I hadn't paid attention to the comment section prior to reading your reply. I feel like I would have been better off not knowing what's written in there.

I saw from this link that NP had a story on that too. It was basically "did leftist eco-terrorists set the fires? No, but Maxime Bernier tweeted that it's totally something they would do".
