You want a Canadian version of This Land that isn't sappy? Here's the way we sang it when we were little kids:

This land is my land
It is not your land
I got a shotgun
And you ain't got one
If you don't get off
I'll blow your head off
This land was made for only me.

Charming, eh? And about Stomping Tom, I know there's truth in what you say, but still, it's so fun to chant "Joe Mufferaw" and hear all the names of places in the Ottawa Valley.
