Buffett called the recent market shock a one-two punch with coronavirus and the plunge in oil prices, but indicated that the October crash of 1987 which he called a financial panic was worse. As for the market collapse in the the fall of 2008, he said that was much more scary, by far, than anything that happened yesterday [Monday of this week.] https://ca.finance.yahoo.com//warren-buffett-coronavirus-o

The Canada Child Benefit (CCB) The CCB is a completely tax-free monthly payment provided for children under 18. In order to receive it, both parents of the child must individually file a tax return, whether or not there is income to report. The CCB is based on family net income (Line 236 on the income tax return of each parent), and the number and age of eligible children. In most cases, the CCB is paid to the mother of the children, although it may be split when parents... are separated and share joint custody. The CCB is usually applied for when a child is born, or when a family immigrates to Canada. How much is the CCB? Starting with the July 2018 benefit year, the maximum monthly amount is $541.33 or $6,496 per year for children under the age of 6. For children aged 6 to 17, the maximum monthly amount is $456.75 or $5,481 per year. Please note that these amounts may change in July 2019. The benefit is initially reduced when family net income reaches $30,450, and is reduced again when family net income exceeds $65,975. The tax-savvy family will soon notice their family’s CCBs will start to decrease measurably, just as their taxes payable increase and take-home is reduced. With CCB clawback rates as high as 23%, marginal tax rates can exceed 50% when you factor in rising taxable income levels and benefit reductions. Avoiding High Marginal Tax Rates with RRSPs. An RRSP contribution reduces family net income levels and cuts down the impact of the CCB reductions, while also reducing taxes payable. Remember: the RRSP deduction will decrease the reduction of the monthly CCB benefits in the next benefit year, which runs from July 1 to June 30.
