In Montreal, the cost of dining can be misleading due to added sales tax and mandatory tips. A classic breakfast advertised at 13.95 CAD can end up costing over 18 CAD. Tipping is customary, with suggested rates of 15%, 18%, or 20% based on service satisfaction.
Quebec's minimum wage for tipped positions is lower than for other jobs, reflecting the expectation that tips will supplement income. This system contrasts with practices in France, where tips are discretionary based on service quality.

Le Monde: US steel, aluminum tariff hikes to take effect Wednesday
President Trump has announced a doubling of tariffs on imported steel and aluminum from 25% to 50%, effective Wednesday. This decision aims to counteract foreign competition that undermines U.S. industries and addresses national security concerns related to these imports.
The move is likely to escalate tensions with key trading partners, including the European Union, which has warned of potential retaliation. Ongoing negotiations regarding trade agreements may be affected as the U.S. seeks to balance its tariffs while addressing industry competitiveness.
