NDP MP Nathan Cullen has apologized for saying he feared police retribution after criticizing the RCMP. When you piss off Dudley Do Right, Dudley always gets his revenge!

But despite the negatives to the Softwood deal, it will certainly be good for anyone with a Canfor pension. We must look at the positives, after all.
