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.

Russian Strikes Intensify Ahead of Zelenskiy–Trump Meeting

Russia unleashed a large wave of drones and missiles across Ukraine on Saturday, striking Kyiv and several regions only hours before President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is set to meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Florida. The overnight barrage triggered air‑raid alerts nationwide, damaged infrastructure, and caused temporary power outages in parts of the capital.

Ukrainian officials reported that the attack involved hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles, marking one of the most intense assaults in recent months. At least one person was killed and multiple others were injured as emergency crews worked through the night to contain fires and restore essential services.

The timing of the strikes adds pressure to the upcoming Zelenskiy–Trump talks, where discussions are expected to focus on potential steps toward ending the war and addressing Ukraine’s security needs. The escalation underscores how volatile the situation remains as diplomatic efforts continue.
