Here it is. Feast your eyes on what I'm told is the most visually stunning sci-fi movie ever made. I can't wait to see this movie, and I still think it poses the biggest threat to THE ODYSSEY's Best Picture hopes.
Final trailer for ‘DUNE: PART THREE’. In theaters on December 18.

Big Conservative win certainly signals good chunk of BC voters are comfortable with their policies but tone matters consider “just 31%..would have cast a ballot for the BC Conservatives under John Rustad and just 25% say they would have done the same (under) Kerry-Lynne Findlay”

The @bcndp gets set to pick an interim leader as early as Thursday, as it struggles to pick itself back up after Saturday's devestating election loss. The early frontrunners for the job, in my latest in @BIVnews: biv.com/news/commentary/rob-…

I asked Bradford if he'd consider provincial or federal politics now. He answered, "No, I'm a city hall guy. I'm an urban planner. I've always been interested in the city. It's my love and my passion, and it's been my life's work."

Absent from Carney’s meeting with First Nations and premiers, Quebec’s new leader today held a call with French President Macron. PSPP said he lent his support amid the unrest in France “stirred up by the far-left” and signalled a potential meeting in France in the “coming weeks.”
Aujourd’hui, lors d’un appel téléphonique, je me suis entretenu avec le président de la République française, M. Emmanuel Macron. D’emblée, je lui ai mentionné que les Québécoises et Québécois suivaient avec attention les événements récents en France. Je lui ai exprimé tout le soutien et la solidarité du gouvernement du Québec et notre condamnation des troubles fomentés par l’ultragauche. Je lui ai assuré que le peuple québécois n’avait pas de doute que la France saura trouver le chemin de la paix sociale et du dialogue respectueux, une voie de passage qui sera utile pour tout l’Occident à la lumière de la polarisation croissante dans chacune de nos démocraties. Nous avons également discuté de la relation étroite et historique entre la France et le Québec : la relation de gouvernement à gouvernement permet à nos deux États de collaborer sur une foule de sujets au bénéfice de nos peuples francophones des deux côtés de l’Atlantique. J’ai proposé à M. Macron de poursuivre le développement de relations économiques plus approfondies et de développer de nouveaux domaines de coopération, tels que la souveraineté numérique, la cybersécurité et l’intelligence artificielle. Nous avons aussi discuté du 20e Sommet de la Francophonie qui aura lieu le mois prochain à Phnom Penh, au Cambodge, et de l’élection du nouveau secrétaire général de l’Organisation internationale de la Francophonie. Finalement, nous avons convenu d’une éventuelle rencontre en France, qui aura lieu dans les prochaines semaines. Je suis très reconnaissant de cet appel, qui témoigne de la solidarité et la chimie naturelle entre nos deux nations.

SPECTRE turns 11 today. The film opens with a spectacular tracking shot through Mexico City’s Day of the Dead parade, designed to make audiences experience Bond’s mission in real time. This is how it was shot.

"I don't know." @MarkJCarney delivers a blunt response when pressed by reporters on whether Washington can be trusted to honor trade agreements after noting that America's signature "was written in pencil."
