    This week on TRF: Tidal wave of flight cancellations when WestJet mechanics strike for 1 day, exposing our tender underbelly of having only 2 airlines to choose from in Canada.  Mardi-Gras with horses and cowboys, also known as the Calgary Stampede. The whole city dressed up in costume for 10 days leads to a spike in divorce rates and a baby boom.  IN THE NEWS CareerBuilder & Monster mashed up into one. The once mighty rivals have now joined forces to what some call the Brangelina marriage of job boards.  UKG took a sword to their middle management and laid off over 2,000 people, the day before America’s favorite holiday, the 4th of July!
