A Poem — “Marketplace”

 

 

The Prime Minister

wants to sell the world

Canadian resourcefulness.

 

His way of showing others

we have something

they don’t.

 

Now he discusses with his cabinet

– and the provinces –

how best to ship this unique commodity:

down south through Keystone XL,

westward through the Northern Gateway,

or to the Atlantic Provinces through the Energy East

pipeline.
