Getting ready to file your return?
Maybe there are some items that are not worth claiming.
The federal revenue agency can now hand the police possible evidence of serious crime — including terrorist activity —
that it happens to come across while reviewing taxpayer files.
The Canada Revenue Agency gained the little-noticed new authority, which does not require a judicial warrant, through an amendment
tucked into the government's most recent omnibus budget bill.
The list of offences is disturbingly broad and amounts to a fundamental change in allowing the agency to hand information to police
without a court-ordered warrant
— even when the alleged crimes have nothing to do with taxes, said Toronto lawyer Glen Jennings.
Jennings said the new provisions could create a "chilling effect" that undermines the willingness of people to file tax returns
if the revenue agency is seen as not just a tax collector, but also as a criminal investigator.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) has sounded the alarm about five incoming tax hikes in 2023.
Tax hikes will include a carbon tax increase, an alcohol escalator tax, hikes to Employment Insurance and more, according to the report New Year’s Tax Changes.
“Tax hikes will give Canadians a hangover in the new year,” said CTF federal director Franco Terrazzano.
“Canadians can’t afford gas or groceries and the government is making things worse by hiking taxes.”

If it was 2 weeks from now I'd say this was an April Fool's joke. I was just notified that I will be getting an income tax REFUND for the first time in a long time. I guess this is what happens when your income drops 40% half way through the year.

All your tax slips are available online with the CRA, you don't have to wait for them to show up.

You don't know how much you donated? I get an emailed receipt right after I make the donation.

I don’t get rsp or charitable slips until end of feb or even March.

^Well you should get an email receipt right away, you don't have to wait until you get a physical slip to file your taxes. I just e-mail my accountant an amount for charitable and political donations and medical costs. She has access to my CRA account, so I don't physically give her anything.

TLDR; we should all assume we have the same circumstances as LJ and submit our taxes on March 1.

There ARE places that don't give you a receipt right away, and there are accountants that don't want to file without the actual receipts in hand. There are also amounts that may not be accurate without the correct receipt (which was the case for me here, I did not have the correct number until I got the actual receipt).
Your circumstances are not going to be the same as others.
