| Other Income (Expense) | 18. Other Income (Expense) The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) provides an employee retention credit (“CARES Employee Retention credit”), which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes of up to $5,000 per employee for eligible employers. The tax credit is equal to 50% of qualified wages paid to employees during a quarter, capped at $10,000 of qualified wages per employee through December 31, 2020. Additional relief provisions were passed by the United States government, which extend and slightly expand the qualified wage caps on these credits through December 31, 2021. Based on these additional provisions, the tax credit is now equal to 70% of qualified wages paid to employees during a quarter, and the limit on qualified wages per employee has been increased to $10,000 of qualified wages per quarter. The Company qualifies for the tax credit under the CARES Act. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded $1,781,729 (2024 - $815,422) related to the CARES Employee Retention credit in other income on the consolidated statement of net loss and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2025. On May 25, 2023, the Company and Grown Rogue entered into a strategic agreement whereby Grown Rogue will support the Company in the optimization of its cannabis flower products. As part of this strategic agreement Grown Rogue granted the Company 8,500,000 warrants to purchase subordinate voting shares of Grown Rogue on October 5, 2023. Subsequently, on October 9, 2024, the Company and Grown Rogue mutually agreed to terminate the advisory agreement. As part of the termination agreement, the Company forfeited 4,500,000 of the previously granted 8,500,000 warrants. On December 31, 2025, these 4,000,000 warrants were revalued at a fair value of $1,684,691 (2024 - $2,270,964). The fair value was derived from a black-scholes valuation using a stock price of $0.52, an exercise price of $0.164, an expected life of 2.76 years, an annual risk free rate of 3.73%, and volatility of 100%. The change in valuation from December 31, 2025, to December 31, 2024, of $586,273 was recorded as other expense in the statement of net loss and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2024. In connection with the Settlement Agreement (Note 17), the Company received cash proceeds of $1,000,000 and real property valued at $8,172,587, which were recognized as other income during the year ended December 31, 2025.
