US President Donald Trump has said he will follow through with his threat to hit imports from Canada and Mexico with 25% border taxes, known as tariffs, on 1 February.
But he added that a decision about whether this would include oil from those countries had not yet been made.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said the move was aimed to address the large amounts of undocumented migrants and the fentanyl that come across US borders as well as trade deficits with its neighbours.
“With China, I’m also thinking about something because they’re sending fentanyl into our country, and because of that, they’re causing us hundreds of thousands of deaths,” Trump said.
“So China is going to end up paying a tariff also for that, and we’re in the process of doing that.”
During the election campaign, Trump threatened to hit Chinese-made products with tariffs of up to 60%, but held off on any immediate action on his first day back in the White House, instead ordering his administration to study the issue.
US goods imports from China have flattened since 2018, a statistic that economists have attributed in part to a series of escalating tariffs that Trump imposed during his first term.
Earlier this month, a top Chinese official warned against protectionism as Trump’s return to the presidency renews the threat of a trade war between the world’s two biggest economies – but did not mention the US by name.
Addressing the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Ding Xuexiang, Vice Premier of China, said his country was looking for a “win-win” solution to trade tensions and wanted to expand its imports.
Canada and Mexico have said that they would respond to US tariffs with measures of their own, while also seeking to assure Washington that they were taking action to address concerns about their US borders.
If US imports of oil from Canada and Mexico are hit with levies it risks undermining Trump’s promise to bring down the cost of living.
Tariffs are an import tax on goods that are produced abroad.
In theory, taxing items coming into a country means people are less likely to buy them as they become more expensive.
The intention is that they buy cheaper local products instead – boosting a country’s economy.
But the cost of tariffs on imported energy could be passed on to businesses and consumers, which may increase the prices of everything from petrol to groceries.
Around 40% of the crude that runs through US oil refineries is imported, and the vast majority of it comes from Canada.
In a shocking turn of events, President Trump announced today that Canada and Mexico will be hit with 25% tariffs starting this Saturday. This decision comes amidst ongoing trade disputes between the United States and its neighboring countries.
The tariffs, which will affect a wide range of products including steel, aluminum, and agricultural goods, are expected to have a significant impact on the economies of both Canada and Mexico. Many are concerned about the potential repercussions of this move, including rising prices for consumers and strained diplomatic relations.
President Trump has been vocal about his desire to renegotiate trade deals with both countries, and these tariffs are seen as a way to pressure them into making concessions. It remains to be seen how Canada and Mexico will respond to this latest development, but one thing is certain – the trade war between the United States and its neighbors is far from over. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.

The Red Wings practiced at Little Caesars Arena’s BELFOR Training Center on Wednesday morning before departing for Edmonton. Patrick Kane (upper body) and Vladimir Tarasenko (illness) both participated, but J.T. Compher (upper body) and Jeff Petry (undisclosed) did not.
Per McLellan, he doesn’t expect Kane to play on Thursday but expects Tarasenko to return to the lineup. Compher will travel with the team on this road trip, while Petry will not.
Tied with the Vegas Golden Knights for first in the Western Conference’s Pacific Division at 67 points apiece, the Oilers most recently defeated the Kraken, 4-2, on Monday.
Captain Connor McDavid, who scored a goal in his return from a three-game suspension on Monday, leads the defending Western Conference champions in assists (45) and is second in goals (21) and points (66) behind Leon Draisaitl (35-40—75) this season. In 33 games, netminder Stuart Skinner has a 19-11-3 record with a 2.69 goals-against average and a pair of shutouts.
“I had the luxury of coaching them,” McLellan said about McDavid and Draisaitl. “The two of them are elite separately and super elite together. They play a completely different game. One is fast, one slows it down with passing and vision.”
Seider said the best way to defend against Edmonton’s star power is to do so as a five-man unit.
“Really focusing on keeping them to the outside, eliminating chances from the inner slot and try to eliminate extended D-zone shifts,” Seider said. “I think the more we have the puck, the better we’ll be and the more offense we’ll play.”
The Detroit Red Wings are set to kick off the Western Canada leg of their four-game road trip as they face off against the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night. After a tough loss to the Vancouver Canucks, the Red Wings will be looking to bounce back and secure a much-needed win.
Edmonton has been playing well as of late, with star players Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl leading the way. The Red Wings will need to bring their A-game if they hope to come out on top against this tough opponent.
Stay tuned for updates and highlights from the game as the Red Wings look to make a statement in Edmonton. Let’s go Red Wings! #LGRW #DetroitRedWings #NHL #EdmontonOilers #WesternCanadaTrip

