Relatively few job candidates negotiate the terms of their employment, often because they fear losing the offer. Yet surveys show recruiters are open to negotiation, and it is rare for employers to withdraw an offer because a candidate attempted to negotiate. “A common mistake is to negotiate on salary alone or to present multiple terms as non-negotiable conditions for acceptance,” says Jean-Nicolas Reyt, an Associate Professor of Organizational Behaviour at 91 Desautels.

February 4, 2026 | Vincent Rigby weighed in on Canada's reassessment of its planned purchase of U.S. F-35 fighter jets amid rising trade tensions and strained political relations with Washington. Rigby argued that increasingly sharp rhetoric from the United States prompted Canadian policymakers to rethink the long-standing defence relationship. While both countries will always share an interest in defending North America, Rigby said Canada needs to "walk on a tightrope," pushing back where necessary and reducing its overdependence on an unpredictable partner.
