Description:Rod McQueen, Canada's bestselling chronicler of the rich and the famous, now turns his investigative powers and wit to the story of Canada's wealthiest and most powerful business woman, Marth Billes.When her father, the legendary A.J. Billes ran Canadian Tire, women were not allowed anywhere near the corridors of power. Martha's two brothers were appointed to the board of directors in the 1960s, but she was ignored until 1980. In the mid-1980s, a frustrated Martha launched an intricate plan to buy her brothers out, a dream that was finally fulfilled in 1987. Today she is reigning queen of Canada's best-shopped retailer, a macho paradise of autoparts and lube jobs with $5 billion in annual sales.Besides detailing behind-the-scenes family struggles on Billes's way to the top, Can't Buy Me Love also tracks her controversial personal relationships, including a court battle with Paul McAteer, her former lover and business partner.
