Canadians may be about to pay for this trade war twice.

First, through higher prices caused by tariffs. Then again, through higher taxes to fund the government’s response.

Canada has announced retaliatory tariffs on $27 billion worth of American imports, while Ottawa is rolling out another $7.5 billion in assistance.

Where does that money actually come from?

The government can tax Canadians now, or borrow the money and leave Canadians with the bill later. So while retaliatory tariffs may sound like Canada is fighting back, are we actually protecting Canadians… or making them pay even more?

What do you think? Is Canada making the right move, or will ordinary Canadians ultimately lose this trade war?

Canadian business owners can lose money to taxes at three different stages:

- When their wealth grows.

- When they access and spend it.

- And again when they die.

That’s why these numbers can look almost too good to be true.

It isn’t about earning some unrealistic 20% return every year. It’s about using the right strategy to reduce the tax drag and keep more of your money growing, accessible and protected.

Canada’s trade deal with the United States collapsed. Now 50% tariffs are in effect on billions of dollars in goods—and Canadians still haven’t seen the deal our government walked away from.

Maybe rejecting it was the right decision. But if Canadian businesses, workers and consumers are going to pay the economic price, don’t we deserve to know what was actually on the table?

In our September Monthly Update, we break down the escalating trade war, who really pays for retaliatory tariffs, the threat to Canadian jobs and investment, Nova Scotia’s 5% inflation rate, and Bitcoin’s sudden 21% surge.

Watch the full episode now and tell us: should the government release the details of the rejected deal?

Retirement anxiety doesn’t come from spending too much.

It comes from not knowing how much you can safely spend without running out.

Most Canadians spend decades focused on rates of return and building the biggest possible nest egg. Then retirement arrives and they’re afraid to enjoy any of it because nobody can tell them how long it needs to last.

You don’t need a crystal ball. You need a retirement strategy built for uncertainty.

Comment COMPOUND and we’ll show you how to build wealth you can actually enjoy.

The biggest opportunities usually appear when everyone else is panicking.

During the last major market correction, stocks were down, real estate was down and most people couldn’t access capital without selling at a loss.

Bob didn’t have that problem.

He accessed the cash value inside his life insurance policy, borrowed against it and used that capital to seize opportunities while everyone else was frozen.

Four years later, his wealth had grown 10X. The difference wasn’t luck. It was liquidity. It was access. It was control.

That’s how the wealthy prepare for uncertainty. They position their money so they can move when everyone else can’t.

“Tax the rich” sounds like a simple solution. But who exactly are we talking about?

In Canada, the top 20% of income-earning families begins at approximately $270,000 in family income. That can include two experienced tradespeople, a physician and a teacher, a farmer, a dentist or a successful small-business owner.

According to a recent Fraser Institute study, that top 20% pays 65.3% of Canada’s personal income taxes.

The bottom 60% pays approximately 15%.

That does not automatically settle the question of fairness. People will reasonably disagree about what different income groups should contribute. But it should change the starting point of the conversation.

The bigger question is whether continually increasing taxes on Canada’s most productive earners will generate more prosperity and government revenue, or encourage more entrepreneurs, investment and skilled professionals to leave.

You spent decades building your retirement savings. Then the tax bill arrives.

RRSPs are tax deferred, not tax free. Every dollar you withdraw is taxable income, and without the right strategy, a massive portion of what you built could end up going straight to the government.

Saving the money is only half the battle.

The real question is: how much of it will you actually get to keep?

Banks don’t just lend money. They strategically position it.

North American banks hold billions of dollars in cash-value life insurance because it can provide predictable growth, access to capital and a guaranteed death benefit.

So here’s the real question:

If some of the most sophisticated financial institutions use insurance as part of their financial strategy, why do most Canadians only think of life insurance as something that pays when they die?

The wealthy understand that the right policy can do more than protect your family. It can help you build capital, access that capital and keep your money compounding while you use it elsewhere.

Trump has paused the newest tariffs for another three days because apparently this trade war is being run like a last-minute fantasy hockey lineup.

The tariff situation has been serious, unpredictable, and damaging for several Canadian industries. But did Trump just cross the line with Canadians: a proposed 50% tariff on Canadian hockey sticks.

This one feels personal. We can debate steel, lumber, and autos, but once you start making hockey more expensive, you’ve officially gone too far. 🏒🇨🇦😂
