Canada’s TSX hit a record high after a surprise 2.6% GDP jump, but the details show weakening consumer demand and rising risks. With jobs data and Big Six bank earnings ahead, here’s what this means for your TFSA and year-end investing decisions.

XFN (the iShares S&P/TSX Capped Financials ETF) has quietly beaten VOO over the past 5 years. It’s packed with Canada’s biggest banks and insurers, offering strong growth and monthly dividends. Here’s how it works and who it’s best for.
