The same Marc Jordan who did "Survival" and "I Am a Camera"? I didn't know he had hits (or hit) during the 1990s.

Out of those selected, I probably prefer the Gowan song the most.

That is the same one yes.  He had a few other 90s hits as well ...

I think I remember the Gino Vanelli one, not the other. Hey, I wonder if Worrall's song is what Valleyroads is looking for here

^ It's worth a try.  I posted it in his topic

Here's a great 90s CANCON track not through artist but songwriting:

American act The Neville Brothers recorded a cover of the Leonard Cohen classic Bird on A Wire for the 1990 film of the same name starring Mel Gibson and Goldie Hawn.  It never became a mainstream hit in the States, but it zoomed into the Canadian Top 40.  I place this in my Top 10 of best covers of Canadian songs ever!
