Amid a surge in Canadian nationalism after President Donald Trump sparked an escalating trade war with Canada, the Canadian entertainment industry has seen increased support for local content.

“It’s always been cool to watch Canadian films at the multiplex, but now with the developing situation in the U.S., it’s become imperative. If ever there was a time to embrace our Canadian stories and support our domestic film industry, it’s now,” Ashleigh Rains, festival director and head programmer at the Canadian Film Fest (Cff), tells The Hollywood Reporter.

Sonya Yokota William, director of Network of Independent Canadian Exhibitors, representing indie cinemas, adds that her organization is monitoring sentiment among Canadians for a possible Hollywood movie boycott. “I think it’s all been moving very fast and we still have to see how things shake out,” William says. “Cinema operators are concerned, of course, [but] at this point I...

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau taunted the United States on Thursday night, after his country won the 4 Nations Face-Off ice hockey tournament in overtime, posting, “You can’t take our country – and you can’t take our game.” Team Canada’s Connor McDavid scored the game-winning goal to give his team the 3-2 win over the U.S. in Boston. The game was played amid heightened rivalry after President Donald Trump said Canada should become his country’s 51st state, with Trump openly calling Trudeau the “governor” of Canada. Negotiations over increasing tariffs on Canadian goods into the United States have also caused friction. The American national anthem has been regularly booed by Canadian sports fans in recent weeks. Trudeau posted a video of him celebrating the overtime win, hugging friends in a bar while wearing a Canada jersey. (Credit: Justin Trudeau via Storyful)

If we had to guess, you’re likely singing “We Are the Champions” in your head (or out loud) because your team just won the ‘4 Nations Face-Off.’ After a tense head-to-head match (that went into overtime) between the United States and Canada during Thursday night’s final, Team Canada emerged victorious, proving that they are the world’s greatest hockey team.

This was the first best-on-best tournament in nearly ten years. The competition, which began with four countries — the United States, Canada, Sweden, and Finland — competing in a round-robin format,...

Before the puck drop at the inaugural 4 Nations Face-Off championship game in Boston, multiple fights had already broken out between Team USA and Team Canada fans in the lead up over the weekend. On Thursday, the night of the final, tensions were high as singer Chantal Kreviazuk took to the ice to sing Canada’s national anthem, “O Canada.”

Perceptive listeners tuning into the game may have picked up on Kreviazuk’s key change to the lyrics. At the beginning of the anthem, instead of singing, “True patriot love, in all of us command,...

Has Nikki Glaser singlehandedly revived the comedy roast?

Fresh off her star turn ripping a new one for NFL great Tom Brady on last month’s Netflix extravaganza, Glaser took to the ESPYs last night to lay waste to this year’s nominees for Best Male Athlete.

While the comedian might seem like an unusual choice as an ESPN presenter, Glaser has “actually been a huge fan of sports ever since I first watched Taylor Swift watch a football game.”

Here are Glaser’s five funniest kicks in the jockstrap from yesterday’s live broadcast…

1 Mahomes Is a Nepo Baby?

Watching Swift watch the Chiefs “changed my life because now I know who Patrick Mahomes is. Before I only knew him as the guy in the State Farm ads. And based on his acting, I just assumed he was the CEO’s son.”

2 Scottie Scheffler the Afterthought

“The nominees include...

The Complete List Of 2024 Espys Winners:

Best Athlete, Men’s Sports: Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs

The ESPN-fronted awards ceremony will be broadcast on ABC and stream on the ESPN app.

ESPN’s YouTube and Facebook pages along with the ESPN app will livestream the red carpet arrivals beginning at 7 p.m. Et/4 p.m. Pt. Christine Williamson, Harry Lyles Jr. and Cam Newton will lead that coverage.

The ESPYs annually gathers sports and entertainment A-listers to commemorate the past year in sports, recognizing major athletic achievements, the best moments and top performers.

It’s been years in the making, and today the Los Angeles Lakers chose 19-year-old Bronny James with pick No. 55 in the NBA draft.

The selection will unite the teen with his father, all-time great LeBron James, on the Lakers roster, the first-ever father-son duo in the league’s history to play at the same time, much less on the same team. The move creates not only a compelling box office draw but fulfills a stated dream of the elder James: to play with his son in the NBA.

After winning multiple titles, Mvp awards and being selected as an All Star every season in his 20-year career, the 39-year-old superstar had said repeatedly that the one thing left he wanted in basketball was to play on the same NBA team with his son. The elder James has softened that stance somewhat in recent months, indicating that playing against his...

The end of June is a somewhat odd time of year. Technically summer just started, but for most in the United States summer weather has been an established fact for several weeks, and with the Fourth of July just around the corner it’s already nearly time to start thinking about such dreaded phrases as “back to school” and “election season.”

On the streaming front, however, times are fantastic. New seasons of “The Boys” and “House of the Dragon” are in full swing, and one of the most well-received shows in recent memory is coming back with new episodes this very week!
