From the department of things that don't quite cut it:

The man blamed for one of the most destructive wildfires in Canadian history says he feels intense guilt for the damage it did.
"There's no other way to feel. People lost their jobs, they lost their homes, their land was all burnt up," Mike Barre told CBC News.
Ruins of the Tolko sawmill
Barre was fined $3,000 on Nov. 29 for carelessly discarding a cigarette that started the McLure-Barriere forest fire in southwestern British Columbia in August 2003.
The fire obliterated 73 homes in Barriere and Louis Creek, north of Kamloops, and destroyed a sawmill, the region's biggest employer.
Also, does anyone else want to marry the person who names the HTML files for CBC stories? They are from time to time hilarious, i.e. "fire-guy" for this one or my personal favourite so far "harper-smaesex".
