Maple Leaf Bloody Gos When last we checked in with Blade Runner 2049, Ryan Gosling was shilling at CinemaCon. Today, we have a snippet of footage teasing the first trailer premiere in three days.

Maple Leaf Drake gets it together That’s the general consensus. More Life was supposed to drop in December. Then it was January. After Views, the overrated, undeserving Album of the Year nominee that came out less than a year ago, I wanted to be "meh" about More Life. I wanted Drake to make By Kathleen • Mar 20, 2017 01:10 pm

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Catherine’s CSA gingham My favourite dress at the Canadian Screen Awards last night. Do you hate it? Specifically do you hate the red gingham collar and cuffs?
