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.

Raging Wildfires Force Saskatchewan into State of Emergency

 

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe has declared a provincewide state of emergency as wildfires continue to spread uncontrollably across the region. The declaration, which will remain in effect for 30 days, grants emergency powers to officials to mobilize resources and protect communities.

The fires have already forced more than 4,000 residents to evacuate, with the hardest-hit area being Pelican Narrows, near the Manitoba border. Saskatchewan is the second province to declare an emergency, following Manitoba’s decision on Wednesday as fires displaced 17,000 people, including all residents of Flin Flon.

Premier Moe emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating that the province needs rainfall to help contain the fires, but forecasts remain dry. Officials are urging residents to report wildfires and stay informed through daily updates from the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency.
