There have been wstories in The Herald praising the “noble victim,” Al Harper, the poor millionaire owner of the railroad. Although there is no official statement on the cause of the 416 Fire, I know citizens who do not doubt the cause.
Meanwhile, there are ordinary, citizens who have borne a huge price as a consequence of the flooding in the aftermath of the 416 Fire. It would be a pleasant change if you were to cover a few of those stories; demonstrating the chaos, pain and financial impact of the fire and flooding upon victims whom you have chosen not to ennoble.
Would be refreshing to hear some of these stories.
