BRICS: What does it mean for Canadian investors?
BRICS is an informal coalition of emerging economies to challenge the dominance of Western-led institutions like the IMF and World Bank. The bloc now represents over a quarter of global GDP and nearly half of the world's population, making it a significant player in shaping global economic and political dynamics BRICS aims to reform global governance by advocating for more representation of emerging economies in institutions like the U.N. Security Council BRICS' push to reduce dependence on the U.S. dollar could lead to increased use of local currencies or gold-backed trade mechanisms BRICS is an informal coalition of emerging economies—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—formed in 2009 to challenge the dominance of Western-led institutions like the IMF and World Bank. In recent years, the group has expanded to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, and Indonesia, with several other countries designated as 'partners'. The bloc now represents over a quarter of global GDP and nearly half of the world's population, making it a significant player in shaping global economic and political dynamics. This article is a journalistic opinion piece which has been written based on independent research. It is intended to inform investors and should not be taken as a recommendation or financial advice. BRICS' role in the global economy BRICS aims to: Reform global governance by advocating for more representation of emerging economies in institutions like the U.N. Security Council. by advocating for more representation of emerging economies in institutions like the U.N. Security Council. Coordinate economic policy among members to stabilize trade and investment flows. among members to stabilize trade and investment flows. Reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar , promoting trade in local currencies and exploring the idea of a common BRICS currency. , promoting trade in local currencies and exploring the idea of a common BRICS currency. Develop alternative financial systems, such as the New Development Bank (NDB) and the Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA), which offer infrastructure and development financing outside traditional Western channels. Despite internal divisions and geopolitical tensions—such as differing stances on Russia's invasion of Ukraine—the bloc continues to grow in influence, particularly among countries in the Global South seeking alternatives to Western dominance. Implications for Canadian investors The expansion and ambitions of BRICS carry several key implications for Canadian investors: 1. Currency diversification and de-dollarization BRICS' push to reduce dependence on the U.S. dollar could lead to increased use of local currencies or gold-backed trade mechanisms. This shift may affect currency markets and global liquidity, prompting Canadian investors to reassess exposure to USD-denominated assets and consider diversification into commodities or emerging market currencies. 2. Commodity markets and resource competition Many BRICS members are resource-rich nations. Their coordination on export policies and resource pricing could influence global supply chains and commodity prices. Canadian sectors like mining, energy, and agriculture may face new competition or opportunities depending on how BRICS nations manage their resource strategies. 3. Geopolitical risk and market volatility As BRICS challenges Western institutions, geopolitical tensions may rise, affecting global markets. Canadian investors should monitor developments in BRICS-led trade agreements, sanctions, and regional conflicts, which could impact multinational corporations and global investment portfolios. 4. Emerging market opportunities BRICS expansion opens doors to new investment opportunities in emerging markets. Canadian investors might explore infrastructure, fintech, and clean energy projects funded by the NDB or aligned with BRICS development goals. However, these opportunities come with higher political and regulatory risks, requiring careful due diligence. 5. Strategic realignment Canada, as part of the G7 and a close ally of the U.S., may need to recalibrate its foreign policy and trade strategies in response to BRICS' growing influence. This could affect bilateral trade agreements, investment flows, and regulatory environments that Canadian investors rely on. Conclusion BRICS is no longer just a loose coalition of emerging economies—it's a growing force reshaping the global economic order. For Canadian investors, this presents both risks and opportunities. Staying informed about BRICS developments, diversifying portfolios, and adapting to shifting geopolitical dynamics will be crucial in navigating this evolving landscape.

Air Canada to Gradually Resume Service Today after Reaching a Mediated Settlement with its Flight Attendant Union Français
Customers may book and fly with confidence MONTRÉAL, Aug. 19, 2025 /CNW/ - Air Canada said it will gradually restart its operations today after reaching a mediated agreement with the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) through a process overseen by a mutually agreed-to mediator, William Kaplan. Mediation discussions were begun on the basis that the union commit to have the airline's 10,000 flight attendants immediately return to work, allowing the airline to resume the operations of Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge, which have been grounded since August 16. "The suspension of our service is extremely difficult for our customers. We deeply regret and apologize for the impact on them of this labour disruption. Our priority now is to get them moving as quickly as possible. Restarting a major carrier like Air Canada is a complex undertaking. Full restoration may require a week or more, so we ask for our customers' patience and understanding over the coming days. I assure them that everyone at Air Canada is doing everything possible to enable them to travel soon," said Michael Rousseau, President and Chief Executive Officer of Air Canada. The first flights are scheduled for the evening of August 19, but customers are advised that the airline's return to full, regular service may require seven-to-ten days as aircraft and crew are out of position. During this process, some flights will be cancelled over the next seven to ten days until the schedule is stabilized. Only customers with confirmed bookings whose flights are shown as operating should go to the airport (check your flight's status on or on the Air Canada mobile app before going to the airport). Air Canada will offer options to those with cancelled flights, including obtaining a full refund or receiving a credit for future travel. The carrier will also offer to rebook customers on other airlines, although capacity is currently limited due to the peak summer travel season. As is customary, Air Canada will not comment on the agreement until the ratification process is complete. During any ratification or under the binding arbitration process, a strike or lockout is not possible, meaning customers can plan, book and travel with Air Canada with certainty.
