Man pleads guilty to setting wildfires
A man has pleaded guilty to setting 14 forest fires which developed into wildfires last summer. Brian Paré was doing this while posting to Facebook that the fires were being deliberately set by the government. Not directly a Montreal story, but we were affected by the smoke here, along with other parts of the continent.

What a disgusting human being. There needs to be much harsher sentences given to people that start forest fires.

Any fires. I’m always appalled at the nonchalance of guys who firebomb businesses where people are sleeping in apartments upstairs.

The sentences don’t matter unless you catch them. We need to prioritize catching them. I bet they didn’t even give a second’s thought as to what the punishment would be.
