core message? AI isn’t “you versus the machine.” The future belongs to people who learn to work alongside AI and use it to enhance the value they bring to others. Question for our listeners: Are you preparing your career and long-term plans for a world where AI plays a bigger role? 📌 If you’d like help thinking through how changes in your work could affect your financial plan, book a meeting with our team here: Schedule your meeting here. 🎧 Click here to listen on YouTube.
