B.C. asks PM Carney to keep softwood on radar as tariff deadline looms
B.C. Premier David Eby says the federal government cannot forget about the fate of British Columbia's softwood lumber industry as the deadline for a trade deal between the United States and Canada is hours away. Aug. 1 is the deadline the United States has set for a trade deal with Canada, and Eby says he hopes his province's softwood lumber industry remains on the 'radar' of Prime Minister Mark Carney as Ottawa continues negotiations. 1:59 No word on Canada-U.S. trade deal progress, as Trump's deadline nears Eby told an unrelated news conference that the industry has been the 'canary in the coal mine' signalling American protectionism, saying Canadian softwood exports have been subject to 'unfair duties' for the 'better part of almost two generations,' well before the current trade dispute triggered by U.S. President Donald Trump. Story continues below advertisement But Eby says the dispute's long-standing nature does not mean the industry 'should be ignored,' and resolving it could actually help broker a larger deal.

While other industries such as Ontario's automobile sector are important, Eby says the prolonged length of the softwood lumber dispute and pre-existing duties should not lead to the assumption that the industry is not a 'priority.'

Petition for referendum to ensure Alberta remains in Canada approved by Elections Alberta
A petition asking people if they believe Alberta should remain in Canada is now rolling out across the province. Chief Electoral Officer Gordon McClure said in a news release Wednesday that Albertans can now begin signing the petition for the Alberta Forever Canada citizen initiative. The petition asks: Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada? Thomas Lukaszuk, a former Progressive Conservative deputy premier in Alberta, submitted the petition in June and has made it clear that this initiative is an attempt to foil any plans for Alberta separatism. The Elections Alberta website said Albertans who are eligible to vote can use citizen initiative petitions to have a policy proposal introduced in the legislative assembly or to have a constitutional referendum conducted. However, the signature threshold for Lukaszuk's petition will be higher than any other future citizen initiative petition in the province. Since Lukaszuk's petition was submitted before the signature threshold for citizen-initiated referendums to get to ballots was lowered to 177,000 in early July, his petition will need to collect around 294,000 signatures from eligible voters over a 90-day period. The increased figure represents 10 per cent of the total number of all eligible voters, based on figures from the 2023 provincial election. For the petition, only original physical signatures will be considered valid, and a registered canvasser must witness each signature and swear an affidavit stating to the best of their knowledge the individual who signed was eligible to do so. Lukaszuk's application states that he wanted the petition because he believes the majority of Albertans are loyal Canadians opposed to any form of separation. Separation will threaten the Canadian as well as the Alberta economy, the personal wealth of [Albertans], the Canadian citizen rights of Alberta residents, the treaty rights of our First Nations, and have many other serious and negative consequences, Lukaszuk said on his petition application to Election Alberta. A competing pro-separation referendum question is currently before the courts to review its constitutionality. The proposed referendum question, submitted by Alberta resident Mitch Sylvestre, seeks a yes or no answer to the following: Do you agree that the Province of Alberta shall become a sovereign country and cease to be a province in Canada? Sylvestre, who submitted the question, is an executive with the Alberta Prosperity Project, a non-profit group that has been touring the province promoting independence. If approved, this referendum would have 120 days to collect the necessary number of signatures under the new provincial rules.

Visit: THE LAWSUIT: A class action securities lawsuit was filed against Rocket Pharmaceuticals, Inc. that seeks to recover losses of shareholders who were adversely affected by alleged securities fraud between September 17, 2024 and May 26, 2025. CASE DETAILS: According to the complaint, defendants provided overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of RP-A501's safety and clinical trial protocol; notably, that Rocket knew Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), including death of participants enrolled in the study, were a risk. In particular, Rocket amended the trial's protocol to introduce a novel immunomodulatory agent to the pretreatment regimen without providing this critical update to shareholders. Such statements absent these material facts caused Plaintiff and other shareholders to purchase Rocket's securities at artificially inflated prices. On May 27, 2025, Rocket announced that the FDA placed a clinical hold on the RP-A501 Phase 2 pivotal study after at least one patient suffered a Serious Adverse Event (SAE), ultimately, death, while enrolled in the study following a substantive amendment to the protocol that the Company failed to disclose to investors at the time management made the revision. In fact, Rocket stated that, while the patient was dosed in May, the decision to amend the protocol was made "several months" earlier. Despite this, Rocket made no attempt to alert investors or the public to the change until after the SAE occurred. Following this news, the price of Rocket's common stock declined dramatically. From a closing market price of $6.27 per share on May 23, 2025, Rocket's stock price fell to $2.33 per share on May 27, 2025, a decline of about 37% in the span of just a single trading day.
