Tech & Retail Signals: Costco plans new warehouse openings (including in Canada), while Apple’s AirPods 5 pricing is published for Canada ahead of store availability. Business & Manufacturing Moves: Ron Anderson & Sons in B.C. is expanding with provincial support, and rare-earth recycler Cyclic Materials has opened a major U.S. facility—both framed as resilience amid trade friction.
