Tax authorities like the CRA, Revenue Quebec, and the IRS inquire about crypto use on tax returns, and the CRA recently sent 440,000 audit letters to inquire if recipients are crypto users. Tax agencies look closely at whether a user is an investor or a day trader, often using an eight-page questionnaire with about 30 questions to assess the user's involvement. A key distinction involves the volume of transactions; having more than 10 to 15 transactions a year, or more than 15 staking/reward transactions, can flag a user as a day trader. Automated trading is also a strong indicator of being a day trader.If classified as a day trader, income is taxed as business income at high personal marginal tax rates, versus a capital gain. Mahad strongly recommends that day traders incorporate, as a corporation's tax rate in Canada is only 12.2% on gains up to half a million, and personal assets can be transferred to the corporation using a Section 85 Rollover. Specific crypto activities are also addressed: staking rewards and airdrops are taxable at their fair market value upon receipt, and the daily nature of these payments can increase the risk of being classified as a day trader. Winnings from prediction markets are taxable, unlike lottery winnings in Canada, because they involve crypto as the medium of prediction. Losses from hacks or exchange failures are not automatic write-offs; they require proper documentation, such as filing a police report and obtaining a federal file number, which Block3 Finance uses to defend the loss claims if audited.Looking ahead, Mahad predicts an increase in audits, on-chain analysis, and less tolerance for errors from governments as education and awareness become more widespread. Global data sharing is also imminent, with the Common Reporting Standard on Crypto-Assets (CARF) set to begin in 2027, meaning tax authorities will have access to international wallet information. Finally, he emphasizes the importance of estate planning, urging crypto users to have an up-to-date will and proper documentation to ensure that beneficiaries and executives can access their crypto, wallets, and seed phrases, noting that "death and taxes are both guaranteed".

Host Gerry Scott sits down with Heather Sanders of Tax Junction, a cross-border personal tax specialist who helps U.S. citizens living in Canada and Canadians working for U.S. employers navigate the complexities of filing in two countries at once.With a practice built around real people in real cross-border situations, not corporations or trusts, Heather brings practical, ground-level insight into the mistakes that happen when employees move countries without thinking through the tax consequences first, and what it actually takes to get it right.Together, Gerry and Heather unpack some of the most misunderstood rules facing cross-border workers, including why "I just work from my home office" is never as simple as it sounds, and why the payroll question matters more than most people realize.In this conversation, they explore:Why the country where you physically work determines where your payroll must be registered, and the liability risk employers face when it isn'tThe Certificate of Coverage and when Canadians working for U.S. companies can still contribute to CPPHow 401(k) contributions are treated in Canada and why aligning them with your RSP room is the key to avoiding a surprise tax billWhy RSP contributions aren't deductible on a U.S. return, and why that usually matters less than people fearThe risks of large catch-up RSP contributions for U.S. citizens living in CanadaHow mid-year payroll switches between W-2 and T-4, especially when RSUs are involved, can create reporting nightmaresWhy selling U.S. real estate as a Canadian non-resident requires the right people in your corner from the startThe foreign tax credit audit that CRA triggers more often than most people expect, and what happens when no one respondsWhy "my situation is pretty straightforward" is almost never true once a border is involvedIf you're living in Canada and working for a U.S. employer, considering a cross-border move, or simply trying to understand what compliance actually looks like for internationally mobile workers, this episode offers a frank and practical look at the planning that protects you and the mistakes that are far easier to avoid than to fix.Cross-border tax doesn't have to be overwhelming.

Revenue is vanity. Profit is sanity. Cash flow is sovereignty. In this episode, host Colleen O'Connell-Campbell sits down with Melissa Houston - CPA, business finance coach, fractional CFO, and author of 'Cash Confident' - to explore why so many business owners are working hard but not building wealth. Melissa shares her mission to close the business financial literacy gap, particularly for women entrepreneurs, and explains how a few key changes in pricing, expense management, and cash flow can completely change a business's trajectory. The conversation covers the emotional side of money (including both Colleen's and Melissa's personal money stories), the alarming stats on women-owned businesses, and why understanding your numbers is the foundation for building a business that is not just profitable, but sellable. Melissa also previews Profit Buys, her AI-powered tech platform designed to put a fractional CFO in every business owner's pocket.   Key Takeaways:   Financial literacy is not optional for business owners. Your accountant, bookkeeper, and financial advisor are partners - but they do not give you permission to check out of your own numbers.   Revenue and profit are not the same thing. Melissa has seen seven- and eight-figure businesses go bankrupt because they were not managing cash well. Volume does not equal profitability.   The three changes that move the needle fastest are ensuring your pricing is profitable, managing your expenses deliberately, and understanding that cash balances and profit are two different things.   Many business owners do not know which of their products or services is most profitable - and often assume it is their best seller, which is not always the case. Promoting your most profitable offer can change the trajectory of the business.   Money mindset is a muscle, not a one-time exercise. Everyone carries a money story from childhood, and those stories show up in business decisions - from hesitating on sales to underpricing services.   The stats on women-owned businesses are sobering: of 13 million women-owned businesses in the U.S., only 1.9% generate over $1 million in revenue, roughly 68% make under $50,000 per year, less than 2% of women have a financially successful exit, and less than 2% of venture capital goes to women.   In Canada, CRA data shows 90% of women-owned businesses are filing as self-employed - meaning they are not incorporated and likely not building a sellable asset.   Whether you are a startup, scaling, or thinking about your exit, your business should be an asset that supports your long-term goals and legacy.

