The Canada Strong Fund — Invest Like the Government

  Published on MoneySavings.ca | Personal Finance | May 2026 Imagine being able to put your savings into the same fund the federal government is betting $25 billion on. For the first time in Canadian history, that's exactly what Ottawa is offering you — a front-row seat (and a direct stake) in the country's biggest nation-building push in generations. On April 28, 2026, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Canada's first national sovereign wealth fund — the Canada Strong Fund. It's a bold, headline-grabbing idea: let everyday Canadians invest directly alongside the government in the ports, pipelines, mines, and infrastructure projects shaping our economic future. But before you start redirecting your TFSA contributions, let's break down exactly what this fund is, what it promises, what it costs — and whether it might belong in your financial plan.

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Career and financial matters are going to be of major importance to you over the coming months and there is every possibility that you will have moved several rungs up the ladder of success by this time next year. It’s not wrong to be ambitious.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

The next few days should be a lot of fun but before you hit the town there is a relationship issue that needs to be dealt with. Whatever disagreements there may be between you and a loved one you must put them behind you once and for all.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Don’t allow yourself to be intimidated by people who act tough but really are not that formidable. As a general rule of thumb, the more someone threatens you today the less of a danger they actually are. Ignore them and move on.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Mercury, your ruler, links with Jupiter today, which among other things means you can allow yourself to indulge in some wishful thinking. It’s always good to have something too look forward to and on this occasion that something may be closer than you think.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

The tasks you have been working on these past few weeks may have taken a toll on your energy but with Mars in your sign you are nowhere near your limit, so keep working and keep dreaming and keep achieving what others say cannot be done!

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

If you want to resolve a problem of some kind you need to approach it from a different angle. If you continue to use methods that are so obviously out of date you will get nowhere fast and your frustrations will keep growing. Move with the times!

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

Why are you so fearful about the future? Despite what some people might be saying the end is not nigh and there is no reason why you should believe the worst is going to happen. Strive to be a voice of optimistic reason in a pessimistic world.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

You may be inclined to forgive someone who has been taking liberties but what kind of signal might that send to other people? Put your foot down and make sure rivals get the message that you are not the soft touch they think you are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

No matter what you may have planned for the next few days you would be wise to take life at a less hectic pace for a bit. Yes, of course, there are personal and professional commitments that must be honoured but don’t overdo it. Be kind to yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Your financial situation may be giving you some concern but if you are smart you can find ways to improve your cash flow between now and the end of the week. Join forces with people who share your commercial ambitions. Make some money together.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

Mars in your opposite sign has been throwing a harsh light on both personal and professional relationships of late but as Venus is part of the picture today there will be some good news for a change. Not everyone thinks of you as the enemy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

What happens today will remind you that it is a mistake to take people for granted. You may think you know everything there is to know about a friend or relative but they have secrets just like you. Don’t dig too deep to find out what they are.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Venus and Mars join forces across the most dynamic angles of your chart today, making this the ideal time to let loved ones know how much you appreciate their efforts. Don’t just say the words, find ways to prove to them you think they’re the best.
