你有没有试过，让 AI 帮你解释 ETF、看一只股票、算退休，或者判断该不该提前还房贷？ 它说得很快。 也很像那么回事。 但理财最难的，常常不是看懂一个产品。 而是看清自己的约束：收入、家庭、税务、房贷、风险承受力，还有你晚上能不能睡得着。 这一场，我们继续用「AI 双面圆桌派」的方式，聊 AI + 理财。 我们会聊几个普通人真的会遇到的问题： * AI 能帮我们省下哪些查资料、做比较、读文件的时间？ * 为什么同样收入、同样资产的两个家庭，答案可能完全不同？ * AI 给出的投资观点，普通人可以怎么验证，而不是直接相信？ * 金融平台越来越智能之后，效率、推荐和用户保护之间怎么平衡？ * 当金融骗局从群发话术变成个性化关系，我们该如何提高警觉？ 这不是一场投资课。 也不会给个股推荐。 我们更想聊的是： AI 可以帮我们更快看懂信息，但它不能替我们承担后果。 ***嘉宾介绍*** **Melinda Hu, CFP** 加拿大 CFP 注册财务规划师，拥有 20 年中加税务与财富规划经验，专注小企业与家庭的税务及退休规划。她长期关注 AI 对财务规划行业的影响，也关注在技术快速变化的时代，人们如何重新理解财富、风险与安全感。 **Alex Luo** 资深 IT 软件架构师，15 年深耕云技术、AI 人工智能与科技金融行业。金融创业 5 年，致力于中产阶级财商教育和理财服务，关注 AI 在金融行业的应用和发展。 ***About Startup4Chinese*** Started in August 2017, Startup4Chinese's mission is to INSPIRE, EMPOWER, and CONNECT entrepreneurial minds not only among Chinese but beyond.

**Overview** A full moon evening of soulful music, mantra & meditation by Lake Ontario, to nourish your mind, body, & spirit. **Moonlight Mantras** **by the Lake** A full moon evening of soulful music, mantras & meditation by Lake Ontario, designed to nourish your mind, body, and spirit. Step out of the city, without ever leaving it. Join us for an evening retreat at Ashbridges Bay Yacht Club, where the noise of Toronto fades into the background and the stillness of the lake and full moon takes over. For a few hours, you’ll feel as though you’ve traveled far beyond the city to bathe in the soothing mantras and soulful melodies of our live musicians. Hosted in the gorgeous clubhouse with sweeping views of the bay, you’ll be guided through a soothing blend of music, mantra chanting, and meditation. Rooted in ancient traditions, mantra works through sound and vibration - subtle frequencies that calm the mind, settle the body, and gently uplift the spirit. Sing along and sway for an embodied experience. The full moon has long been associated with heightened awareness, emotional clarity, and reflection. It’s a powerful time to pause, reset, and turn inward. This evening is designed to help you tap into that energy effortlessly. Afterward, you’re invited to linger around, sit on the patio, walk along the docks, and take in the quiet glow of the moon over the water. Whether you’re new to meditation or already on your journey, this experience offers a rare opportunity: to feel completely transported, while still in the heart of the city. ✨ Expect a serene, calming, and uplifting evening ✨ Soulful live music and guided mantra chanting ✨ Meditation under the full moon by the lake ✨ A peaceful, welcoming community atmosphere Come as you are - and leave feeling lighter, calmer, and renewed.

Main Library, Meeting Room 2B Join us for a welcoming evening of reflection, gentle music, and meaningful conversation. We’ll begin with a short grounding moment, followed by a brief reading from spiritual or philosophical traditions, and an open reflection circle where participants can share (or simply listen). Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection. All backgrounds are welcome.

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving." The film continues John Carney’s “long run of success with yet another charmer” and “a sharp, hopeful crowd-pleaser that strikes the right notes!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8!
