  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.

Poilievre's Leadership Under Scrutiny: Conservative Party Faces Critical Decision

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre may soon face a leadership review, with discussions emerging about the party's direction following the recent federal election. Under party rules, Poilievre is subject to a review at the next Conservative convention, though the exact date remains undecided. 

Despite losing his Ottawa-area seat of Carleton, Poilievre has maintained confidence in his leadership, pointing to the party’s overall gains in votes and seats. However, some within the party have raised concerns about the campaign’s messaging and strategy, fueling speculation about potential challenges to his leadership. 

Poilievre is currently preparing to run in a byelection in Alberta’s Battle River-Crowfoot riding, a move designed to bring him back into the House of Commons. Meanwhile, Conservative MPs are weighing their options, with many publicly supporting Poilievre while others push for a reassessment of the party’s future. 

As the Conservative Party navigates this critical juncture, the leadership review could prove pivotal in shaping its trajectory ahead of the next federal election.
