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.

Zelensky’s Diplomatic Push in Berlin: Seeking Stronger Support for Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has arrived in Berlin for a high-stakes meeting with Germany’s new Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, as Ukraine continues to seek military aid amid escalating Russian attacks. Germany, the second-largest supplier of military assistance to Ukraine after the United States, has played a crucial role in supporting Kyiv’s defense efforts.

During his visit, Zelensky is expected to discuss the lifting of range restrictions on weapons supplied to Ukraine, a move that could significantly bolster Ukraine’s ability to counter Russian aggression. Chancellor Merz, who took office three weeks ago, has been actively engaged in diplomatic efforts to maintain Western support for Ukraine and explore potential ceasefire negotiations.

Meanwhile, the conflict continues to intensify, with Russia launching its largest drone attack on Ukraine to date. Ukrainian air defenses have been working tirelessly to counter these strikes, while infrastructure in key regions such as Kharkiv, Donetsk, and Sumy has suffered damage.

Zelensky’s visit underscores Ukraine’s urgent need for sustained international backing as it navigates the challenges of war. His discussions with German leaders could shape the next phase of military and diplomatic strategies in the ongoing conflict.
