The bridge to nowhere: Why your ‘Target Architecture' won’t ever deliver Stop funding fictional target architecture blueprints and start funding empowered, long-lived teams.

Automatic tax filing consultation - Canada.ca

The Canada Revenue Agency is doing a public consultation on automatic tax filing (which they should have implemented …several decades ago!). Fill it out and let the CRA know that it’s a good idea! #cdnpoli #GCdigital www.canada.ca/en/revenue-a... via @lisafast.bsky.social

Has anyone successfully renewed their Canadian passport online? I’m determined to use this method (esp. since I had to pay extra for digital photos) but it seems I’ll have to try at 7am on the dot.

Where are your tax slips? Why so much information is missing from CRA accounts this year The issue is linked to a CRA systems update that has resulted in some tax-slip providers running into challenges when uploading taxpayers’ data to the government’s secure portal
