    Gordon Lightfoot (Profile)

    This article was originally published in Maclean’s magazine on April 30, 2012. Partner content is not updated. Gordon Lightfoot doesn't much like his house. It's a generic monster home in the posh enclave of Toronto's Bridle Path, and barely older than his car, a 2001 Chevy Malibu, of which he speaks more fondly. ("It runs like a top. Just got a new set of brakes put on.")
