Verdun-born hockey hero Richard Martin died Sunday. His car collided in a one-car crash in Clarence, near a suburb of Buffalo New York where he lived.

The Buffalo News has reported that Martin suffered a heart attack while driving. 

Martin was a memeber of the legendary French Connection line for the Buffalo Sabres in the nineteen seventies. He starred for the Montreal Junior Canadiens prior to joining the Buffalo squad.

Denis Villeneuve’s Incendies may not have won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language film this year, but it won virtually every award it was nominated for at last night’s Jutra awards, Quebec’s equivalent of the Oscars. 

Incendies took home nine of the 10 awards it was up for, including Best Film and Best Director. Incendies’ Melissa Desormeaux-Poulin lost the Best Actress award to her co-star, Lubna Azabal, who also won the award at last week’s Genie awards.

Une Question de Choix - a choice of question - was the theme of the protest that took place Saturday March twelfth in Montreal. Thousands of people came together to rally against the upcoming release of the Quebec Government’s budget.
