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.

Farewell to a Legend: Brigitte Bardot Dies at 91

                                            French actress Brigitte Bardot

Brigitte Bardot, the French screen icon whose blend of glamour, rebellion, and vulnerability reshaped post‑war cinema, has died at the age of 91. Her family and foundation confirmed that she passed away at her home in the south of France.

Bardot rose to international fame with the 1956 film And God Created Woman, a role that transformed her into a global symbol of sensuality and freedom. Over the next two decades, she appeared in nearly 50 films, working with major directors and becoming one of the defining faces of European cinema.

At the height of her fame, Bardot stepped away from acting in 1973 and devoted herself entirely to animal welfare. She founded the Brigitte Bardot Foundation in 1986, becoming one of the world’s most outspoken and influential advocates for animal rights.

Her death marks the end of an era for French culture, closing the chapter on a woman whose impact stretched far beyond the silver screen.
