Vanessa Crone and Paul Poirier obtained their first national senior ice dance title at the Canadian figure skating championship on Sunday.The winning duo reached a total score of one hundred and sixty four .21 with a performance to The Beatles “Eleanor Rigby”.  In the tight competition, Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje from Waterloo, Ontario came in second, with one hundred and sixty three .18 points. 

There’s a strong backlash to Conservative MP Maxime Bernier’s recent language comments. In an offhand remark to a Halifax radio station Bernier questioned Bill 101 as restricting people’s linguistic freedom and choice.

Amongst the fury of responses Liberal MP Denis Coderre charged that Bernier’s arguments make Sarah Palin look like an intellectual. The online culture was less than polite in their response, resorting to name-calling. Most of the supportive responses came -not surprisingly - from English Canada.

The Green Bay Packers became Super Bowl champions Sunday night. NFL player Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdown passes. And Nick Collins returned an interception for another score. All leading the Packers to a 31- 25 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. This was Green Bay's fourth Super Bowl title.
