Bick's pickles disappear from some Canadian shelves amid tariff dispute
Some Canadian shoppers have noticed something missing from their local grocery store shelves - and experts say it's a case study on how tariffs can reduce choices and raise prices. Bick's pickles, the iconic brand founded in Canada in 1951, is now owned by U.S.-based TreeHouse Foods. While the cucumbers and jar lids are sourced in Canada, the pickles are processed in the U.S. before being shipped back north. Under current trade rules, that makes them subject to counter-tariffs Ottawa imposed in response to U.S. duties on Canadian goods. 'It's a bit weird because the Bick's product is actually more Canadian than some properly labelled Canadian pickles,' Sylvian Charlebois, professor of food distribution and policy at Dalhousie University, told CTV's Your Morning Tuesday. Charlebois says the policy, aimed at pressuring Washington, ends up hurting domestic competition. 'We're tariffing products that are actually grown in Canada. If you reduce supply, prices tend to go up.' Some Canadian retailers will still carry Bick's, he noted, but availability will be reduced. Alternatives like Mrs. White's pickles, made in Canada, are still on store shelves. Ian Lee, a business analyst at Carleton University, calls the situation a 'lose-lose proposition' that punishes Canadian farmers, manufacturers and consumers. 'The jar gets hit by Canadian tariffs,' Lee told CTV News Channel in an interview Monday. 'The profit margins in grocery retailing are already razor-thin, so some stories just take them off the shelf.' According to CTV News Winnipeg, a Sobeys in the city let customers know that tariffs will impact what they can stock on their shelves. In July, a sign placed in the Winnipeg store on a shelf that normally holds Bick's Pickles read, 'Bick's Pickles are currently unavailable as an unfortunate impact of tariffs. We are pleased to offer a selection of alternatives for your shopping convenience.' The tariffs were introduced as retaliation to U.S. duties introduced by U.S. President Donald Trump. But Lee says mimicking the U.S. approach does more harm than good. 'We're poking Donald Trump in the eye but we're hurting Canadians in the process,' Lee said. has reached out to TreeHouse Foods, Sobeys and Loblaw for comment.

Deadline Approaching: Lineage, Inc. (LINE) Investors Who Lost Money Urged To Contact Law Offices of Howard G. Smith
Law Offices of Howard G. Smith reminds investors of the upcoming September 30, 2025 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the case filed on behalf of investors who purchased Lineage, Inc. ('Lineage' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: LINE) common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the registration statement used in connection with the Company's July 2024 initial public offering (the 'IPO'). IF YOU ARE AN INVESTOR WHO SUFFERED A LOSS IN LINEAGE, INC. (LINE), CONTACT THE LAW OFFICES OF HOWARD G. SMITH TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ONGOING SECURITIES FRAUD LAWSUIT. Contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss your legal rights by email at howardsmith@ by telephone at (215) 638-4847 or visit our website at What Happened? In July 2024, Lineage conducted its IPO, selling over 65 million shares of common stock at $78 per share. On November 6, 2024, Lineage released its third quarter 2024 financial results, revealing that it had suffered a $543 million net loss during the quarter. On this news, Lineage's stock price fell $5.22, or 7.4%, to close at $65.79 per share on November 6, 2024, thereby injuring investors. Then, on January 14, 2025, The Wall Street Journal reported that Lineage was laying off employees due to reduced customer demand only six months after its IPO. Then, on April 7, 2025, Lineage announced the dismissal of its auditor, KPMG LLP. On this news, Lineage's stock price fell $5.29, or 9.9%, over two consecutive trading days, to close at $48.41 per share on April 8, 2025. Then, on April 30, 2025, Lineage reported first quarter 2025 financial results, including that '[t]otal revenue decreased (2.7)%' to $1.29 billion for the quarter. The Company stated it 'experienced more normal seasonal trends in the first quarter after multiple years of elevated inventory levels.' On this news, Lineage's stock price fell $8.16, or 14.62%, to close at $47.65 per share on April 30, 2025, thereby injuring investors further. On June 3, 2025, the Company stated at an Investor Conference that there has been 'pretty much flat demand' for Lineage's products and services and that the Company was operating in a 'flattish environment' in terms of demand. The price of Lineage stock has remained substantially below the IPO price at the time of this complaint's filing. What Is The Lawsuit About? The complaint filed in this class action alleges that the Registration Statement made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that Lineage was then experiencing sustained weakening in customer demand, as additional cold-storage supply had come on line, the Company's customers destocked a glut of excessive inventory built up during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Company's customers shifted to maintaining leaner cold-storage inventories on a go-forward basis in response to changed consumer trends; (2) that Lineage had implemented price increases in the lead-up to the IPO that could not be sustained in light of the weakening demand environment facing the Company; (3) that Lineage was unable to effectively counteract the adverse trends listed in the foregoing through the use of minimum storage guarantees or as a result of operational efficiencies, technological improvements, or its purported competitive advantages; (4) that, as a result of the foregoing, rather than enjoying stable revenue growth, high occupancy rates, and steady rent escalation as represented in the Registration Statement, Lineage was in fact suffering from stagnant or falling revenue, occupancy rates, and rent prices; and (5) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. If you purchased or otherwise acquired Lineage common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the IPO, you may move the Court no later than September 30, 2025 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements.
