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. What's Actually Happening When you need to change something on a tax return you've already filed — say you forgot a slip, need to update a deduction, or want to claim a credit you missed — you submit what's called a T1 adjustment request.

Kremlin Balances Criticism of Trump’s Rhetoric With Hope for Peace Talks

U.S. President Donald Trump meets with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy during the 80th United Nations General Assembly, in New York City


Russia has responded cautiously to U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent remarks suggesting Ukraine could reclaim all of its territory, a sharp departure from his earlier calls for compromise. While Kremlin officials dismissed the idea of a Ukrainian military victory as “mistaken,” they also emphasized that Moscow still assumes Trump remains committed to pursuing a negotiated settlement.

Trump’s comments came after his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during the UN General Assembly in New York. On social media, he described Russia as facing “BIG Economic trouble” and urged Kyiv to act decisively. The Kremlin quickly pushed back, with spokesperson Dmitry Peskov warning that such statements encourage Ukraine to prolong the conflict rather than seek dialogue.

Despite the sharper tone, Russian officials stopped short of declaring Trump’s peace efforts over. Analysts note that Moscow continues to view Washington as an indispensable player in any eventual settlement, even as it signals determination to press ahead militarily.

The mixed messaging underscores the fragile state of diplomacy: Trump’s unpredictability has rattled Moscow, but his repeated insistence that he wants the war to end leaves the door open for renewed negotiations.
