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.

U.S. Withdraws Canada’s Invite to Global Peace Council

 

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney angered the US when he openly decried powerful nations using economic integration as weapons and tariffs as leverage the World Economic Forum.


A recent decision from President Donald Trump has shifted the tone of North American diplomacy. The White House confirmed that the United States has revoked Canada’s invitation to join the newly formed Board of Peace, an international body intended to coordinate conflict‑prevention strategies and promote global stability.

According to statements from U.S. officials, the change stems from what they described as “strategic reassessments” of the board’s membership criteria. No specific concerns about Canada were publicly detailed, though the administration emphasized that the board’s structure “remains flexible” and could evolve in the future.

Canadian officials responded with measured restraint, noting that the country remains committed to international peace efforts regardless of formal membership in any single initiative. Analysts have pointed out that the move may introduce new diplomatic friction between the two long‑standing allies, though the broader implications remain uncertain.

The Board of Peace is expected to convene its inaugural session later this year, with participating nations focusing on conflict mediation, humanitarian coordination, and long‑term global security planning.
