Since federal legalization, the Canadian cannabis market has evolved significantly, with consumer demand shifting toward convenience-led formats. All-In-Ones (AIOs) now make up nearly 50% of vape sales in Ontario, the country’s largest market. Known as a defining market leader in cannabis tech innovation, PAX is making a focused play in this high-growth category, expanding provincial reach while upholding its premium positioning.

“Canada is a key global market, and with the rise of All-In-Ones, this was the right time to bring TRIP to dispensary shelves,” said Chris Ahern, CEO of PAX. “Our return reflects a more focused, scalable strategy — paired with the premium experience PAX is known for.”

PAX’s MJBowl award-winning TRIP All-in-One Live Rosin with Diamonds line is a solventless, terpene-forward standout, packaged in the first rechargeable, plastic-negative disposable vape. Live Rosin, preferred by purists, is made from cannabis flower frozen at peak harvest and fresh-pressed to preserve natural cannabinoids. Enhanced with liquid diamonds, the formulation delivers full flower flavor and high potency in a ready-to-use, high-performance device.

“From the outset of our partnership, it was clear that PAX shares our commitment to quality and operational rigor,” said Greg Boone, CEO at Cannapiece, PAX’s Canadian co-manufacturing partner. “Within the first week of shipping, PAX quickly became one of our top-performing AIO SKUs, reflecting both strong demand and a product built to scale.”

“We still get customers asking for PAX pods to this day — the brand has real, lasting recognition, especially with international visitors. PAX has always performed well for us, and we’re excited to see it back in a new, convenient all-in-one format. Sign us up,” said Sean Kady, Co-founder and Director at Cosmic Charlies, an independent dispensary in Toronto.

The initial launch includes two indica strains, Blueberry OG and Northern Lights, and is now available in Ontario, via OCS Flow-Through, and in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, for CA$50 MSRP. PAX TRIP is made with ocean-bound recycled plastic and is Certified Plastic Negative, meaning that for any plastic used, PAX funds the removal of twice as much plastic from nature through its partnership with rePurpose Global.

Thomas Pritzker will retire as the executive chairman of Hyatt Hotels after details of his affiliation with Jeffrey Epstein were revealed in documents related to the burgeoning investigation of ties the notorious sex trafficker had to the elite and powerful.

Pritzker, in a prepared statement, said he deeply regrets his association with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, a long time associate of Epstein.

“I exercised terrible judgment in maintaining contact with them, and there is no excuse for failing to distance myself sooner,” Pritzker said in a statement. "I condemn the actions and the harm caused by Epstein and Maxwell and I feel deep sorrow for the pain they inflicted on their victims.”

Some emails between Pritzker and Epstein are included in a cache of Epstein-related documents recently released by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Epstein died by suicide while incarcerated in 2019 after he was charged with sex trafficking.

Pritzker served as executive chairman of Hyatt for more than 20 years. His retirement is effective immediately.

Pritzker, 75, also will not stand for reelection to Hyatt's board at its annual shareholders meeting.

The news of Pritzker's retirement as executive chairman of Hyatt comes days after Dubai announced a new chairman for logistics company DP World, replacing the outgoing head who was named in the Epstein documents.

The announcement by the government’s Dubai Media Office did not specifically name Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem. However, it said that Essa Kazim was named DP World’s chairman and Yuvraj Narayan was named group CEO. Those were positions held by bin Sulayem.
