Most families don’t struggle because they don’t care.
They struggle because no one planned before things got hard.

A few questions worth asking now (not during a crisis):

• If something happens, who can legally act on your behalf?
• Which decisions might our family fight about later?
• How do we make sure our life doesn’t turn into a stressful emergency project?

Planning for the later years isn’t about giving up control —
it’s about keeping it and protecting the people you love from stress, confusion, and conflict.

If you’re caring for aging parents (or realizing one day your kids may care for you), let’s talk through it calmly and proactively.

Good news for anyone with a mortgage or looking at purchasing a home.

Bank of Canada Cuts Policy Rate to 2.50%

Key Move: The Bank of Canada lowered its benchmark interest rate to 2.50% from 2.75% — the first cut since March — citing slower growth and easing inflation risks.

Domestic Economy & Housing

GDP: Down 1.5% in Q2 as tariffs and trade tensions weighed on activity.
Exports: Fell 27%, reversing early-year gains as firms raced to ship ahead of tariffs.
Investment: Business spending declined, while housing and consumption stayed solid.
Outlook: Slower population growth and a softer labour market may curb spending.

Inflation Outlook

CPI: Steady at 1.9% in August; excluding taxes 2.4%.
Core Inflation: Around 2.5–3%, but upward momentum has cooled.
Tariffs: Ottawa’s removal of most retaliatory U.S. tariffs should relieve price pressure.

Jobs & Wages

Employment: Down for two months, mainly in trade-sensitive sectors.
Unemployment: Rose to 7.1%.
Wage Growth: Continues to ease as hiring slows.

Global Context

Growth: Cooling worldwide amid tariffs and uncertainty.
U.S.: Investment firm, but hiring slower; inflation edging up as tariff costs pass through.
Europe & China: Trade headwinds and weakening investment dampen expansion.
Markets: Oil prices steady; Canadian dollar stable; equity prices higher and yields lower.

Policy Outlook

Reason for Cut: Weaker economy and contained inflation justified easing to balance risks.
Next Steps: Monitor exports, business investment, jobs, household spending, and inflation expectations as supply chains adjust.

Commitment: Support growth while keeping inflation well-anchored.

Next Rate Announcement: October 29