Linda Ockwell-Jenner interviews SBCN member expert: Peter Piluk, Creative Minds Accounting's founder, on small business tax tips. Peter emphasizes the correct tax order: current payroll taxes first, followed by HST, then income taxes. He warns against common mistakes like claiming non-eligible expenses (e.g., clothing) and stresses the importance of keeping digital and physical receipts. Peter shares that business owners can claim 61-62 cents per kilometre for mileage. He advises against DIY tax preparation if behind by more than two years and reassures that the CRA is manageable, not intimidating.

I know I said that we would only be releasing Friday public lands news episodes every other week, but we have a special episode for you today covering two of the most pressing issues regarding public lands policy: the nomination of Steve Pearce to lead the BLM and the use of the CRA to roll back a 20-year mining ban in Northern MN. Why couldn't we cover them next Friday? Well, both of these topics are either being voted on or discussed in Congress next week. So, we wanted to give listeners a heads up before they happen, why they're important, and who we can contact about them. To help us explore these important public lands stories, I am joined by Wendy Schneider. Wendy has undertaken a number of professional endeavors over the course of her career, including working on campaigns and for elected officials on Capitol Hill, fundraising for a large national nonprofit, and practicing law at large international firms in Los Angeles. Thrilled to now be able to call herself a conservation professional, she has been leading Friends of the Inyo since 2017. Friends of the Inyo's mission is to protect and care for the land and water of the area we now call California's Eastern Sierra. They engage in both stewardship and advocacy work to protect healthy ecosystems and species in our working area. They always work in collaboration with many partners, including the Indigenous Community, as well as scientific, recreational, and many other local, regional, and national stakeholders.

Enroll in our FREE masterclass here and book a call hereIs index fund investing really the best path to financial freedom — or is it only effective if you can survive the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it?Most investors are told the same advice: buy the market, hold for decades, and trust long-term averages.

Or when you're retired and withdrawing income during a downturn?In this episode of Canadian Wealth Secrets, Kyle Pearce and Jon Orr break down a powerful question many Canadians overlook:Index Fund Investing: Growth Strategy or Income Strategy?They explore why index funds feel simple on paper, why real estate often feels “safer,” and how the best portfolio isn't just the one with the highest average return — it's the one you can actually stay committed to.This conversation dives into:The real reason many investors abandon index funds during market volatilityIndex fund vs real estate: why real estate feels more stable (even when it isn't)How an income investing strategy can reduce emotional decision-makingWhy leveraged investing in Canada looks great in spreadsheets but feels scary in real lifeWhat the 4 percent rule in Canada misses when markets decline during retirementHow to think about diversification, “dry powder,” and building a portfolio that supports long-term income needsIf you've ever wondered whether your RRSP, TFSA, or corporate investments are built for true financial freedom — or just built for average returns — this episode will shift the way you think about investing.

This episode provides a high-level recap of the major regulatory compliance themes covered in 2025. Dean highlights intense regulatory volatility, especially around CRA and Section 1071, including rule freezes, proposed repeals, litigation, delayed compliance dates, and the CFPB's move toward an interim final rule for small-business lending data collection. The discussion also revisits key fair lending, redlining, and data-analysis topics, along with rising operational risks such as BSA/AML/KYC modernization, third-party risk management, and expanding concerns around AI, data governance, cybersecurity, and privacy. Consumer protection issues featured prominently, particularly Regulation E error-resolution failures, elder financial exploitation, and recurring flood compliance violations. The takeaway for compliance and risk officers: conduct a CMS health check, document lessons learned from 2025, and proactively brief senior management and the board with a clear 2026 risk and compliance plan focused on these evolving priorities.

