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.

Trump and Zelenskiy Pledge Closer Defense Ties Amid Surge in Russian Attacks

U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy held a high-stakes phone call on Friday to address Ukraine’s urgent defense needs as Russian drone and missile strikes intensify across the country. The leaders discussed expanding deliveries of Patriot missile systems and launching joint defense production initiatives to bolster Ukraine’s air shield.

The conversation followed a dramatic escalation in the conflict, with Russia unleashing its largest drone assault on Kyiv since the war began—just hours after Trump’s reportedly “disappointing” call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Zelenskiy emphasized the need for continued U.S. military support, particularly advanced air defense systems, and confirmed that both sides agreed to arrange meetings between their teams to coordinate further cooperation. Trump, for his part, pledged to review halted weapons shipments and explore ways to resume critical supplies.

Germany has also entered talks to purchase Patriot systems to help bridge Ukraine’s defense gap, signaling a broader international effort to reinforce Kyiv’s defenses.

The call marks a pivotal moment in U.S.-Ukraine relations, as both leaders navigate shifting geopolitical dynamics and the urgent need to counter Russia’s escalating aggression.
