Canadian insolvencies are back to pre-pandemic levels. But something has fundamentally changed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Insolvencies per adult are up 46 per cent since 2021, and nearly four in five insolvent Canadians now choose a consumer proposal rather than bankruptcy. In a consumer proposal, a licensed insolvency trustee helps the debtor make an offer to creditors to repay a portion of what is owed, usually through scheduled payments. In a bankruptcy, the trustee takes control of the debtor’s assets that aren’t protected by law, sells them where appropriate and distributes the proceeds to creditors. In the 12
CPI suggests your money loses half its value every 30 years, but this measure points to 13 years (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One big misconception in personal finance is how fast money actually loses purchasing power.

The rest, including over 100 credit unions and more than 20 other banks, hold just 9 per cent. That concentration would make sense if the big banks offered better service or rates than everyone else. But do they? Based on an estimate from WOWA.io, a provider of financial data services, more than 65 per cent of bank deposits in Canada ar
Is government debt 132% of GDP, or 21%? Depends on which debt you include (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The debt level of Canadian governments is a hot-button political and economic topic, and both high and low numbers get thrown around. So who’s telling the truth? Well, both sides are. And since no single number tells the whole story, we need to look at multiple measures. Gross debt shows total exposure to rising borrowing costs, net liabilities shows overall solvency, and net debt excluding CPP/QPP shows how much room governments have to respond to the next crisis. Opinion: Canada must resist th