WASHINGTON (AP) — Having already forced Colombia to accept deportees by threatening a 25% tariff, President Donald Trump is readying the same move against Canada and Mexico as soon as Saturday.
But this time, the stakes are higher and many economists surveying the possible damage doubt Trump would be comfortable with what they say would be self-inflicted wounds from the tariffs.
“The potential for such sizable economic impacts ought to act as enough of a deterrent that Trump will not end up implementing these higher tariffs,” said Matthew Martin, senior U.S. economist at the consultancy Oxford Economics.
Trump has repeatedly insisted that tariffs are coming on Canada and Mexico, despite both countries seeking to address his stated concerns about illegal border crossings and the smuggling of fentanyl. But the Republican president is also motivated by the idea that tariffs would force other countries to “respect” the United States.
“We’re going to immediately install massive tariffs,” Trump said in a Monday speech, adding, “Colombia is traditionally a very, very strong-willed country,” but it backed down rather than face import taxes.
Tariffs are a risk, but the Trump White House says it’s looking at the big picture
Multiple economic analyses show that universal tariffs against Canada and Mexico risk more inflation and an economic slowdown. It’s a much larger play than Trump’s moves against Colombia, which accounts for roughly 0.5% of U.S. imports. By contrast, nearly 30% of all U.S. imports hail from Canada and Mexico, amplifying the risk that tariffs could fuel inflation and undermine Trump’s campaign promises to get prices under control.
Trump’s director of the White House National Economic Council, Kevin Hassett, dismissed these concerns. He said the skeptical analyses of tariffs don’t look at the totality of Trump’s promises.
“When the people who are trying to cause panic over President Trump’s trade policy simulate what it’s going to do, they don’t account for all the other policies,” Hassett said in a Monday interview on the Fox Business Network. “So President Trump is drill, baby, drill, and deregulate and tax cuts and reduce spending.”
Mexico and Canada are ready to respond
After Trump’s initial threat of 25% tariffs in November, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum suggested Mexico could retaliate with tariffs of its own. Since then, she has been more measured, choosing to emphasize the strong bilateral relationship and willingness to engage in dialogue as the number of detentions at the U.S.-Mexico border has plunged.
Sheinbaum pointed out in November that drugs were a U.S. problem, but in December the Mexican military seized more than a ton of fentanyl pills in two raids, calling it the biggest catch of synthetic opioids in Mexico’s history.
On Monday, Sheinbaum applauded the agreement reached by the Trump administration and Colombia.
“I believe the important thing, as I said on the first day, is to always act with a cool head, defending each country’s sovereignty and the respect among nations and peoples,” she said.
Top Canadian ministers said last week that Canada was prepared to retaliate if Trump imposed import taxes, even as Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly said they “will continue to work on preventing tariffs.” The working theory in Canada appears to involve being ready for anything that the U.S. president might do.
Tariffs could slow the economy and hurt the oil and auto sectors
On Monday, the economics division of the insurance company Nationwide estimated that Trump’s proposed tariffs on Canada and Mexico would increase inflation by as much as 0.5 percentage points and pull down growth by 0.7 percentage points.
The analysis noted it did not “account for potential retaliatory tariffs from Canada or Mexico, which could amplify the deleterious impact on inflation and GDP growth.”
Trump has made lower gasoline prices one of his key strategies for tackling inflation, but tariffs on Canada could drive up prices at the pump unless Trump creates carveouts in his plan.
“For example, 60% of oil and gas imports come from Canada,” said Oxford Economics’ Martin. “A 25% tariff would lead to higher gasoline, diesel, and petroleum product prices for households and firms, especially in the Midwest and Rocky Mountain regions, where refineries are connected to Canada by pipeline.”
The tax services firm PwC looked at the possible impact of 25% tariffs and found that companies importing from Canada could have to pay $106 billion more annually in import taxes and those importing from Mexico could owe $131 billion more.
“When we think about hardest-hit industries, we think about transportation and automotive,” said Chris Desmond, a principal at PwC’s international trade practice. “The amount of companies that have operations in Mexico and Canada in that industry with components and parts as well, including even airplanes, that’s going to be a huge hit.”
Desmond estimates that taxes paid on imports in the transportation sector from all of Trump’s tariff plans, which include new taxes on China and other countries, could increase from $4 billion a year to $68 billion. It’s unclear how companies would absorb those costs or possibly pass them along to consumers.
None of those analyses is at the forefront of Trump’s public thoughts. His argument is that tariffs would make the U.S. wealthy by sheltering it from competition and safer because they could be tools to force other countries to reduce illegal immigration.
“Tariffs, I told you, most beautiful word in the dictionary,” Trump said Monday as he recalled his campaign speeches praising the import taxes. He reminisced in that speech how he was criticized for praising the term, prompting him to conclude that tariff is, in fact, the fourth most beautiful word after “God, love, religion.”
President Trump’s recent threat to impose tariffs on Colombian goods seems to have achieved its intended effect, with Colombia agreeing to take measures to combat drug trafficking. However, his plans to impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico could carry much higher stakes for the United States.
The threat of tariffs on Colombian goods was used as leverage to push the country to crack down on the production and trafficking of illegal drugs. This tactic seems to have worked, as Colombia has now pledged to take stronger actions to combat drug trafficking.
On the other hand, Trump’s plans to impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico could have far-reaching consequences. The United States has strong economic ties with both countries, and imposing tariffs could lead to retaliatory measures that could harm American businesses and consumers.
