Euphemism for deceit, or going on the run. In reference to the John Darwin disappearance case, who was presumed drowned after his canoe was found washed up on the NE coast of England in 2002, and whose fraud was exposed by a smiling photograph of him and his wife in a Panamanian real estate agency in 2007. His wife had collected £250000 on John's life insurance policy.
'Have you seen Chris lately?' 'No but I heard the the cops were looking for him, so maybe he bought a canoe'
'Sharon is worried that Dave is cheating on her with Ronnie, do you know anything?' 'Well, I'm not saying he's bought a canoe but i have seen them together'

Taken from Orson Welles' "Moral Indebtedness" column in the October 1943 Issue of Free World.
The use of this phrase, in the context that Mr Welles does, shows an understanding of the idea that many of the results that we hope to be so are not necessarily conducive with, or inherent within our approaches. That a single, extravagant gesture can not denote ownership or credit.
That, which is of real worth, must be earnt through genuine and unwavering efforts of love and determination.

"The extension of this moral argument insists that no man owns anything outright—since he owns it rent free. A wedding never bought a wife. And the devotion of his child is no man’s for the mere begetting."
