So, the answers to question one:

1. Born 30 April 1959 - aged 50. Stephen Harper.
2. Born 9 June 1954 - aged 55. Elizabeth May.
3. Born 18 July 1950 - aged 59. Jack Layton.
4. Born 12 May 1947 - aged 62. Michael Ignatieff.
5. Born 22 July 1947 - aged 62. Gilles Duceppe.

Interesting that all five are, broadly speaking, the same generation. Aged between 50 and 62 counts as actually a relatively young bunch in the plutocratic world of politics. Also interesting is that the Prime Minister is (by a fair bit) the youngest of the bunch. For a man who's already been PM for a few years now, 50 is remarkably young. No points for picking Ignatieff as a boomer, though Duceppe doesn't seem a typical boomer.

Moving on then, to a perhaps simpler question: what are their middle names?

1. Evans.
2. Gilbert.
3. Grant.
4. Joseph.
5. none (as far as I can tell).