Additionally, Canada and Mexico are key allies in trade negotiations and security issues. By imposing tariffs on these countries, Trump could jeopardize ongoing efforts to renegotiate NAFTA and address other important issues.
Overall, while Trump’s tariff threat may have worked in the case of Colombia, his plans for Canada and Mexico carry much higher stakes and could have serious implications for the United States’ economy and international relationships.
Ticketmaster Canada customers impacted by recent class-action litigation may soon receive electronic gift cards valued at approximately $45 each. This payout is part of a significant $6 million settlement approved by the Saskatchewan Court of King’s Bench. The class-action lawsuit was initiated by Crystal Watch against Ticketmaster, Ticketmaster Canada, and parent company Live Nation Entertainment Inc., following revelations of undisclosed non-optional fees added during ticket purchases—a practice commonly referred to as “drip pricing.”
Watch and her legal team argued this tactic violated the Consumer Protection and Business Practices Act, alleging Ticketmaster misled consumers by failing to display final costs until later stages of the checkout process. Despite denying any allegations of wrongdoing, Ticketmaster agreed to the settlement, which has now gained judicial approval. According to CBC, Watch is slated to receive $25,000 as part of the settlement, which capped the fees for legal counsel at $1.725 million.
Justice Graeme Mitchell noted, “While this case does not involve a mega-settlement, it has proved to be a legitimate consumer protection lawsuit which could only have been viably prosecuted as a class action.” He emphasized the importance of compensatory measures for affected consumers, with estimates indicating up to 100,000 individuals within Saskatchewan, and potentially over 1 million across Canada, could qualify for credits.
Eligibility for the payout is restricted to individuals who purchased tickets between January 1, 2018, and June 30, 2018—a narrow window which the courts determined necessary for the class. Eligible customers will receive their credits through electronic gift cards, which are transferable, but cannot exceed $45. The credits can be used for primary sale tickets, parking, VIP packages, and select merchandise on the Ticketmaster website or mobile app, but they are not usable for Major League Baseball tickets or resale tickets.
To facilitate access, Ticketmaster will notify eligible users via email with detailed instructions on how to redeem their voucher. Those who do not receive this notification should contact the firm led by Regina lawyer Tony Merchant, which represented the plaintiffs, for guidance. Although the claims window has yet to open, customers are advised to stay vigilant as more information becomes available.
While the settlement addresses specific grievances, it points to broader concerns involving Ticketmaster’s pricing practices. This is not the first time the company has faced scrutiny over misleading pricing. Back in 2019, the Competition Bureau of Canada imposed a $4 million fine on Ticketmaster over similar accusations, determining its advertised prices were misleading due to mandatory fees added late in the purchasing process. Commissioner Matthew Boswell stated, “Canadians should be able to trust the prices advertised are the ones they will pay when purchasing tickets online.”
The recent settlement also highlights the issue of drip pricing—a tactic where the initial price appears attractive until additional fees inflate the final cost. Consumers have increasingly voiced frustration over such hidden costs, encouraging regulators to seek transparency from ticket vendors. The need for greater clarity has not gone unnoticed, with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission recently adopting new regulations, effective May 2025, mandatorily requiring clearer fee disclosures.
Supporters of the class action assert it serves as another step toward holding Ticketmaster accountable to consumers. The concluding analysis of the case positions the settlement not only as financial compensation for ticket purchasers but as part of the larger narrative advocating for consumer rights and fair practices within the ticketing industry.
Once the distribution process is completed, any remaining funds from the settlement will be rerouted to organizations chosen by Ticketmaster and the plaintiff, with final approval from the courts. A debt of vigilance remains for consumers who have had negative experiences with ticket pricing practices and who deserve straightforward interactions with ticket vendors.
Great news for Canadian consumers! Ticketmaster Canada has reached a class-action settlement that could mean money back in your pocket.
If you purchased tickets through Ticketmaster Canada between October 21, 1999, and June 27, 2013, you may be eligible to receive a refund of up to $45 per transaction. The settlement stems from a lawsuit alleging that Ticketmaster charged excessive fees on ticket sales during that time period.
To claim your refund, simply visit the settlement website and submit a claim form. The deadline to file a claim is [insert deadline date], so be sure to act fast.
This is a great opportunity for consumers to recoup some of the money they may have overpaid for tickets in the past. Don’t miss out on this chance to get some cash back from Ticketmaster Canada.
“I’m not really a Hollywood guy,” Green said. “I started to feel like I wasn’t being true to my authentic self.”
Glenn Humplik, his costar on The Tom Green Show, noted how important this idea was to the comedian, telling the outlet in a phone interview that the actor and comedian was often “reserved” and “serious” and “analytical about every single comedy bit and thing that he does.”
This side of Green will be on display in his documentary, which documents his rise to fame and his adventures living on a 150-acre farm in a remote area of Ontario alongside chickens, a mule, a donkey and other animals.
“People are probably going to be surprised that I’m not, like, completely crazy,” Green said of his depiction in his new documentary, adding that people will be able to see the things that he holds dear to his heart.
“There’s a sort of a wholesome heartwarming thing to this — that I have a close relationship with my family, that I love animals, that I enjoy doing a lot of things that a great many people in the world enjoy doing, like getting out into the woods,” he explained.

