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.

A diplomatic rift has emerged between Slovakia and Ukraine after Bratislava warned it may halt electricity exports to its eastern neighbor unless Kyiv resumes the flow of Russian oil through the Druzhba pipeline. The dispute centers on transit fees and operational conditions that Ukraine oversees as the pipeline crosses its territory.

EU officials have urged both sides to de‑escalate and seek a technical solution that avoids further strain on regional energy stability.

While no cutoff has occurred, the warning underscores how energy infrastructure remains entangled with geopolitical pressures, even as Europe continues its long-term shift away from Russian resources.
