Budget Day 2026: What a $63B+ Deficit Means for Your Wallet

  Canadian Money Brief • Thursday, November 5, 2026 Ottawa tables its second Carney-era budget today. Almost everyone expects big spending. Hardly anyone expects it to help their own bank account. Here is what the numbers say, and what to do about it. Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne says today’s budget is about “changing Canada’s growth model”: less reliance on the U.S., more building at home. That is a big-picture pitch. Your household budget is a small-picture problem, and a new Abacus Data poll shows the gap between the two is wide. The poll in one line: only 10% of Canadians expect Budget 2026 to make their household better off. 30% expect to be worse off, and 48% expect little difference.

Argentine Lawyers Seek Netanyahu’s Arrest Amid War Crimes Allegations

 

                                           Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 

A coalition of Argentine human rights lawyers has filed a criminal complaint in the country’s federal courts seeking the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should he enter Argentina. The move comes amid unconfirmed reports of a possible visit in September, though local media suggest Netanyahu may instead meet President Javier Milei in New York during the UN General Assembly.

The complaint, lodged by attorney Rodolfo Yanzon and Raji Sourani of the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, accuses Netanyahu of co-perpetrating war crimes and crimes against humanity — including the intentional starvation of civilians, homicide, and persecution. The allegations stem from a March 23 incident in which 15 people, including first responders, were reportedly executed following a bombing.

This is not the first such legal action in Argentina; earlier in August, the Association of State Workers (ATE) and human rights group HIJOS also sought an arrest warrant for Netanyahu. The Israeli leader faces mounting international scrutiny over the Gaza conflict, with the International Criminal Court having issued a separate arrest warrant over alleged war crimes. Netanyahu and Israel deny all charges.