This classic Dental Hacks episode features a long-form interview with Dr. Rella Christensen of TRAC Research (formerly CRA). The discussion covers the history of independent product evaluation, the challenges of maintaining objectivity in dental research, and significant findings regarding restorative materials and caries management. The original interview had really poor sound quality but a little help from an Adobe AI filter really cleared it up. This interview was worth another listen, I think! Key Interview Highlights 1. The Origins and Ethics of TRAC Research History: The organization began in 1976 (founded by Gordon Christensen) with the goal of collecting subjective data from clinicians to create objective "Consumer Reports" style rankings for dentistry. Unbiased Stance: Dr. Christensen emphasized that TRAC is a non-profit foundation that accepts no funding from manufacturers. If a company refuses to provide a product for testing (often fearing a negative review), TRAC purchases it on the open market to ensure the data is captured. The "File Drawer" Effect: They discussed how negative research is rarely published in journals due to corporate influence in dental schools and editorial boards. TRAC aims to publish the truth, even when it is negative. 2. Restorative Materials: The Zirconia Revolution 10-Year Study Results: Dr. Christensen detailed a 10-year study comparing various ceramic systems. The Failure: Zirconia substructures (like Lava) survived well, but the veneering ceramics (porcelain layered on top) had massive failure rates (chipping and cracking). The Winner: The study pointed toward monolithic zirconia (specifically BruxZir) and lithium disilicate (e.max) as the most durable options. Translucency Warning: She noted that as manufacturers push for more translucent (anterior) zirconia, they often lower the flexural strength (from ~1200 MPa to ~600 MPa). She cautioned that the long-term fracture toughness of these newer, "prettier" zirconias was still unknown at the time 3. The "Bombshell": Enamel Remineralization & Caries The Study: TRAC performed an in-depth clinical study on 330 orthodontic patients (high risk for white spot lesions). They tested various protocols including MI Paste, Fluoride Varnish, Ozone, and Xylitol against a control group. The Result: None of the products performed statistically better than the control group (who did nothing special), with the exception of PreviDent 5000, which was only marginally better. The Conclusion: Dr. Christensen concluded that you cannot arrest caries or remineralize enamel if the patient's diet is not addressed. She stated that dental caries is "the only infectious disease we attempt to treat while allowing the cause [sugar] to continue."

Join host Alan Kaplinsky, founder and former longtime leader of Ballard Spahr's Consumer Financial Services Group and one of the foremost thought leaders in the industry, as he welcomes two special guests for a timely and insightful conversation about the most significant deregulatory developments in banking law during 2025. Alan is joined by his Ballard Spahr colleague Scott Coleman, a partner with more than 30 years of experience guiding banks and bank holding companies through mergers, acquisitions, and all facets of regulatory compliance, especially in the community banking sector. They're also joined by Dr. Sean Campbell, Chief Economist and Head of Policy Research at the Financial Services Forum, where he represents the eight U.S. global systemically important banks. Dr. Campbell is a distinguished economist, former senior Federal Reserve official, and published academic. In this episode, Alan, Scott, and Sean break down the latest developments and ongoing trends in bank regulation and supervision, and digital innovation. You'll get expert analysis and practical takeaways on: ·                 The Deregulatory Wave: How the Trump administration's aggressive deregulatory agenda is streamlining exams, reducing supervisory burdens, and shifting the focus toward core financial risk-while eliminating reputational risk as a part of President Trump's Debanking Executive Order. ·                 Supervision and Stress Testing Reform: Why new Federal Reserve proposals to increase transparency in stress testing mark a turning point for large banks, moving away from a "check-the-box" approach to a laser focus on tangible risks like capital, liquidity, and asset quality. ·                 Deposit Insurance Debate: The pros, cons, and historical lessons of raising FDIC insurance limits-especially in the wake of recent bank failures and how the right balance can preserve market discipline. ·                 Community Reinvestment Act in the Digital Age: Why the CRA's geography-based model is due for an overhaul as banking goes mobile and regulatory priorities shift. ·                 Crypto, Stablecoins, and Regulatory Parity: What the Bipartisan Enactment of the GENIUS Act (regulating stablecoins) means for banks and fintechs, and why applying anti-money laundering rules across the board could level the playing field. ·                 Eliminating Reputational Risk: How regulators are eliminating the use of "reputational risk" as a catch-all supervisory and enforcement tool and what this means for fair access and bank governance. ·                 Looking to the Future: The group reflects on what's next for the bank regulatory landscape, Wall Street's view on the industry, and the practical impacts on banks and consumers. Whether you're a banker, regulator, or just want to understand how Washington and Wall Street are shaping the future of finance, this episode delivers the highlights of 2025 and insights you need going into 2026.
