The Canada Strong Fund — Invest Like the Government

  Published on MoneySavings.ca | Personal Finance | May 2026 Imagine being able to put your savings into the same fund the federal government is betting $25 billion on. For the first time in Canadian history, that's exactly what Ottawa is offering you — a front-row seat (and a direct stake) in the country's biggest nation-building push in generations. On April 28, 2026, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Canada's first national sovereign wealth fund — the Canada Strong Fund. It's a bold, headline-grabbing idea: let everyday Canadians invest directly alongside the government in the ports, pipelines, mines, and infrastructure projects shaping our economic future. But before you start redirecting your TFSA contributions, let's break down exactly what this fund is, what it promises, what it costs — and whether it might belong in your financial plan.

Central Gaza Airstrike Claims Lives Amid Leadership Divisions

 

In a tragic incident, an Israeli airstrike in central Gaza resulted in the loss of 20 lives, predominantly women and children. The conflict continues to escalate across the region, with Israel’s leaders grappling over the governance of Gaza in the aftermath of the prolonged war, now entering its eighth month.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces criticism from his own War Cabinet, while his political rival, Benny Gantz, threatens to leave the government unless a comprehensive plan is formulated by June 8. This plan includes the establishment of an international administration for postwar Gaza. Meanwhile, U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan is engaging with Israeli leaders to discuss an ambitious proposal: Saudi Arabia recognizing Israel and assisting the Palestinian Authority in governing Gaza, in exchange for a path toward eventual statehood. Netanyahu, however, remains opposed to Palestinian statehood and insists on maintaining open-ended security control over Gaza, collaborating with local Palestinians unaffiliated with Hamas or the Western-backed Palestinian Authority.

As the discussions on postwar planning gain urgency, the conflict continues unabated. Recent weeks have seen Hamas regrouping in parts of northern Gaza that were heavily bombed earlier in the war. Israeli ground troops had already operated in these areas. The recent airstrike in Nuseirat, a Palestinian refugee camp dating back to the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, claimed 20 lives, including eight women and four children. Another strike on a street in Nuseirat resulted in five more casualties, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent emergency service. Additionally, a senior officer in the Hamas-run police was killed in Deir al-Balah, further escalating tensions.

The situation remains dire, with no clear end in sight. As the world watches, the toll of human suffering continues to mount, and the need for a lasting solution becomes increasingly urgent.
