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.

Starship's Latest Flight Ends in Turbulence: SpaceX Faces Another Setback

 

SpaceX launched its Starship rocket once again, aiming to push the boundaries of space exploration. However, despite high hopes, the mission ended in disappointment as the spacecraft tumbled out of control and ultimately broke apart. 

The 403-foot rocket lifted off from Starbase, Texas, marking its ninth test flight. SpaceX had planned to deploy mock satellites, but a malfunctioning payload door prevented the release. Shortly after, the spacecraft began spinning uncontrollably, leading to an uncontrolled descent into the Indian Ocean. 

CEO Elon Musk acknowledged the setback but emphasized that this flight was a "big improvement" compared to previous attempts, which ended in fiery explosions over the Atlantic. Despite the failure, Musk remains optimistic, promising a faster launch cadence, with a new Starship flight every three to four weeks. 

NASA is closely watching these developments, as SpaceX's Starship is a crucial component of future moon and Mars missions. While this latest test did not go as planned, SpaceX continues to refine its technology, learning from each attempt to bring humanity closer to interplanetary travel.
