5 Things to Know Today About Your Money — May 12, 2026

  A lot is happening in the Canadian money world right now. From a new sovereign wealth fund you can actually invest in, to lower payroll costs coming your way, here are the five things every Canadian should know about their money today. 1.

Governor Tiff Macklem has flagged that the economy is growing at a moderate pace as it adjusts to U.S. tariffs, but inflation — now around 2.4% — is edging up due to higher oil prices tied to the ongoing Middle East conflict.

Alleged Collusion: Parliamentarians Face Accusations of Treason



In a recent report from the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP), shocking allegations have emerged. According to the report, sitting federal politicians are allegedly “witting” participants in foreign interference schemes. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh minced no words, declaring these parliamentarians as “traitors to the country” for their alleged collaboration with foreign governments.

The report highlights several concerning actions by these politicians:

  1. Mobilizing Voters: Some parliamentarians are accused of working with foreign missions to mobilize voters during political campaigns.
  2. Financial Ties: Others allegedly accepted cash from foreign missions or their proxies, either knowingly or through willful blindness.
  3. Sharing Privileged Information: The report suggests that certain parliamentarians shared privileged information with foreign diplomatic officials.

While Green Party Leader Elizabeth May downplayed the report’s significance, Singh remains deeply concerned. He places the blame on the leadership of both Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre for failing to address the issue.

As the nation grapples with these serious allegations, the question remains: How will Canada respond to this breach of trust by its elected representatives?
