    The Sitka chainsaw massacre review By WAYNE GRADY, The Globe and Mail
    His rationale seems to have been that if he were a villain for cutting down a single tree, how much more villainous was MacMillan Bloedel, which cut down millions? No one, however, appreciated the irony: Perhaps Hadwin's one grace is that he united loggers, First Nations, the police and environmental activists in their outrage at what he had done. Most of them wanted him punished; a few wanted him dead. Obligingly, five days before his trial, he set out to cross Hecate Strait from Prince Rupert in a kayak, during a violent storm. He hasn't been seen since.
