Igloo Collapses on Canada's Finance Minister

[kuno_thunder]

IQALUIT, Canada – Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty was felled on Saturday by a block of snow as he toured an igloo on the sidelines of G7 talks in Canada's far north.

Flaherty was unscathed when the igloo archway slab got snagged on his parka hood and fell onto his back as he exited the demonstration snow house. The bricks made of packed snow can weigh up to 20 pounds (9 kilograms).

Its Inuit builders said not to worry, that they would quickly repair the damage to the igloo that had only been erected hours earlier. Flaherty, meanwhile, laughed off the incident.

Finance ministers and central bankers from the world's seven richest nations were gathered for two days in this town just 300 kilometers (185 miles) from the Arctic Circle to discuss keeping a tentative global economic recovery on course as fresh turmoil roiled financial markets.

Damn shitty construction.  Make bigger doorways!  Reminds me of the entrance of the old SSGB set when Tiffany was still hosting.
