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.

Carney Treads Carefully on Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ as Ottawa Rejects $1‑Billion Fee

                                      Carney leaves door open to paying fee to join Trump’s Gaza 'Board of Peace'

Prime Minister Mark Carney is approaching U.S. President Donald Trump’s invitation to join a proposed “Board of Peace” with measured caution, signalling that Canada is open to participating but not without clearer details on how the body would function.

Carney has emphasized that Canada supports efforts aimed at stabilizing Gaza, yet he wants assurances about governance, accountability, and how any financial contributions would be used. He noted that Canada’s involvement must align with its long‑standing humanitarian principles and deliver tangible benefits to civilians on the ground.

Foreign Affairs Minister François‑Philippe Champagne has taken a firmer line, ruling out the idea of paying a $1‑billion membership fee reportedly tied to participation. Champagne stressed that Canada will not commit to such a sum without transparency and a clear demonstration of impact.

The contrasting tones from Carney and Champagne reflect a broader international hesitation surrounding the initiative, which has raised questions about cost, oversight, and geopolitical implications. For now, Canada remains engaged in discussions — but on its own terms.
