TD Bank Group's insurance and wealth division posted record revenue, profit and client assets in its fiscal third quarter, a result that lands as TD Insurance leans increasingly on capital-markets tools to manage the same catastrophe exposure that is squeezing its bottom line.
The Wealth Management and Insurance segment, which houses TD Insurance alongside TD Wealth and TD Direct Investing, earned $841 million in the three months ended July 31, up 20% from the same period last year, TD Bank Group said in its third-quarter earnings release. Within that, Insurance's own net income rose 3% to $188 million, even as insurance service expenses climbed 5% to $1.65 billion, which the bank attributed mainly to higher estimated catastrophe claims. That pressure is familiar territory: the Insurance Bureau of Canada estimated $235 million in insured damage from a single line of Prairies storms in August 2025 alone, underscoring how weather volatility has become a routine line item rather than a one-off shock for Canadian insurers.

The weather forecast did not inspire confidence for Allied forces ahead of June 6, 1944. The thick clouds blanketing much of France and the English Channel made aerial reconnaissance even more dangerous than anticipated, while stormy conditions complicated the naval advance towards Normandy Beach. But despite the challenges, calling off D-Day remained unthinkable.
“Troops set off into a sky that was still breaking up after days of storms into a narrow window of better weather,” University of Reading meteorologist Ed Hawkins explained in a statement. “A day earlier, or a few hours either way, and the weather could have stopped the invasion in its tracks, and changed the outcome of the war.”
Welcome to The Trendline, the FiftyPlusOne.news weekly polling roundup. Subscribe to get it delivered straight to your inbox and get bundled access to our polling website. Last week, trade negotiations between the United States and Canada abruptly fell apart, with both sides pointing fingers at the other. A 50 percent tariff on a long list of Canadian goods is now in effect, and the Trump administration has threatened an expansion of tariffs to additional products, including auto parts, to take effect in January 2027. In response, the Canadian government announced retaliatory tariffs of 50 percent on key U. S. imports to Canada, which will take effect in September. Prime Minister Mark Carney told Canadians in a press conference Saturday that “You’re at war when you’re attacked. We got attacked,” and that his government was going to “hit back.”So, what do Americans think of all this back-and-forth? What do Canadians think? Today on the Trendline, we’re checking in on both, to get a feel for how the American and Canadian public view the trade war, their leaders, and each other.
A few weeks ago, as I often do, I went to the Tennis.com site to get an update about a match and to check out the commentary from my fellow tennis journalists. I was taken aback when, instead of the usual colorful graphics and info, I was greeted with a rudimentary-looking homepage that displayed only scores and rankings. At first I thought it was a glitch of some sort. But sadly, no. As it turns out, Tennis.com, originally the online site of Tennis Magazine, is under a complete overhaul and will no longer be the home of esteemed writers such as Steve Tignor and Pete Bodo, robbing fans of unique and personal takes on the sport. It appears the longest running American tennis-specific publication is no longer alive in any form. Tennis Magazine started in 1965 (with the Tennis.com website starting in 1996) and existed in print form through 2022. Its previous owners included Golf Digest and the New York Times Company. But when Sinclair Broadcast Group, the controversial conservative-leaning media company, bought the site in 2017, merging it into one entity with the Tennis Channel, the writing – that is to say the eventual dearth of writing – was on the wall.
Canada's chief U. S. trade negotiator is disputing several claims made by American officials about why trade talks fell apart last week, namely that the Canadian side brought forward last-minute demands on autos and that U. S. negotiators weren't interested in French language discoverability rules. "Canada has been resolute throughout these negotiations that we were talking about the entirety of our automotive sector," Janice Charette said in an exclusive interview with CBC's The House airing Saturday morning. Charette's comments clash with those made by U. S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who told reporters Thursday that the Canadians only brought up tariff relief on medium- and heavy-duty trucks at the last minute — and further alleged the Canadians did so to kill the deal. "The words 'medium- and heavy-duty trucks’ were raised in these negotiations on Friday at 4 o'clock," Lutnick said. Those trucks include some models of Ford's F-series pickups and the General Motors Silverado, which are made at Ontario plants. Charette refrained from calling Lutnick wrong, but said the Canadians raised the issue on "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
The B. C. government is providing $2.7 million to help northern businesses and First Nations adapt to changing markets, diversify their economies and protect or create jobs amid uncertainty over U. S. tariffs.
Social Development and Poverty Reduction Minister Sheila Malcolmson announced the funding Friday in Prince Rupert.
There is no denying that technology has transformed the way we go about our daily lives, from how we clean our homes to how we watch TV. While innovation continues to move at a rapid pace, here are some of today’s top technologies making work — both inside and outside the flooring industry — and everyday life just a little bit easier.
Gone are the days of tape measures and scribbling down measurements in a notebook, a traditional process that is not only time-consuming but also prone to human error. Digital measuring and estimating tools not only improve accuracy and provide faster estimates, but they also give consumers greater flexibility by allowing them to view digital layouts, compare design options and make adjustments in real time.
Government officials say people from Ebola-affected countries will continue to be banned from entering Canada for another 30 days, prolonging the state of limbo for tens of thousands of people who have had their residency applications suspended since May.
The extension means decisions on immigration and visa applications from residents of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda and South Sudan will remain on hold until Sept. 28. People from those countries who already hold valid visas will also be barred from entering Canada. The government says the risk of Ebola in Canada is still low, but these measures are precautionary given the severity of the disease. Canada will also keep a 21-day quarantine for anyone returning from those three countries, a measure that aid agencies said impacts their ability to send humanitarians to the region. Foreign nationals who have been in the DRC within the past 21 days will also not be allowed to fly to Canada. Story continues below advertisement

Living with Alzheimer’s disease doesn’t necessarily mean you’re more likely to develop other health conditions. But it’s common to be managing several health concerns at the same time. As physical or emotional challenges can sometimes make Alzheimer’s symptoms worse, your overall health and well-being are a top priority. Neurological physician assistant Athena Loughrin, PA-C, explains how other health concerns can affect Alzheimer’s and what you can do to manage them. Tips for handling Alzheimer’s when living with other conditionsWhen you have Alzheimer’s, your brain is already working harder to keep up with everyday life. Add in something like an illness, a hospital stay or major emotional stress, and your brain may have an even harder time managing everything at once. “Your brain is a very impressive organ. It gets around problems pretty well, but it also controls everything you do,” says Loughrin. “So, if something acute happens, like a heart attack or pneumonia, it puts extra strain on your brain as it tries to confront the immediate issue.”That added strain can make it harder to think, function and manage your everyday needs.
Summary of remarks made by the author at a special webinar for C. D. Howe Institute members, August 25, 2026
As late as Tuesday August 18, there was an outline of a proposal which looked like both Canada and the United States could agree to. This emerging deal would have already been difficult for Canada to accept. It was a major dilution of its principled view that tariff-free trade should apply to all goods meeting the CUSMA rules, agreed with the first Trump Administration in October 2018, and subsequently approved by the US Congress.