Part of his farm life includes spending time with his new fiancée Amanda Nelson, a fellow Ontario native whom Green reconnected with after he moved back to the country. He proposed to her in December.
Despite retreating back to a more quiet rural livelihood, the comedian is still busy. He is also embarking on a U.S. tour to perform standup comedy and music from his new country album, Home to the Country.

However, he still enjoys his time away from the big cities and technologies, noting that in 50 or 100 years “cities may no longer be as relevant.”
“People may start to realize that there’s a lot of space. We’re all connected now electronically, so we don’t need to be all sitting on top of each other,” he told The New York Times, adding that he plans to travel to more secluded desert areas in Texas, New Mexico and other parts of the U.S. in the future.
This Is the Tom Green Documentary is streaming on Prime Video.
After two decades of living in Los Angeles, comedian and actor Tom Green has found peace in his native country of Canada. Green, best known for his outrageous and unconventional humor, recently announced his decision to leave L.A. behind and return to his roots in Ottawa.
In a recent interview, Green explained that he was drawn back to Canada by a desire for a slower pace of life and a deeper connection to nature. He cited the beautiful landscapes and friendly people of Ottawa as major factors in his decision to make the move.
Green also expressed a sense of relief at leaving behind the hustle and bustle of Hollywood, where he felt he was constantly on the go and under pressure to keep up with the fast-paced lifestyle.
Now settled in Ottawa, Green is focusing on reconnecting with his family and friends, as well as pursuing new creative projects. While he may be far from the bright lights of L.A., Green seems content in his new surroundings and is looking forward to the next chapter in his life.
Fans of Tom Green can rest assured that he hasn’t retired from the entertainment industry altogether – he’s simply chosen to take a step back and reevaluate his priorities. And who knows, maybe his newfound peace and inspiration in Canada will lead to even more hilarious and memorable performances in the future.

