If you want to borrow money, you have several options in Canada, including a secured or unsecured loan. These loan types have several things in common. Off the top: Financial institutions will lend money for a certain period of time (a.k.a. a term), both types require a credit check and both charge interest.
When comparing secured loans versus unsecured personal loans, look at each loan’s pros, cons, risks and benefits. You’ll also want to look at how your financial needs, your situation and your personal goals can come into play. Understanding the differences between these two loan types is key, because you can make the best financial decision before you borrow money.

Working Girl (1988)
There are multiple cringey scenes that won’t appeal to a 2024/2025 audience. This award-winning movie shows the drama and backstabbing ambition on Wall Street you might see in other stock flicks—but from the perspective of a woman. (The script was written by Kevin Wade, though.) Actor Melanie Griffith (Dakota Johnson’s mom) plays Tess, faking her way to the top in the mergers and acquisitions department at the firm, after discovering her boyfriend, Mick (Alec Baldwin, Hailey Bieber’s uncle), is a cheating snake. There are laughs, big ’80s hair, romance and lots of trading vocab drops. —Lisa Hannam
Working Girl is streaming on Disney+ and is available for rent on Prime Video…
