The other was told the six-week pathway wasn’t expected to launch until summer — it is now June.

At the time I'm writing this comment, it is approximately an hour BEFORE the start of summer

Who's Hacking CRA Accounts? in c/canada@lemmy.ca

[–] Carload834@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

CBC's The Fifth Estate is an investigative team, and the TV series has been running for almost 50 years. They have a lot of experience, as well as the drive to uncover news stories like this.

I don't know about the bank or H&R block (which, that local office, IMO, seems sus), but the CRA and police don't have the funding to do long term individual investigations like this, unfortunately. The article speaks about a CRA team that was investigating fraud over several years, but then was stopped

edit to add: I saw an earlier post linking a Fifth Estate story about how the CRA was going after whistleblowers (CRA employees who talked to CBC about tax refund fraud)... so, maybe the CRA isn't as innocent as I thought
