New Zealand police have confirmed that  a French-Canadian woman was killed in an earthquake that shook their country last month. The quake had struck the city of Christchurch where the woman was vacationing.

New Zealand media says the woman was holidaying in the country with her sister and had planned to fly out a day after the quake. Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada are unable to provide information on the woman due to the Privacy Act. They did however confirm the death of a Canadian citizen.

There was a small protest outside The Link's offices Monday afternoon. Witnesses say those involved were calling for the resignation of newspaper editor Justin Giovanetti.

The roots of the protest are unclear. Some say the relationship between Giovanetti and Concordia Student Union councillor Lex Gill was in question.

Members of Concordia's Hillel were also in attendance. They reportedly believed the call for his resignation was due to a recent article in which he made negative comments about member Tomer Shavit. 

A Chambly man met his death while trying to build an igloo in his backyard. Yan Lavalliere was digging when the igloo collapsed on him.

His girlfriend’s five-year-old son was there to witness the accident. Relatives who were there tried to save him.

Police say they don’t know why the igloo broke down. They say he probably died from the amount of snow that fell on him. Officers were forced to shovel a lot to dig him out.

Lavalliere’s girlfriend hopes this accident will serve as an example for others. She says it's a dangerous activity and that it's not always children who are hurt, it's adults too.
