For direct investments such as stocks and bonds, interest and dividends are taxed in the year in which they are received, and capital gains are taxed in the year in which they are triggered (sold). This results in a straightforward tax effect whereby the investor receives investment income and pays the appropriate amount of tax on a portion of the proceeds. With indirect ownership of securities, for example where an investor owns stocks indirectly through a mutual fund or an ETF, the tax situation may not be as simple.
On April 28, 2026, Finance and National Revenue Minister François‑Philippe Champagne released the 2026 Spring Economic Update (the Update). This was the first spring economic update after the federal budget was moved to the fall in 2025.
U.S. President Donald Trump’s second term is not just another burst of tariff theatre; it is the opening move in a new great game over energy, artificial intelligence (AI), and money. By neutralizing Iran and Venezuela, squeezing Cuba, binding Canada, and courting Russia, Washington is trying to re-anchor oil in U.S. dollars and push BRICS’ [1] monetary ambitions to the margins. Layered on top are digital rails—dollar-backed stablecoins, tokenized Treasuries, gold, and even a strategic bitcoin reserve—designed to harden, not retire, King Dollar. If it works, Bretton Woods 2.0 will arrive not as a conference, but as the unannounced sequel to a crisis-ridden decade, with the U.S. once again writing the rules.
Every parent hopes to provide their children with the best possible opportunities, particularly when it comes to education. As the cost of higher education in Canada continues to rise, many families find it challenging to determine how best to save and invest for these future expenses.
“There’s only two cultures that are going to win in the next year. It’s going to be us or China.” The subtext of Palantir CEO Alex Karp’s widely cited speech from late 2025 sounds like tech‑bro theatre until you reflect on it. In artificial intelligence, there is no bronze medal. There will be a hegemon and a runner‑up. Everyone else will be a client. Markets are not pricing that reality. Investors still treat the AI build-out as marginal cloud spend or another overhyped software cycle. They debate whether Big Tech is “exhausting its available capital” or whether capex “must mean revert,” as if infrastructure were optional and competition courteous. They are using valuation models from the wrong century for the wrong game. AI is not an app store. It is a weapon system—and the operating system of the next industrial era. The capital going into it is not a bubble. It is rearmament.

Historians are likely to regard Donald Trump’s presidency as a pivot—as significant as any in U.S. history comparable to the Jacksonian turn, the New Deal, or the Reagan Revolution. Yet Wall Street remains strangely somnolent, pricing in neither the durability nor the depth of what is unfolding. The Trump Doctrine should be seen as equal to—not subordinate to—the Monroe Doctrine, the 1823 U.S. policy that warned European powers against further colonization or interference in the Western Hemisphere. It represents a new organizing framework for U.S. power that blends hard power, economic nationalism, and pro-growth domestic policy.
At the Advanced Wealth Planning Group at Wellington-Altus, we’re strong advocates for financial planning. And while most Canadians share that view, we recognize that not everyone sees things the same way. This article aims to share our perspective on financial planning, particularly with those who may not yet see its full value.
What is a prescribed rate loan? A prescribed rate loan is one of the few income-splitting opportunities provided to Canadians that does not violate the various “attribution rules” found in Canada’s Income Tax Act. These “attribution rules” are designed to prevent high-tax bracket individuals from shifting investment income to a lower-tax bracket individual’s hands.

History does not move in straight lines. Markets ricochet between excess and restraint in violent cycles, a truth American economist Peter Bernstein hammered home and one investors are again being forced to relearn. The foundation for the 2026 investment thesis is that with interest payments on U.S. debt now exceeding annual defense spending, the fiscal constraint has become too binding to ignore, and structural adjustment is no longer optional. We have no choice but to adjust; the system is in a state of flux.

Lorsqu’on pense à son patrimoine, on imagine souvent des catégories d’actifs traditionnelles comme les liquidités, les actions, les obligations, l’immobilier ou peut-être des placements plus originaux comme des collections d’œuvres d’art ou de pièces de monnaie. Ces actifs ont toujours constitué la base du patrimoine de la plupart des familles. Cependant, à l’ère numérique actuelle, une autre catégorie d’actifs gagne rapidement en importance : les actifs numériques.
