The 成人VR视频 Personal Finance Essentials (MPFE) course helps prepare young Canadians for life, Benjamin Croitoru tells Jessica Moorhouse on the More Money Podcast. Personal finance should be taught in high school, or maybe even junior high, he posits. Finance can seem intimidating to the uninitiated, but personal finance isn鈥檛 as complicated as the world of high finance.
For people with defined contribution pension plans, longevity risk is a significant concern. You don鈥檛 want to outlive your money. The issue is compounded because today鈥檚 retirees have longer life expectancies than ever before, writes Sebastien Betermier in Benefits Canada. Most retirees decumulate their capital on their own, but because they鈥檙e afraid to outlast their savings, this leads to a pattern of living poor and dying rich. An advanced life deferred annuity (ALDA) can help address this problem.
The online marketplace Temu, launched in 2022, has become one of the most downloaded apps in North America. The platform is known for ultra-low prices, though the quality and safety of the products it sells are sometimes suspect. 鈥淚f I understand their business model correctly, they sell products at a loss, and make money from the data they collect,鈥� said Bensadoun School of Retail Management听(BSRM) Executive Director Charles de Brabant in an interview with Radio-Canada.
Some scholars have argued that MBAs serve business school bottom lines more than they benefit students, writes Ann Peng in the Kansas City Business Journal. Other studies have quantified significant financial benefits for those who hold these degrees. But the MBA doesn鈥檛 make the manager, and Peng suggests that recruiting MBA students based on their leadership experience instead of their years of general work experience can facilitate their leadership development.
In February, WestJet announced it was increasing fees for checked bags. Shortly after, Air Canada followed suit. Both airlines now charge between $35 and $42 for the first checked bag on economy fares. Though now common throughout the industry, it was only in 2014 that Canada鈥檚 major airlines introduced checked bag fees. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a business,鈥� says Prof. Karl Moore. 鈥淵ou鈥檙e leaving money on the table if you don鈥檛 do it. There鈥檚 no outrage about it, so you can make some more money.鈥�
Airfares are getting cheaper in Canada, but that doesn鈥檛 necessarily mean you鈥檒l pay less when you fly. In late 2023, WestJet introduced a $10 surcharge for checking bags with agents instead of online. Then, in February 2024, it increased checked bag fees for economy passengers on domestic flights. Low fares help attract customers, but the added fees can drive up the final bill substantially. 鈥淎irlines entice you with the low cost of the ticket, but the price is not as low as it appears with the ancillary fees,鈥� Prof.
In February 2024, the low-cost carrier Lynx Air announced it was filing for creditor protection and would cease operations, with just a few days鈥� notice to its ticket holders. The airline had significant overlap with Air Canada鈥檚 routes and never managed to gain a foothold in the market. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a difficult environment for airlines to make money in Canada,鈥� says Prof.

Just 17% of Canada鈥檚 small- and medium-sized enterprises are owned by women, and benevolent sexism among venture capitalists is one of the reasons for this yawning gap between female and male entrepreneurs. Benevolent sexism is a form of bias that appears positive on the surface, but ultimately reinforces gender roles and entrenches inequality, writes Desautels PhD candidate Nhu Nguyen in The Conversation.
In January 2024, Prof. Alain Pinsonneault was appointed to a four-year term on the Board of Directors of the Societ茅 des alcools du Qu茅bec (SAQ).
