I agree, though the vast (vast, indeed!) majority of Canadians do not read the Globe or its investment pages.  I usually have family members who are in a refund position coming to me every year at this time and panicking about the deadline so I was just pointing out many need not stress about it today.  And you'll still get your refundable credits if you file after today, maybe in a few weeks or so when it suits you.  I'm all about rules, it's why I pointed this out.
