Merkel reiterates support for US EU trade deal
– canadianbusiness.com
German Chancellor Angela Merkel says she’s open to restarting talks with the United States on a trade deal with the European Union.
The dpa news agency reported Tuesday that Merkel told a business audience in Bavaria that President Donald Trump’s administration had signalled it is ready to negotiate and that “for me a Trans-Atlantic agreement remains on the daily agenda.”
On a trip to Berlin last month, U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said the U.S. and EU should have a free trade agreement. Negotiations for the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership deal, known as TTIP, started under the Obama administration but have been stalled since last year.
Merkel says protectionist policies can be self-defeating.
She says “it’s been repeatedly shown that open markets have economic advantages for all parties involved.”

Here’s how much more a TFSA can help you save
– moneysense.ca
There were more than 11.7 million TFSA holders in 2014, according to the latest statistics available from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).Slowly but surely, more and more Canadians are opening a TFSA to supercharge their savings (the 2017 TFSA contribution limit is set at $5,500).
The TFSA is very flexible. Unlike an RRSP, there are no withdrawal limits, making the tax-free savings account the perfect place for short- and medium-term savings goals, such as an emergency fund, a wedding, or a trip. It can also be used to save for retirement.
The TFSA is tax sheltered, meaning you don’t have to pay taxes on any capital gains, interest income, or dividend income earned. The ability to shield your investments from the CRA can translate into huge savings down the road.
Consider the following example: You’re 26, live in Alberta, and decide to put $5,500 in a TFSA annually (it’s worth noting that up until this point, you’ll have accumulated $52,000 in TFSA contribution room). The infographic below shows how much you’d make over 10 years in a TFSA vs…
The Ontario Securities Commission says it has reached a preliminary settlement deal with Manulife Securities Inc. after a number of clients were inadvertently charged excessive investment fees.
