Budget 2026 Lands Nov. 5: What to Do (and Not Do) With Your RRSP and TFSA First

  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.

Mark Carney Applauds U.S. Court Ruling Against Trump-Era Tariffs

In a significant legal development, former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney has welcomed a recent U.S. court decision that blocks tariffs imposed under former President Donald Trump’s administration. The ruling, seen as a victory for free trade advocates, overturns restrictive measures that had drawn criticism from international economic leaders.

Carney, a strong proponent of open markets, commended the decision, emphasizing its positive impact on global economic stability and trade relationships. He noted that reducing trade barriers fosters economic growth and strengthens partnerships between nations. Analysts suggest that the ruling may lead to a reassessment of protectionist trade policies, potentially benefiting businesses reliant on cross-border commerce.

While supporters of the tariffs argue they were necessary to protect domestic industries, critics—including Carney—have consistently warned of their unintended consequences, such as increased costs for consumers and strained diplomatic relations.

As the global economy continues to navigate post-pandemic challenges, the court’s decision signals a possible shift in trade policy, encouraging further discussions on economic cooperation and market accessibility.
