A Canadian Dividend Stock Is Leaving Canada — What Algonquin Power's US Move Means for Your RRSP and TFSA

  Published August 9, 2026 Algonquin Power's move to Delaware could change how your dividends are taxed — and whether index funds keep holding the stock at all. If you've owned Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (TSX/NYSE: AQN) in your RRSP or TFSA for the dividend, pay attention this week. On Friday, August 7, the Oakville, Ontario-based utility announced it plans to leave Canada — reincorporating as a Delaware company with its head office moving to Chicago. It's not a rumour or a boardroom leak. It came straight from the company's own Q2 2026 earnings release, and CEO Rod West was blunt about the reasoning: more than 80% of Algonquin's operations are now in the United States, with less than 5% left in Canada. The plan is to align the corporate address with where the business actually lives.

Hamas Releases Video of Two Israeli Captives Held in Gaza

 

Hamas, the militant group in Gaza, has published a video showing the first proof of life of two hostages being held: Keith Siegel, a 64-year-old American-Israeli citizen, and Omri Miran. In the undated footage, Mr. Miran states that he has been held captive for 202 days, while Mr. Siegel mentions the Passover holiday, suggesting the clips were filmed recently.

Mr. Siegel was kidnapped along with his wife Aviva on October 7. Aviva was freed in November during a brief truce, but at that time, she did not know if Keith was still alive. The Hostages Families Forum Headquarters confirmed that the Siegel and Miran families are aware of the latest video. This proof of life is the clearest evidence that the Israeli government must do everything to approve a deal for the return of all the hostages.

The video comes after another proof-of-life video released earlier in the week, showing Israeli-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who lost his lower left arm during Hamas’s attack on southern Israel in October.

In the video, both Mr. Siegel and Mr. Miran urge the Israeli government to agree to a deal with Hamas for a ceasefire and the release of hostages. However, weeks of indirect negotiations have failed to produce an agreement. Hamas has previously insisted that any deal should include a permanent end to the war, full Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza, and unrestricted return of displaced people to their homes. Meanwhile, Israel maintains its stance that it must destroy Hamas in Gaza and free the hostages.

Despite warnings of potential humanitarian consequences, Israel appears to be moving ahead with plans for an offensive in Rafah, southern Gaza, where 1.5 million displaced Palestinians are sheltering.
