A Canadian Dividend Stock Is Leaving Canada — What Algonquin Power's US Move Means for Your RRSP and TFSA

  Published August 9, 2026 Algonquin Power's move to Delaware could change how your dividends are taxed — and whether index funds keep holding the stock at all. If you've owned Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (TSX/NYSE: AQN) in your RRSP or TFSA for the dividend, pay attention this week. On Friday, August 7, the Oakville, Ontario-based utility announced it plans to leave Canada — reincorporating as a Delaware company with its head office moving to Chicago. It's not a rumour or a boardroom leak. It came straight from the company's own Q2 2026 earnings release, and CEO Rod West was blunt about the reasoning: more than 80% of Algonquin's operations are now in the United States, with less than 5% left in Canada.

Afghanistan and Pakistan Resume Fragile Peace Talks in Istanbul Amid Border Tensions

 

The deadly crisis between Afghanistan and Pakistan left dozens dead in the Taliban-administered nation, including many civilians, women, and children.


Afghanistan and Pakistan have agreed to restart peace negotiations in Istanbul, following a breakdown in earlier talks that failed to produce a resolution. The renewed dialogue, set to formally resume on November 6, comes after a ceasefire brokered by Qatar and Turkey helped de-escalate deadly border clashes that left dozens dead, including civilians.

The previous round of talks, held over four days in Istanbul, ended inconclusively earlier this week. Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Mohammad Asif confirmed that the decision to return to the negotiating table was made at the urging of Qatar and Turkey, both of which have played key roles in mediating between the two nations.

According to sources familiar with the matter, negotiation teams from both countries remain in Istanbul to prevent further violence and maintain the fragile ceasefire. Pakistan is expected to press its demand that Afghanistan take action against militants allegedly using Afghan territory to launch attacks on Pakistani soil. Kabul, under Taliban control, denies harboring such groups and claims limited control over their activities.

Turkey’s foreign ministry emphasized that all parties have agreed to uphold the ceasefire until the next round of talks, where the modalities of its implementation will be discussed. The situation remains tense, with major border crossings still closed and trade routes disrupted.

The outcome of these renewed talks will be critical in determining whether the two South Asian neighbors can move toward a sustainable peace agreement or remain locked in a cycle of mistrust and sporadic violence.
