A Road Taken - My Life at the Helm of CN Rail and Other Pursuits (Hardcover)

"When I first came on board at CN," David McLean says, "I was told the rumor on Bay Street was that there was this guy from Vancouver who didn't know anything about capital markets. Well, I knew how to make money and how to lose it and I knew the difference. I also knew what a turnip truck was and the last time I checked, I hadn't fallen off one." Told with humour and insight, David McLean recounts his life in Canadian business. From practicing law and various entrepreneurial pursuits including real estate investment, the film business, and aviation charters, to 20 years as Chairman of the Board at CN Rail after overseeing the privatization of the venerable Crown corporation at the largest-to-date Canadian IPO.
