Updates

  • 2026-10-17 · Edited before publication: The source does not say 'pulp'. The source is thin and the idling temporary with no capacity figure, so materiality lowered to 2. 'Why it matters' repeated the summary.
  • 2026-10-17 · Edited before publication: The source says 'government action', not provincial government. 'No restart date given' cannot be supported from a very short source.
