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.

Munich Airport Reopens After Overnight Drone Disruption Sparks Investigation

                                            Munich International Airport

Munich Airport, Germany’s second-busiest aviation hub, was forced to shut down overnight after multiple drone sightings disrupted operations and grounded flights.

German air traffic control halted departures and arrivals shortly after 10 p.m. local time on Thursday, October 2, 2025, citing safety concerns. The closure lasted nearly seven hours, stranding almost 3,000 passengers and diverting 15 incoming flights to Stuttgart, Nuremberg, Vienna, and Frankfurt. Seventeen scheduled departures were canceled.

Authorities confirmed that federal police deployed helicopters and other resources to track the drones, but no devices were recovered. Passengers spent the night in terminals, where airport staff provided cots, blankets, and refreshments.

Investigators are now probing the origins of the drones. German media reports suggest officials are exploring possible links to suspicious maritime activity in the Baltic Sea, raising concerns about espionage and the vulnerability of critical infrastructure.

The incident follows a series of similar drone incursions at airports across Scandinavia in recent weeks, fueling broader European security concerns.

Munich Airport resumed normal operations at 5 a.m. Friday, but officials emphasized that the investigation is ongoing and that protecting airspace remains a top priority.
