A demographic timebomb
It’s no secret that Canada’s population is aging.
Life expectancy has increased over the 20th century, while the birth rate is declining.
A 2006 Canadian Senate report predicted that by 2031, 25 per cent of Canadians will be 65 or older.
After 2040, Canada’s population is projected to begin decreasing gradually.
What isn’t clear is what that will mean for Canadians, and for the generation currently in school.

The talking body: making an impression
Eye contact and firm handshakes are key to acing a job interview, career advisers agree.
“The handshake is probably the most important since it’s your first interaction with the interviewer,” said Allison Nawoj, a career advisor with Career Builder. “You don’t want to be too firm, you also don’t want to be too weak.”

The talking body: poker face
Body language is the key that separates the great from the average in poker.
At least, according to Mark Hubbard, a fourth-year biology student at Dalhousie University and the winner of the online University Poker Championship.
Mark, who plays casino poker as well as online poker, said he is a believer in deciphering body language, or “tells,” in his opponents.
Tells are the physical signs that a poker player gives that hint at the strength of the hand he has.
