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.

Trump Orders Review of Federal Aid to Portland Amid Ongoing Protests

A demonstrator dressed in an inflatable frog costume stands infront of law enforcement officers during a protest outside of the ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) headquarters in south Portland, Oregon, U.S., October 3, 2025.

President Donald Trump has directed his administration to review federal funding to Portland, Oregon, in response to ongoing anti-ICE demonstrations and what the White House has described as “anarchy” in the city.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Friday that the president instructed his team to identify areas of federal aid that could potentially be cut. “We will not fund states that allow anarchy,” Leavitt said, citing repeated clashes outside Portland’s U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility.

The move comes after months of protests in Portland, where demonstrators have targeted federal immigration enforcement policies. Federal officials claim the ICE building has been attacked with projectiles and vandalized, while local leaders have resisted calls for increased federal intervention.

In addition to the funding review, the administration has signaled plans to bolster federal law enforcement presence in the city. Portland officials, however, have pushed back, arguing that federal involvement risks escalating tensions further.

The review of aid marks the latest flashpoint in the ongoing standoff between the Trump administration and Democratic-led cities over immigration enforcement and public safety.
