CRA Tax Adjustment Delays Now Stretch Up to 47 Weeks — Here's How to Avoid Getting Stuck

   July 12, 2026   If you've ever filed a request to correct or update your tax return and then waited... and waited... you're not imagining it. Canada's Taxpayers' Ombudsperson has confirmed that some Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) adjustment requests are now taking nearly a year to process — and it's launched a formal investigation into why.

Tensions Rise as Trump Warns Medvedev Amid US-Russia War of Words

 

                                                     Vladimir Putin pictured with former president Dmitry Medvedev, who is currently deputy                                                             chairman of the Security Council

The diplomatic rift between the United States and Russia deepened this week as former U.S. President Donald Trump issued a sharp rebuke to Russian official Dmitry Medvedev, telling him to “watch your words.” The comment came in response to Medvedev’s recent statements criticizing U.S. foreign policy and warning of consequences if Washington continues its stance on global security issues.

Trump’s remark, delivered via social media, reignited a flurry of exchanges between the two nations, with Russian officials accusing the U.S. of “provocative rhetoric” and “imperial arrogance.” Medvedev, the former Russian president and current deputy chairman of the Security Council, has been increasingly vocal in recent months, often using inflammatory language to describe Western policies.

The escalation underscores the fragile state of U.S.-Russia relations, which have been strained by ongoing conflicts, sanctions, and accusations of election interference. Analysts warn that the war of words could further complicate diplomatic efforts and fuel geopolitical instability.

While Trump no longer holds office, his influence on international discourse remains potent, and his comments continue to shape the tone of U.S. engagement abroad. The latest exchange suggests that tensions between Washington and Moscow are unlikely to cool anytime soon.
