CUSMA Wasn’t Renewed: The 10-Year Clock Now Running on Your Job, Prices and Savings

  Canadian Money Brief | Feature CUSMA Wasn't Renewed: The 10-Year Clock Now Running on Your Job, Prices and Savings By MoneySavings.ca | Published November 2, 2026 Quick quiz: is Canada's free trade deal with the United States still in place? The honest answer is yes and no. The agreement known here as CUSMA is still in force, but since July 1 it has been on a different footing, and the way it plays out over the next decade matters to your paycheque, your grocery bill and your savings. Most of us missed the moment because nothing visibly changed that day. That is exactly why it deserves a closer look, especially with the federal budget arriving Thursday.

Bitcoin Hits Record High, Analysts Predict $100,000 Milestone

 

Bitcoin surged to a new all-time high this week, surpassing $70,000 amid growing optimism about institutional adoption and a favorable regulatory outlook. The milestone has reignited discussions about the cryptocurrency’s potential to reach $100,000, a target long anticipated by bullish investors and analysts.

Recent developments, including the approval of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and heightened interest from large asset managers, have fueled demand. Additionally, global economic uncertainties and inflation concerns have bolstered Bitcoin’s appeal as a hedge.

Market experts suggest the psychological $100,000 mark could be achievable by early 2025 if current trends persist. “Bitcoin’s scarcity, combined with growing institutional involvement, creates a strong foundation for long-term growth,” said a report from Glassnode.

However, analysts caution against potential volatility, noting that Bitcoin’s price movements often correlate with shifts in market sentiment and macroeconomic developments.

As Bitcoin continues its upward trajectory, its role in the global financial ecosystem appears increasingly significant, sparking renewed interest from retail and institutional investors alike.
