A spreadsheet. A simple idea. A Canadian success story valued at C$13.8 billion. How did Wealthsimple grow from helping friends invest into a financial platform used by millions of Canadians?

In this video, we explore how Michael Katchen, Brett Huneycutt and Rudy Adler built Wealthsimple around one powerful idea: making money management easier to understand and use.

We also explain the scale behind its growth, including company-reported client assets under administration of C$169.2 billion as of September 30, 2026, and the financing agreement announced in October 2026 at a C$13.8 billion company valuation.

Beyond Brampton: Meet Ontario’s South Asian Election Winners

A Brampton lawyer. A Guelph newcomer. A Kingston entrepreneur. Ontario’s South Asian election story stretches far beyond one city—and the people behind the results have remarkable journeys to share.

Following Ontario’s 2026 municipal elections, we explore the stories of new and returning councillors, including Sukhman Sangha, Navjit Kaur Brar, Ausma Malik, Mustafa Zuberi and Jimmy Hassan. Their backgrounds span healthcare, law, education, business and community service.

From Brampton and Toronto to Stratford, Kitchener and Kingston, discover how these representatives built connections with the communities they will serve. Authentic city footage, portraits and custom maps bring their stories into focus.

The election also brought disappointments. We look at the unsuccessful mayoral bids of Dipika Damerla, Sameera Ali and Raj Sandhu, alongside the council victories opening a new chapter for other South Asian Canadians.

What happens next matters to everyone: neighbourhoods, local services, infrastructure and public spending. Subscribe to Weekly Voice for Canadian news and the people shaping our communities. Read more: https://t.co/tDwORsqTMz
