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.

RFK Jr. Faces Bipartisan Firestorm Over Vaccine Policies in Fiery Senate Showdown

U.S. Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) speaks as U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., testifies before a Senate Finance Committee hearing on President Donald Trump's 2026 health care agenda, on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., U.S., September 4, 2025. 

In a tense three-hour Senate Finance Committee hearing, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. came under sharp bipartisan attack over his controversial vaccine policies and sweeping changes at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Lawmakers from both parties grilled Kennedy on his decision to limit COVID-19 vaccine access for healthy individuals under 65, the abrupt firing of CDC Director Susan Monarez after just one month in the role, and the appointment of vaccine skeptics to key advisory positions.

Democrats accused Kennedy of breaking promises made during his confirmation hearings, with Sen. Elizabeth Warren calling for his resignation, while Republicans like Sen. Bill Cassidy expressed alarm that his policies were “denying people vaccines”. Kennedy defended his actions as necessary reforms to restore public trust, accusing senators of misrepresenting his record and alleging that major medical organizations have been corrupted by pharmaceutical influence.

The hearing, intended to review President Trump’s 2026 health care agenda, instead became a heated political and scientific battleground — underscoring the deep divisions over vaccine policy and the future direction of U.S. public health leadership.
