I've long emphasized the importance of proper estate documentation. But here's what often gets overlooked: who you choose to draft those documents matters just as much as having them at all.

The right estate lawyer can mean the difference between a flawed plan and one that actually protects your family and legacy.

In a recent conversation with Christina Hassan, we explored the critical attributes to look for when selecting an estate planning professional. Her insights are invaluable.

On Monday evening, Randy Fibke, Rachael Harper, Rachel Marian Coutinho & I had the privilege of welcoming Christian Chiera, CFA Chiara and Zach Short, CFA from RBC Global Asset Management to an event we hosted at the Silver Springs Golf & Country Club.

I have been reading Christian's articles for the past decade, so it was really cool to finally meet him in person.

Christian delivered an excellent presentation on the current state of the economy and markets, touching on key issues including the turmoil in the Middle East, AI advancements, and the economic outlooks for Canada and the US—along with reasons for optimism moving forward. Despite the complexity of these topics, Christian did an exceptional job making them digestible and engaging for all of our clients who attended.

I can't thank him enough for his time and expertise. I'm also grateful to Zach for supporting us in putting this event together.

Global energy markets are in flux. With 20% of the world's crude, natural gas, and refined products moving through the Strait of Hormuz, disruption ripples through gasoline prices, fertilizer, and supply chains.

The real question: How long? And what's the recovery?

This uncertainty creates both risk and opportunity for investors. Jesse Coote, Associate Portfolio Manager at RBC Global Asset Management, breaks down what it means for your portfolio—and where energy security matters most.

Portfolio drift occurs as markets move, gradually shifting your asset allocation away from your original plan.

Rebalancing corrects this by trimming overweight positions and reinvesting into underweight areas, keeping your risk exposure aligned with your financial goals—not market volatility.

It's a simple, disciplined approach to maintaining long-term wealth.

In a world that feels increasingly heavy, my kids reminded me yesterday of something simple yet profound: joy is contagious, and it’s always within our reach.

Let’s be honest—there’s a lot to worry about right now. I am speaking to my clients daily about geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, trade uncertainties looming between Canada and the US, rising oil prices, and a general sense of volatility that seems to permeate everything. It’s easy to get pulled into the gravity of it all. It can feel VERY heavy.

Yesterday, my kids decided to dress up as Disney characters—princesses and a knight—and positioned themselves at the end of our driveway to wave and dance at passing cars. What happened next was remarkable. Car after car slowed down. People’s faces lit up. Horns honked. Windows rolled down. Genuine smiles—the kind that reach your eyes—spread across strangers’ faces.

My wife and I kept watching in awe, reflecting to our kids: "Do you see what you’re doing? You’re giving people moments of joy."

I thought about those drivers. Maybe someone had a brutal day at work. Maybe someone is wrestling with anxiety about what’s happening in the world. Maybe someone needed exactly that moment—a reminder that goodness still exists, that lightness is possible, that laughter is still within reach.

Honestly? I needed it too.

I’m grateful for my kids that reminded me that joy isn’t frivolous in hard times—it’s essential to carry us through.
