Bill C-30 Just Passed: 5 Ways It Changes Your Wallet in 2026

  Canadian Money Brief Bill C-30 just received Royal Assent — and it touches your gas tank, your TFSA neighbour the RRSP, your CPP statement, and your tax return all at once. Here are the five changes that actually matter for your wallet. 1. The Federal Fuel Excise Tax Is Suspended Until September 7 The federal excise tax on gasoline and diesel is paused from April 20 through September 7, 2026 — shaving 10 cents per litre off gas and 4 cents off diesel at the pump. The tax break also extends to aviation fuel. If you're road-tripping this summer, the savings show up automatically; you don't need to do anything to claim it. Just don't expect it to last past Labour Day weekend, since the suspension is scheduled to expire September 7. 2. Home Buyers' Plan Repayment Window Triples — From 2 Years to 5 If you used your RRSP to fund a down payment through the Home Buyers' Plan, the grace period before you have to start repaying yourself is extending from two years to five, ...

Your daily horoscope: October 30, 2023

 


HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Don’t be shy about sharing your opinions over the coming year. If there are things that need to be said then speak up about them and make sure everyone knows how you feel. Communication is a must if you are to enjoy both personal and professional success.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

There will be times over the next few days when you seriously begin to wonder if you are doing the right thing. Confront those doubts but don’t let them overwhelm you. You are still heading in the right direction, so make nothing more than minor changes.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Cosmic activity in your opposite sign will make it easier for you to understand why partners and loved ones act the way they do, but only if you make a genuine effort to see things from their point of view. Not everyone thinks like you Taurus!

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

You are certainly no stranger to hard work but with both the sun and Mars moving through the well-being area of your chart at the moment you must take care not to overdo it either physically or mentally. Go easy on yourself today.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Your attitude toward life has improved no end over the past week or so and long may that continue. Now you can see that some of those “bad” things that caused you so much grief were actually blessings in disguise. The universe is still on your side.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

Your way with words will open doors that had previously been locked to you but don’t rush blindly through them. Make sure you have a fair idea of what lies beyond each of those doors, because if you take the wrong one there could be an unpleasant surprise.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

Mercury, your ruler and planet of communication, is on fine form at the moment. Even if you are the sort of Virgo who prefers not to go into detail about what you are up to it will pay you to be more open today – but not too much!

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

If you allow your confidence to lull you into a false sense of security you could regret it later on when you realize you are heading down the wrong path. Retrace your footsteps if you have to – better still, don’t make the wrong choice in the first place.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Cosmic activity in your birth sign is so intense at the moment that your outlook on life is sure to be challenged. The good news is that your enhanced way of looking at the world will enable you to perceive opportunities you previously managed to miss.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

What a friend or colleague tells you today may sound convincing but can you be sure they know what they are talking about? The planets warn you need to be on your guard at every moment, while testing everything you hear, even from trusted sources.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

Look closely at what you are currently working on and ask yourself honestly if you are making the best use of your time and energy. If in doubt don’t be afraid to get a second opinion from someone who has been there and done it before you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

You know you have what it takes to move higher up the ladder of success but you also know that sacrifices will have to be made. Make it your No. 1 task today to assess the pros and cons of the commitment your ambitions will require of you.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Any doubts you have about what you are working on, either on your own or as part of a team, will disappear today. Not only is it a good idea but it may actually be a great idea, the kind that has the power to transform your existence.
