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 Seeks Breakthrough with Xi on High-Stakes Asia Tour

Protesters attend an anti-Trump rally against US President Donald Trump's tariff policy ahead of his visit to South Korea for the APEC summit, in Seoul, South Korea.

U.S. President Donald Trump has embarked on a week-long trip across Asia, aiming to secure a pivotal deal with Chinese President Xi Jinping amid escalating trade tensions. The journey includes stops in Malaysia, Japan, and South Korea, where Trump is expected to sign economic and critical mineral agreements with regional partners before his highly anticipated face-to-face meeting with Xi.

The White House has signaled that Trump’s priority is to stabilize strained U.S.-China relations and potentially ease the ongoing trade war. Officials say the administration hopes to unlock new supply chains, strengthen investment opportunities, and reduce reliance on Chinese exports.

The Trump-Xi meeting, scheduled in South Korea, is being described by analysts as “high-risk, high-reward.” A successful outcome could reset relations between the world’s two largest economies, while failure may deepen global economic uncertainty.

As Trump positions himself as a dealmaker on the international stage, the Asia trip could prove decisive in shaping the trajectory of U.S.-China ties for years to come.
