What's expected for the Canadian economy heading into the last quarter of 2026? It’s been quite the summer with trade tensions in full swing, but Canada’s growth has also been resilient. RBC Economics tackles everything from the trade war, consumers spending through higher energy costs to growth in commodity rich provinces, and the odds of earlier rate hikes from the BoC and more in their Quarterly Canadian Outlook: https://bit.ly/4rl1tCm

We remain cautiously optimistic the Canadian economy will improve on a per-person basis despite re-escalated trade risks and persistently high energy prices.

Planning for a longer life is about more than financial foresight. It’s about health, wellness, and the support systems that let us and our loved ones live with dignity and peace of mind. Dementia is one of the realities many Canadian families will face, and having a plan, both care-wise and financially, can help you prepare for how that chapter unfolds.

In this recent episode of The Hart of It All, host Teri Hart speaks with Dr. Saskia Sivananthan, CEO of the Brainwell Institute, about the Ontario Dementia Task Force and its mission to transform dementia care across the province. They discuss why families need clear guidance, assessments, and support long before caregiver burnout or crisis sets in, and they challenge the misconceptions that still surround dementia today.

I encourage you to give this episode a listen.

It wasn’t a great end to the summer of 2026 for U.S. policymakers, in our view, with actions by the U.S. Federal Reserve and Treasury highlighting institutional weaknesses instead of playing to their strengths.

Since the GENIUS Act created a U.S. regulatory framework for stablecoins, debate has centered on whether digital assets can pay interest. We believe that misses the bigger story: the potentially revolutionary nature of tokenization.
