Excuse me, I'm a bit confused about something related to taxes and cryptocurrencies in Canada. Could you possibly explain to me if it's possible to claim losses on cryptocurrencies for tax purposes? I've heard rumors that there might be some sort of tax relief for investors who have incurred losses in the crypto market, but I'm not quite sure how it works or if it's even true. Could you clarify this matter for me? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
