A veteran contrarian on why free trade is failing

Spending Like There’s No Tomorrow

Why don’t Canadians save more of their resource wealth?

 

Love, the love is always

there, but you always wonder

if the life is real as the flesh

of your wife’s soft shoulder

 

as she sleeps, or if you

have slipped on her slender

hip into a dream as it rises

like the dark green hill

 

in a scurvy-ridden sailor’s

nightmare, and you wake

up sweating because

you know you are lost.

 

Daniel Goodwin is an award-winning  poet and novelist from Ottawa.
