  CANADIAN MONEY BRIEF  |  FEATURE  |  OCT. 23, 2026 The federal budget is 13 days away, tax-reform calls are getting louder, and “act now” headlines are about to pile up. Here’s what is actually confirmed, what is just lobbying, and what to leave alone. Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne told the House of Commons on Oct. 20 that Budget 2026 will be tabled on Nov. 5 . It is the second budget since the Liberals moved the fiscal plan to the fall, and it lands two days after the U.S. midterm elections. Between now and then, expect a flood of speculation about RRSPs, TFSAs and capital gains. Before you move a dollar, it helps to separate three things: what’s confirmed, what’s being asked for, and what the rules say today.

Cancer Prevention and Risk Reduction: A Comprehensive Guide

Cancer is a disease that affects millions of people worldwide. While there is no guaranteed way to prevent cancer, there are several steps you can take to reduce your risk of developing it. According to the Canadian Cancer Society, about 4 in 10 cancer cases can be prevented through healthy living and policies that protect the health of Canadians. Here are some tips to help you reduce your risk of cancer:

  1. Live smoke-free: The single most important thing you can do to reduce your risk of cancer is to live smoke-free.
  2. Eat well: Eating well is an important part of reducing your cancer risk. A healthy diet should include plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
  3. Maintain a healthy body weight: Besides living smoke-free, having a healthy body weight is one of the best things you can do to reduce cancer risk.
  4. Move more, sit less: Not enough physical activity and too much sitting increases your cancer risk. Aim for 30 minutes of activity every day and take frequent, short breaks from sitting.
  5. Limit alcohol: Drinking any type or amount of alcohol increases your risk of developing cancer. The less alcohol you drink, the lower your cancer risk.

In addition to these tips, the Mayo Clinic recommends avoiding tobacco, protecting your skin from the sun, and checking your family history for cancer diagnoses. It’s important to note that while these tips can help reduce your risk of cancer, they are not a guarantee against the disease. If you have concerns about your cancer risk, talk to your doctor.
