World financial leaders were meeting in a Canadian Arctic town, and residents welcomed them by building two igloos.

Canada's Finance Minister Jim Flaherty crawled in to have a look. Flaherty accidentally destroyed the entrance of an igloo on his way out.

The builders said not to worry — fixing an igloo is easier than fixing the world economy.
