KIOTI Tractor Opens First West Coast Warehouse Français
KIOTI's expansion into Tumwater represents a strategic investment to strengthen support for dealers and customers in the Upper Midwest, Pacific Northwest and Western Canada. The facility came online in phases beginning in May 2025—increasing KIOTI's distribution efficiency in the region. This move is part of a broader initiative to expand the company's North American footprint, building on the recent expansion and growth of its Milton, Ontario warehouse.
"As we continue to expand our presence in North America, strengthening our distribution channels remains a key strategic priority," said Ryan Kim, deputy CEO at KIOTI Tractor. "After evaluating our infrastructure, we made significant investments to enhance logistics and increase our overall capacity. The Tumwater warehouse now serves as a dedicated hub to support our western dealers and customers."
The Tumwater facility is designed to improve logistics and inventory management. With 26 dock doors and a 36 foot high-clearance interior space, the site significantly increases KIOTI's equipment and parts storage capacity. Its strategic location in Washington will streamline distribution, delivering faster fulfillment, improved service, and greater operational efficiency.
"By positioning the facility in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, we are providing our dealers with quicker access to the products and parts their customers need," said Bryan Falkner, director of product support and U.S. operations at KIOTI Tractor. "It's a critical building block in our long-term strategy to streamline and improve our service and support across North America."

Norman Rothery: Portfolio updates for dividend stocks with generous yields
The stocks in Dividend Monster portfolio are shown below and discussed in more detail over here. I'm also pleased to provide updates to my other Canadian portfolios, which follow. The portfolios are based on stock screens of differing levels of complexity that are described in detail in separate articles and compiled here. I hope to update the portfolios every two to four weeks, with allowances made for the unusual periods that life provides – and a vacation from time to time. - - - - - - - Notes: A Customary Caution Use our portfolios and stock screens as a starting point for further research. Be sure to improve your understanding of each company by studying it and its industry in more detail. Confirm the data herein before using it. The stocks mentioned herein should only be used to supplement a very broadly diversified portfolio. When buying individual stocks, only invest what you can lose without consternation. Watch your step with stocks that trade infrequently, and those with low share prices, because they may be difficult to buy or sell in a cost-effective manner. Before dashing off to the market, recognize the built-in limitations of quantitative methods such as ours. For instance, less tangible factors such as the quality of a company's management can sometimes help – or hinder – a business. And while we hope our portfolios achieve similar returns to those in the back-tests, the market isn't that predictable. Even in the best circumstances, we expect results to be bumpy and some individual stocks will disappoint. We would be pleased indeed for the portfolios to outperform the market over the course of a few decades. Norman Rothery, PhD, CFA, is the founder of Be smart with your money.

CIRB Declares Flight Attendant Strike at Air Canada Unlawful and Orders CUPE Leaders to Direct Flight Attendants Back to Work Français
Board orders union and its officers to immediately cease all activities that declare or authorize an unlawful strike Individual flight attendants directed to resume their duties CUPE leadership told to publicly call halt to unlawful activity MONTREAL, Aug. 18, 2025 /CNW/ - Air Canada today said the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) has declared ongoing strike activity by the company's 10,000 flight attendants is illegal and has ordered the leadership of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) to direct its members to return to work. Following a hearing on August 17, the CIRB declared that CUPE's strike is unlawful. It ordered the union leadership, which authorized the strike, to immediately tell its members to end the work stoppage. It also directed individual members of the union to cease all unlawful activities and return to work. In its ruling the board declared: The union and its officers are ordered to immediately cease all activities that declare or authorize an unlawful strike of its members and to direct the members of the bargaining unit to resume the performance of their duties; The members of the union's bargaining unit are directed to resume the performance of their duties immediately and to refrain from engaging in unlawful strike activities; The union and its officers shall provide written public notice, either through its website or other means, to all members by 12:00 pm EDT on August 18, 2025, that it has revoked its declaration or authorization of strike activities and that all members are required to resume the performance of their duties. Air Canada's intended restart of Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge, which have been grounded since August 16 by CUPE's labour disruption, was prevented on August 17 by the CUPE leadership's unlawful strike activities. The airline now estimates 500,000 customers' flights have been cancelled as a result. Air Canada regrets this impact on its customers and is fully committed to returning to service as soon as possible.
