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.

Trump Raises Doubts Over Putin’s Willingness for Ukraine Peace Deal

In a candid interview with Fox News, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed both hope and skepticism about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s intentions to end the war in Ukraine. While Trump suggested that Putin might be “tired” of the conflict, he acknowledged the possibility that the Kremlin leader “doesn’t want to make a deal” — a scenario he described as a “rough situation” for Putin.

The remarks came a day after a high-profile White House summit with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders from Germany, France, and the UK. Zelenskyy hailed the talks as a “major step forward” toward ending Europe’s deadliest conflict in eight decades, with plans for a potential trilateral meeting involving Trump and Putin in the coming weeks.

Despite the diplomatic momentum, Trump ruled out deploying U.S. troops to Ukraine and offered no specifics on the security guarantees Washington might provide Kyiv under a post-war settlement. Analysts warn that while the summit fostered optimism, the path to peace remains uncertain, with ongoing Russian strikes and deep divisions over potential compromises.

Ukraine’s allies are now working on additional sanctions to pressure Moscow, while NATO leaders prepare to discuss the evolving situation. For Kyiv, the coming weeks could prove pivotal in determining whether diplomacy can halt a war that has claimed over a million lives since 2022.
