Canada’s income tax brackets for 2025, plus the maximum tax you’ll pay based on incomeAs the year winds down, you may be wondering just how much tax you’ll be paying once you file your 2025 income tax return. Especially if you changed jobs or earned self-employment income, there may be a big difference between the taxes you’ve already remitted through payroll deductions or installments and your final settlement in the spring.Indeed, having a sense of your taxes owed or owing can inform strategies you can deploy right now to minimize your final bill or enlarge your refund, such as contributing more to your registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) or first home savings account (FHSA) or making a meaningful donation to a deserving charity sooner rather than later.

Banking with a credit union can save on fees—but there are limitationsOn the surface, banking with a credit union may seem a lot like a traditional bank. But it’s not. 

Credit unions are similar to commercial banks in that they offer chequing and savings accounts, mortgages, business loans, online banking and registered savings plans—all for lower or no fees than traditional lenders.

Nvidia’s sales of its artificial intelligence chipsets remained a hot commodity during the company’s latest quarter, but the demand wasn’t quite feverish enough to ease recent worries that the AI craze may be fading.

The results announced Wednesday were hotly anticipated because Nvidia has emerged as key barometer of a two-year-old AI boom that has been propelling the stock market to new heights. The Silicon Valley chipmaker also became the first publicly traded company to achieve a $4 trillion market value. (All figures in U.S. dollars.)

In recent weeks, though, research reports and comments by prominent tech executives have raised investor fears that the AI mania has been overblown.

And now Nvidia’s latest numbers covering the May-July period may feed those perceptions because the sales of the company’s processors—indispensable components in the AI data centres being built around the world—aren’t growing as robustly as they once were. The late 2022 release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT unleashed a technological phenomenon that is starting to reshape society…
