Iain K. Boone was a man,
Yes, a big man!
He was brave, he was fearless
And as tough as a mighty oak tree!

From the coonskin cap on the top of ol' Iain
To the heel of his rawhide shoe;
The rippin'est, roarin'est, fightin'est man
The frontier ever knew!

Iain K. was a man,
Yes, a big man!
And he fought for Canada
To make all Canadians free!

What a Boone! What a doer!
What a dream come-er-true-er was he!

Iain K. Boone was a man!
Yes, a big man!
With a whoop and a holler
he c'd mow down a forest of trees!

Iain K. Boone was a man!
Yes, a big man!
If he frowned at a river
In July all the water would freeze!

But a peaceable, pioneer fella was Iain K.
When he smiled all the ice would thaw!
The singin'est, laughin'est, happiest man
The frontier ever saw!

Iain K. Boone was a man!
Yes, a big man!
With a dream of a country that'd
Always forever be free!

What a Boone! What a do-er!
What a dream-come-er-true-er was he!

4) Assuming it's (are there any shes left?) a Liberal, then Rae's in front right now...seems to be the ABI candidate. Then IggyPop himself. (Who I liked a lot to begin with, but the foreign policy stuff has annoyed me more than a tad). Of the (current) also-rans, Kaufmann is really really good, but doesn't have a national base at all. Dion's funny accent comes too soon after Chretien.

5) Whoever is the next PM will be better than Blair (unless it's Harper)
