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.

Ottawa Designates India’s Bishnoi Gang as Terrorist Group

The Government of Canada has officially designated the Bishnoi Gang, an India-based criminal network, as a terrorist entity under the Criminal Code. Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree announced the move, citing the gang’s involvement in murder, shootings, arson, extortion, and intimidation that have created a climate of fear within diaspora communities.

The designation empowers Canadian authorities to freeze or seize the gang’s assets, including property, vehicles, and financial holdings. It also provides law enforcement with expanded tools to prosecute offences related to terrorism, such as financing, recruitment, and travel.

Led by Lawrence Bishnoi, who has been imprisoned in India since 2014, the gang has been linked to drug trafficking, extortion, and targeted killings. Despite Bishnoi’s incarceration, investigators allege he continues to direct operations from behind bars.

The listing follows mounting pressure from provincial leaders and opposition parties, who argued that the gang’s activities posed a direct threat to public safety in Canada. With this move, the Bishnoi Gang joins 88 other organizations currently listed as terrorist entities in Canada.
