Wealthsimple’s Rise: From a Spreadsheet to C$13.8 Billion
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.
Follow the journey from its Toronto launch in 2014 to commission-free stock and ETF trading, tax filing, and everyday financial services. Discover how solving connected problems helped Wealthsimple become part of Canadians’ daily lives.
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.
Stay to the end for the entrepreneurial lesson behind it all: a useful idea can start small and grow by helping people solve everyday problems.

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: weeklyvoice.com

World War 3? Why Governments Are Preparing for the Worst
Nuclear submarines at sea. Families encouraged to keep emergency supplies. Governments planning for disruptions to food, water and electricity. What is behind these preparations—and how worried should we be?
In this World Today report, VNN examines Britain’s submarine headlines, Europe’s civilian preparedness campaigns and the military warnings fuelling fears of World War III.
We explain the difference between preparing for a possible conflict and expecting one to begin. From deterrence to protecting essential services, these preparations serve several purposes—and they do not establish that world war is inevitable.
For Canadians, a wider crisis could affect fuel prices, international shipping, communications and everyday shopping. We explore how those risks reach households and which developments deserve attention. Visuals include illustrative stock and archival footage.
Are these sensible precautions or a sign of growing danger? Share your thoughts below and subscribe to VNN for more World Today coverage.