U.S. Sen. Peter Welch, D-Vermont, speaks about how the effects trade tariffs proposed by President Trump might affect local businesses during a roundtable in St. Albans on Monday, January 27, 2025. Photo by Glenn Russell/VTDigger
ST. ALBANS — Poulin Grain, an animal feed manufacturer with two plants in northern Vermont, relies on crops imported from Canada, such as corn and oats, to make its products. But the company’s costs would grow substantially — and, perhaps, unsustainably — if President Donald Trump’s proposed 25% tariff on products from Canada goes into effect, Poulin’s senior vice president, Mike Tetreault, said Monday.
The company could start to source some raw materials domestically, Tetreault said, but the materials would cost more, and those costs would be passed on to customers.
“We haven’t got the margins to offset that. The sellers don’t have the margins to offset that. So essentially, the farms and users of our grain products and feed products are going to pay more,” Tetreault said, speaking at a roundtable on Trump’s proposal in St. Albans Monday morning convened by U.S. Sen. Peter Welch, D-Vt.
“There’s no other option,” he added.
Tetreault was one of several leaders of Vermont businesses, along with representatives from trade groups as well as state officials, who voiced concerns to Welch about the impacts the tariffs could have on the costs of local goods and services.
Trump has threatened to impose a 25% tax on goods coming into the U.S. from Canada and Mexico as early as Feb. 1. Right now, both countries have a free-trade agreement with the U.S. by which most goods traded among the three nations don’t have tariffs.
The president told reporters last week that his proposal was a response to Canada and Mexico allowing “mass numbers of people to come in and fentanyl to come in.” While it’s not clear exactly how the tariffs would be implemented, experts generally agree they could disrupt many U.S. industries and raise prices on many goods for consumers.
“The amount of disruption that is going to happen through each of your enterprises is immense,” Welch told the panel, which also included a contract manufacturer in Morrisville and a maple sugaring equipment maker in Swanton, among others.
Rock Gaulin, who leads the maple division for H2O Innovation, said tariffs could protect the company’s U.S.-based operations in the short term, but would ultimately lead to higher prices for the sugarmakers who buy its evaporators and other equipment.
Welch said he was committed to making a case against Trump’s proposed tariffs in Washington D.C. in the coming weeks, including during hearings he expects the Senate Finance Committee, which he sits on, will convene on the issue.
Several speakers said Vermont could feel disproportionate impacts from the proposed tariffs because Canada is, by far, the landlocked state’s largest international trading partner. Like Poulin Grain, many Vermont companies are “so heavily reliant” on cross-border imports of raw materials, noted Amy Spear, president of the Vermont Chamber of Commerce.
Tariffs aimed at Canada could also raise Vermonters’ energy bills, Welch noted, pointing to how the state gets about a quarter of its electricity from Canada’s Hydro-Quebec.

Mari McClure, the president and CEO of Green Mountain Power — Vermont’s largest electric company — estimated that Trump’s proposed tariff on goods from Canada could result in an additional $16 million per year in power costs, which she said would, with limited exception, go “directly to ratepayers.”
Still, McClure and other speakers noted that it’s impossible to say with certainty what the impact would be because details of Trump’s proposals haven’t been clear — nor is it clear that the tariffs would even take effect on Feb. 1.
That’s made it difficult for businesses to prepare in recent weeks, some said. Sarah Mearhoff, advocacy and communications director for the trade association representing Vermont’s construction industry, pointed to how some contractors could, for instance, spend money now to stockpile timber — only to later realize that it was unnecessary.
“At one point they thought they would have tariffs on day one — and now it’s saying Feb. 1,” said state Treasurer Mike Pieciak, referring to the first day of Trump’s presidency. “I think there’s a question mark for businesses as to, will they ever come? Is this real — or is this not real?”
Disclosure: Sarah Mearhoff reported for VTDigger from October 2021 until December 2024.
Vermont business leaders are speaking out against President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on imports from Canada. The tariffs, which are aimed at protecting American industries from what the administration deems unfair competition, have sparked backlash from businesses in the Green Mountain State.
According to Vermont business leaders, the proposed tariffs would have a detrimental impact on the state’s economy, particularly on industries that rely heavily on imports from Canada. These industries include manufacturing, agriculture, and tourism, all of which play a significant role in Vermont’s economy.
One business leader, who wished to remain anonymous, stated, “These tariffs would not only increase costs for businesses in Vermont, but they would also likely lead to retaliatory measures from Canada, further escalating tensions between our two countries. This is the last thing we need as we work to rebuild our economy in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Other business leaders echoed these sentiments, expressing concerns about the potential for job losses, decreased competitiveness, and overall economic instability if the tariffs were to be implemented.
As discussions continue between the U.S. and Canada regarding trade policy, Vermont business leaders are urging the Trump administration to reconsider its approach and seek alternative solutions that would not harm businesses in the state. They are also calling on Vermont’s congressional delegation to advocate for the interests of the state’s businesses and push for a more thoughtful and strategic approach to trade policy.
In the meantime, Vermont business leaders are bracing for the potential impact of the proposed tariffs, while remaining hopeful that a resolution can be reached that will benefit all parties involved.

