Lumberman of the Year

While various fans and critics of the proposed softwood lumber deal with the U.S. continue to dog it out, one industry group has seen fit to honour David Emerson as “Lumberman of the Year” at their annual roast, despite him having left the lumber business years ago.

No doubt an image consultant or spin doctor thought it would be a good idea to boost Emerson’s image.

The people of Emerson’s riding have another idea. A twin-roast will take place just outside the industry’s celebrations at the haughty Vancouver Club. June 8th – plan to be there!
