How to avoid splitting CPP credits
– moneysense.ca
Q: Many years after my marriage failed, my spouse and I finalized our divorce, but we remained on good terms. Can we choose not to split the CPP credits? If so, what do I need to do to make this happen?
—Kate Thorburn, Vancouver
A: Here is one case where doing nothing will get you what you want. (If only this happened when it came to six-pack abs!) What I mean is that unless you file an application with Service Canada, you will not be splitting the CPP credits.
Many soon-to-be-former couples want to split the CPP credits and do the paperwork as a part of their separation. It can make a big financial difference if one spouse was out of the workforce for an extended period. The rules are complex and include some limitations so check out the Service Canada website for details.
If you really are sure that not splitting CPP is the best path for both of you, you have saved yourself some work. But you should go back and check your separation agreement, just in case it mentioned anything about CPP, says Rona Birenbaum, a CFP with Toronto-based Caring for Clients…

US, Canada broker agreement to share dwindling cod fishing
– canadianbusiness.com
PORTLAND, Maine – The United States and Canada have brokered a deal to share what’s left of the dwindling North American cod fishing business in the Atlantic next year.
Both countries fish for cod, an important food fish that has declined in population following overfishing and warming ocean temperatures. The two fisheries overlap in the eastern reaches of Georges Bank, an important fishing area located off of New England.
The countries have agreed to set the total allowable catch at 730 metric tons next year. The U.S. will be allowed to take 146 metric tons and Canada will get the rest.
The agreement represents an 8 metric ton increase for the U.S. and a 96 metric ton increase for Canada. A regional fishing council approved the agreement for the U.S. on Wednesday.