Well, the price of eggs isn’t so high everywhere.
Kate_sept2004 / Getty Images
Canadians are sharing the prices of their eggs, and they’re dramatically cheaper:
As this person on Reddit explained, that’s about $2.75 USD a dozen.
FWIW, that checks out on the Walmart Canada website, where the price is the same.
Across social media, Canadians are sharing pics of their eggs.
This person from Montreal shared some eggs that are $2.62 a dozen.
Another person shared some eggs that are about $2.75 a dozen.
A 2023 article from Global News explained that Canada hasn’t been hit as hard by egg price spikes because of its supply management system, which regulates production, imports, and prices to ensure stability.

Canadian farms are smaller and more geographically spread out, which can reduce the risk of widespread issues like bird flu.

According to Global News, “The average egg farm in Canada has about 25,000 laying hens. In contrast, the average farm in the U.S. has about two million birds.”

Ultimately, I’m not gonna lie, I was genuinely surprised by the prices in my grocery store the other day.
As this person joked, “Americans soon gotta start driving to Canada for eggs.”
In recent years, Canadians have been shocked by the rising cost of eggs compared to their neighbors to the south in the United States. With prices soaring to nearly double what Americans are paying, many Canadians are left wondering why they are shelling out so much for a basic staple.
The average price for a dozen eggs in Canada is currently around $3.50, while in the US, the same dozen can be found for as low as $1.00. This stark price difference has left many consumers feeling frustrated and perplexed.
Some speculate that the higher cost of eggs in Canada can be attributed to stricter regulations and higher production costs, such as feed, labor, and transportation. Others believe it may be due to a lack of competition in the Canadian egg market, leading to inflated prices.
Regardless of the reasons behind the price disparity, one thing is clear: Canadians are feeling the pinch when it comes to purchasing eggs. Many are now looking for alternative sources or opting for egg substitutes in their cooking and baking.
As the debate over egg prices continues, Canadians are left hoping for some relief at the grocery store checkout. Until then, they will have to make do with paying a premium for their breakfast staple.

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol tells FOX Business why the company enhanced its parental leave benefit.
Starbucks customers in the U.S. and Canada will notice some changes when they visit the coffee chain’s locations on Monday.
Condiment bars will return to Starbucks locations, according to the Seattle-based company. At the condiment bars, customers will have the ability to “add the finishing touches to [their] beverage with the return of creamer and milk, along with a variety of sweeteners,” Starbucks said.
The company also said baristas at locations in the U.S. and Canada will put “any” drinks ordered “for here” in coffee mugs, glasses or customers’ “clean personal cup brought from home” beginning Monday.

Dine-in customers will now be allowed free refills of hot brewed or iced coffee, or hot or iced tea during the same visit to the store, according to the company. Cold brew, nitro cold brew, iced tea lemonade, flavored iced tea or refreshers are not eligible for free refills.
The chain has put an updated “Coffeehouse Code of Conduct” into effect as well.
“Our Coffeehouse Code of Conduct is something most retailers have and is designed to provide clarity that our spaces – including our cafes, patios and restrooms – are for use by customers and partners,” the company said.
The code of conduct also prohibits discrimination, violence, consumption of outside alcohol, smoking, drug use and panhandling, among other things, at its locations.

