    Canada doubled its medal count on Sunday afternoon at Skate Canada International in ice dancing, the ethereal figure skating discipline that is now one of the country’s trump cards.
    The key? Perhaps figuring out the rather new uplifting rule in ice dancing. Last season, the International Skating Union ruled that audiences should not be tortured any more with mournful, cheerless, funereal, slow music. No more bursting-into-tears or dying-on-the-ice routines for the ISU judges. Better to leave the ice with sunny faces than furrowed brows.
