Retraction

Almost exactly a year ago, this corner pointed to this Telegram story, and highlighted the following passage, under the headline "Sick sense of humour":

"If I wasn't committed to this job, I'd love to be in your business right now," he said.

"Instead of making money, I'm just turning grey and trying to stay away from getting sick because I'll have to face the doctors and the nurses if I end up going to hospital," he said, to a loud round of applause.

Nurses in this province will begin voting on whether or not to strike Feb. 9.

In hindsight, this statement shows not a sick sense of humour, but rather an almost supernatural prescience.

Labradore regrets the error.