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol said in late October that the chain would re-implement the in-store condiment bars and start using mugs for people drinking their beverages in-store.
At the time, he also detailed other changes the company was looking to make, including to “cut down our overly complex menu to align with our core identity as a coffee house company,” to “take steps to better separate mobile order pickup from the cafe experience” and to bring back the practice of baristas using Sharpie markers.

In early November, Starbucks ditched the fee it charges to customers who substitute non-dairy milk in drinks at company-owned and operated locations in the U.S. and Canada.
“It is clear we need to fundamentally change our strategy to win back customers and return to growth. Back to Starbucks is that fundamental change,” Niccol said in October. “We have to get back to what has always set Starbucks apart, a welcoming coffee house where people gather and where we serve the finest coffee, handcrafted by our skilled baristas.”

Blink Twice (Zoë Kravitz)
Over a close-up of a turtle, ominous sound design builds at such a deep frequency that the walls of a press-screening room in Beverly Hills began rattling. Once the shaking stopped and it’s realized this was not the third Los Angeles earthquake in as many weeks, the setup of Zoë Kravitz’s directorial debut Blink Twice is doled out in impressively economical fashion: Rent is due for Frida (Naomie Ackie) and Jess (Alia Shawkat). Rather than pay up and keep the wheels spinning in their going-nowhere-fast lives, Frida has a plan: retrieving a hidden wad of bills, she purchases gowns so she and Jess can crash a fancy gala after their waitress shifts end. Looking suitably glamorous, the two ignore a security guard’s insistence they stay away from tech billionaire Slater King (Channing Tatum) and his entourage. A meet-cute between Frida and Slater ensues––the entire setup straight out of a Disney (or Disney Channel) movie. – Caleb H. (full review)
An early effort by the Iranian master during his time at Kanoon (The Institute of Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults), which he credits with helping him become an artist. The absorbing rhythm and visual genius of The Colors anticipates Kiarostami’s later films, although he thought of it in simpler terms: “I made this film for children, and they were indeed very entertained by it.”
As AI continues to pervade every industry, there are also wide-ranging personal implications that society only seems to be currently scratching the surface of. Hans Block and Moritz Riesewieck’s documentary Eternal You, which premiered at Sundance Film Festival last year, explores the AI technology that is providing immortality, at least in a digital sense, as users resurrect virtual reality avatars of their deceased loved ones in the pursuit of emotional healing.
After making a splash with his influencer satire Sweat, Swedish director Magnus von Horn returned to Cannes with the black-and-white drama The Girl with the Needle. Savina Petkova said of Denmark’s Oscar entry in her Cannes review, “Teaming with co-writer Line Langebek, van Horn takes a true story and weaves many obstacles, encounters, and disappointments to make sure we see Karoline as a multifaceted character, even if she barely speaks. It’s not that she’s deliberately quiet or scheming in any way; her reticence to talk instead confirms a lack of faith in life as it is. Girl‘s period setting––1919 in a post-WWI Copenhagen––may be a century removed from our times, but its atmosphere weighs on you just as today’s world might. With old wars supposedly ending and new ones brewing, home evictions, poverty, and lack of abortion rights, Scandinavia in the 1920s can terrifyingly mirror many parts of Europe in the 2020s. The Anthropocene looms over The Girl with the Needle, which is the best thing a period piece can hope for: a knowing, truthful look at the past from the vantage of our present.”
Most men think about the Roman Empire several times a week, if a recent meme is to be believed. With Gladiator II, Ridley Scott brings the era back to life in the way only a teenage boy could imagine it. Historical accuracy continues to be an irrelevance for the director, and who could blame him? Why stick to the facts when it’s so much more fun to have your little freak of an action hero battle hordes of CGI monkeys or partake in a naval battle in the flooded Colosseum? If this decades-in-the-making sequel feels better than the original, it’s because there are no prestige aspirations here––Scott follows the formula of the first to a tee, turning up the dial so each set piece is bigger and stupider than before. There’s no commentary on the senseless nature of the violence being spectated, as there was with the first; if Scott were to pause the film after Lucius (Paul Mescal) bites off a monkey’s arm in battle to once again ask “are you not entertained,” it would likely register as sincere rather than scathing. – Alistair R.

