If you were in the same tax bracket for your whole life, the TFSA and RRSP would be essentially the same. Generally, use a TFSA if you're in a low tax bracket now but expect to earn more in the future. On the other hand, if you're a high-income earner, you'll get a significant benefit from the RRSP's tax deduction. Money withdrawn from TFSAs can be re-contributed the following calendar year with no penalty, whereas money withdrawn from an RRSP is not only taxable, the contribution room is lost forever. This means TFSAs are a great option if you're a young person saving for a medium-term goal, like a down payment on a home, while RRSPs should be earmarked for long-term retirement savings only. [2021] - Dan Bortolotti

Chamomile tea and green tea appear to share the same mechanisms for blood sugar control: blocking the transport of sugars through the intestinal wall. [2023] - Michael Greger
