## Resource

Canadians are getting a financial game-changer this summer: Wealthsimple is launching access to Kalshi, a U.S. prediction market where you bet on real-world events like economic trends and climate shifts—not sports or awards. After regulators cleared the way for trading on approved categories, Canadians can now trade thousands of event contracts without needing a VPN. While Wealthsimple will emphasize risk education, the platform’s focus on serious financial and environmental events may appeal more to investors than gamblers. With U.S. platforms booming, Canada’s entry is cautious but promising—watch to see if this new financial tool evolves. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