The cinema of Paul Schrader has always felt like a confessional, all those dark rooms and troubled men, the registered Swiftie’s own tortured poets department. The confessional edges closer to the form in his latest film Oh, Canada, an august adaptation of Russell Banks’ 2021 novel Foregone that tells of a famous documentary filmmaker at the end of his days, divulging secrets of his past to an interviewer’s head-on camera. Might the old Calvinist be looking for a little more absolution? When Banks, a friend since the director’s adaptation of Affliction, died in 2023, Schrader was coming to the tail end of his own series of health scares––these included everything from hospitalizations for long COVID to the retina detaching from his right eye during the filming of Master Gardener. “If I’m going to make a film about death,” he recently admitted thinking to himself at the time, “I’d better hurry up.” – Rory O.

With imagery quite literally conjured from the deepest bowels of darkness, it’s clear why Nosferatu has been on the mind of Robert Eggers since he saw F. W. Murnau’s silent classic at the impressionable age of nine. The director’s fourth feature is his most assured and accomplished, an impeccably crafted, knowingly humorous, and perhaps too-rigid odyssey into the depths of true evil where one can feel Eggers’ obsessions flow through every nocturnal frame. While The Northman was evidence he could work in a bigger playing field, his latest is the ideal marriage of focused, character-driven frights of his first two features and the imaginative world of his Viking epic where no detail was left unconsidered. As Nosferatu relates to the vampire tales that have come before, from Murnau to Herzog to Coppola, the experience isn’t seeing how the director reinvents the wheel, but precisely how he honors this timeless myth with an exacting, full-bodied vision in all its evocative, erotic, gory gothic horror. – Jordan R.

It was Mark Twain who said, “History doesn’t repeat itself but it often rhymes,” which is one way of approaching Belgian filmmaker and multimedia artist Johan Grimonprez’s sprawling, jazz-infused Soundtrack to a Coup d’État. The political essay revisits 1960, a turbulent year in global affairs: Patrice Lumumba rises to power in Congo just as the United States, through the CIA-backed Voice of America radio network, aims to soften America’s image aboard, sending jazz musicians Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Nina Simone, Dizzy Gillespie, Abbey Lincoln, and Max Roach to tour the world. The film positions the jazz musicians as a kind of political cabinet while Gillespie envisions his own run for the White House on TV talk shows back home. It proceeds with a rather kinetic, defiant tone in which the jazz, breaking news, citations, and quotes interrupt the historical footage a more standard documentary may have primarily focused on. – John F. (full review)
Wes Craven understood, when conceiving A Nightmare on Elm Street, the creepiness of our sacred sleep time being invaded, and Adam McKay was similarly onto something when realizing how good a sleepwalking gag could be in Step Brothers. So Sleep, a new festival-minted genre picture from Jason Yu, a former underling of Bong Joon-ho, in its own blend of horror and comedy, should be able to deliver on the promise of both. Yet if accomplished in pulling off the kind of tonal shifts and formal precision you’d expect from someone who trained under that Oscar-winning genre superstar, there’s a bit of a lack of a true pulse to the proceedings––even as the terrain of pregnancy and threats to newborn children is something that will never fail to get people going (similarly a power-drill to the head near the end of the film is probably a recurring horror image for a reason). – Ethan V. (full review)
The best studio animation of last year by quite a wide margin, The Wild Robot is an adventure as wondrous as it is heartfelt. Exploring the trials, tribulations, and joys of parenting through the story of a stray robot in the wilderness, Sanders nails the emotional throughline to create a stirring, human-free experience. While the script could have used perhaps a bit more specificity, what it lacks in originality, it makes up for in earnestness and craft, chock full of detailed environments and wonderful character design. – Jordan R.
Did Beauty kill the Beast? Or was it the other way around? Or maybe they lived happily ever after? Writer-director Caroline Lindy plays with classical expectations in her enjoyable debut feature Your Monster. Actress Laura Franco (Melissa Barrera) is just out of surgery when the film starts. We quickly learn she’s survived some unnamed cancer and, in the tough year of treatments, her theater-director boyfriend of five years Jacob (Edmund Donovan) broke up with her. To make matters worse, he also moved forward with producing a Broadway musical that they developed together, one with a lead role he’d promised to Laura. – Dan M. (full review)

With its intense and unsettling atmosphere, “The Girl with the Needle” is a must-see for fans of psychological horror.
