This week, we're exploring two very different companies that are essential to major global industries. We contrast a Canadian titan in AI and IT services with a junior mining company focused on metals critical for national defense.

Jon Brown looks at CGI Inc. (TSX: GIB.A), a global IT and business consulting powerhouse that is deeply involved in the AI revolution, making it a stable, large-cap way to play the tech boom. Then, Trevor Abes dives into Power Metals Corp. (TSXV: PWM), a small-cap exploration company whose focus on defense-critical metals like cesium and lithium positions it to benefit from growing geopolitical demand.

This Episode's Picks:

CGI Inc. (TSX: GIB.A): A leading Canadian multinational IT and business consulting firm, offering investors stable exposure to the long-term growth of artificial intelligence and digital transformation.
