The PMO has announced that Paul Martin will be naming the next Governor General tomorrow. I’ve started a pool of candidates (both good and bad) and I need your help adding to them. Please add your candidates for Governor General in the comments and evaluate the odds that I (and/or others in the comments) have placed on their candidacy. I’ll add the best good/bad/funny suggestions below.

Bob Rae – 10:1

Preston Manning 25:1

David Frum – 300:1

Ezra Levant – 450:1

Lise Thibault – 5:1

Monique Begin – 5:1

Naomi Klein – 100:1

Wayne Gretzky – 50:1

David Suzuki – 20:1

John Manley – 10:1

Peter Mansbridge – 20:1

John Ralston Saul – 100:1

Warren Kinsella – 32,146,547:1

Carolyn Parrish – 32,000:1

Dave Nichol – 560:1

William Shatner – 7,000:1

Brian Mulroney – 200:1

Ralph Klein – 300:1

Ken Dryden – 12:1

Celine Dion – 150:1

Personally, I’d give Shatner better odds.
