Canada's Economy Is Slowing: 5 Money Moves to Make Before Year-End

  Canadian Money Brief | October 22, 2026 Canada's economic outlook has weakened, and that is a good reason to take a fresh look at your finances before the end of the year. The Parliamentary Budget Officer's October outlook projects real GDP growth of just 0.9% in 2026, down from its earlier forecast of 1.1%.

In the coming week, northern Nunavut is expected to see more -10°C readings, while most of the country will enjoy seasonal to warmer-than-normal conditions.

Eastern areas, including Labrador and parts of Atlantic Canada, may experience cooler air in the short term, but nothing close to this Arctic plunge. For now, the deep freeze remains a northern affair—though it’s a crisp reminder that winter is already knocking on Canada’s door.
