NTT DATA and Palo Alto Networks Announce Global Strategic Alliance

NTT DATA and Palo Alto Networks have announced a multi-year strategic alliance aimed at helping organizations securely adopt AI, modernize cybersecurity, and build cyber resilience for the AI era. The announcement was made in Tokyo, London, and Santa Clara, California, according to a press release carried by the Financial Post.

The alliance is described as 'first-of-its-kind,' combining AI-powered security innovation with enterprise-scale consulting and managed services. Backed by co-innovation, shared engineering, coordinated global delivery, and more than 2,000 Palo Alto Networks-certified professionals, the partnership is designed to help organizations navigate Frontier AI with integrated governance, threat intelligence, and cybersecurity expertise.

Real Brokerage and RE/MAX Holdings Merger Progress

In a separate development, The Real Brokerage Inc. and RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. announced the preliminary results of elections made by RE/MAX stockholders regarding the form of merger consideration to be received in connection with Real's proposed acquisition of RE/MAX Holdings. The announcement was reported by the National Post.

The companies' Arrangement Agreement and Plan of Merger is dated April 26, 2026, and was amended on June 12, 2026. Completion of the proposed acquisition is expected to take place on August 24, 2026, subject to specified closing conditions, including obtaining the final order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia approving the arrangement aspects of the proposed transactions.

Additional Corporate Announcements

Several other companies made announcements covered by the National Post:

The More Life Company Corp. announced that its common shares will continue to be quoted on the OTCID under the new trading symbol TMLCF, effective at the opening of trading on August 21, 2026.

KAST launched KAST Reserve, allowing customers to earn 6 to 12% rewards on USD balances from a spending account, capped at an aggregate of $100 million, moving to 4 to 8% from January 2027.

CUPE Rally at Villa Marconi

The National Post also reported that CUPE held a solidarity rally outside Villa Marconi long-term care facility, citing a laundry pile-up due to negligent policy making by management. In June, members of CUPE 4793 held an information picket outside the facility to call out callous layoffs in the laundry and environmental services department.

Since the June information picket, the union says management at Villa Marconi has cut hours for union workers and begun a campaign of retaliation and harassment against union members. The claims are based on statements from CUPE as reported by the National Post.

What was claimed, and who backed it

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
