Altagas sale
I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss that sale as the reason. Or something connected to the sale. Keep in mind, it wasn't just R. Colcleugh who was fired, but the CFO also, Newmarch.
Something happenned after the dividend cut and announcement of NCIB. The only other possible big ticket item was the block sale. Maybe Birch Hill wanted to hang on to the Altagas position for half a year and the execs made a decision on their own.
The idea that someone with greater operating experience was brought in, in preference over Colcleugh''s skill set, doesn't hold water. If that were the case, the decision would have been taken in November, prior to Colcleugh dropping the interim label. I have to believe you would pay substantially less severance to fire an interim CEO than a CEO. I also don't think you would fire the CFO over a slow ramp up to the HDRD plant.
Whatever we might speculate, the company owes its shareholders an explanation. As I said before, OWN THE PROBLEM.

R. Colcleugh is still on the board of TWM, as far as I know ... at least for now.
