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.

Canada Post Workers Reject Contract Offer, Prolonging Labour Dispute

 


Majority of Postal Workers Vote Against Latest Deal

Unionized workers at Canada Post have overwhelmingly rejected the Crown corporation’s latest contract offer, intensifying a labour dispute that has stretched over 18 months and raising concerns about potential service disruptions.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) announced that nearly 69% of rural and suburban mail carriers and 68.5% of urban employees voted against the proposal, which included a 13% wage increase over four years and the addition of part-time positions. CUPW argued that the offer failed to address core concerns such as job security and working conditions, and urged Canada Post to return to the bargaining table with a more acceptable deal.

Canada Post expressed disappointment with the vote outcome but thanked employees for participating. The corporation said it is evaluating its next steps and emphasized the need to modernize operations amid mounting financial losses—reportedly $10 million per day in June.

Federal mediators remain involved, and Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu has stated that the government expects both parties to reach a resolution soon. Meanwhile, a national overtime ban for CUPW members continues, and the threat of further strike action looms if negotiations stall again.
