Canada’s 2026 Federal Tax Brackets: The Five Income Ranges After Indexation

Canada’s federal income tax system adjusts each year to keep pace with inflation, and the 2026 tax year reflects another round of indexation. These updates ensure that taxpayers aren’t pushed into higher tax brackets simply because their incomes rise with the cost of living. For 2026, the inflation adjustment increases all bracket thresholds, and the fully implemented lowest tax rate of 14% remains in effect.

Trump Issues Ultimatum to Hamas Over Gaza Hostages

In a dramatic escalation of rhetoric, former President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Hamas, demanding the immediate release of hostages held in Gaza. Trump took to his Truth Social platform to deliver the ultimatum, stating, "Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you".

The warning comes amid unprecedented direct talks between U.S. officials and Hamas, a significant departure from the longstanding U.S. policy of avoiding direct engagement with the group, which is designated as a terrorist organization by Washington. The discussions, led by U.S. hostage affairs envoy Adam Boehler, aim to secure the release of American hostages still held in Gaza.

Trump's message also included a broader threat to the people of Gaza, stating, "A beautiful Future awaits, but not if you hold Hostages. If you do, you are DEAD!". This ultimatum follows a recent ceasefire agreement and the release of some hostages, but tensions remain high as the situation continues to evolve.

The former president's aggressive stance has drawn mixed reactions, with some praising his firm approach while others express concern over the potential for further escalation. As the world watches closely, the outcome of these negotiations remains uncertain.
