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.

North Korea Tests Missiles Ahead of Trump’s Asia Visit

People watch a news report on North Korea firing short-range ballistic missiles at a railway station in Seoul, South Korea


North Korea launched multiple short-range ballistic missiles early Wednesday, just days before U.S. President Donald Trump and other world leaders are set to arrive in South Korea for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit.

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff reported that the missiles were fired from an area south of Pyongyang and traveled roughly 350 kilometers northeast. It marked Pyongyang’s first ballistic missile test in five months, underscoring ongoing tensions on the Korean Peninsula.

The timing of the launch appears deliberate, coming ahead of Trump’s scheduled meetings with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Analysts suggest the move may be aimed at drawing international attention and signaling defiance of United Nations Security Council resolutions that ban North Korea’s ballistic missile program.

Regional governments, including Japan and South Korea, have condemned the launches, calling them destabilizing acts that threaten peace and security in East Asia.

As world leaders prepare to gather in Seoul, the missile tests serve as a stark reminder of the challenges facing diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions with Pyongyang.
