Barenaked Ladies' frontman -- not the one just busted for drugs -- Ed Robertson survived a plane crash early this morning north of Bancroft, Ontario by the skin of his barenaked butt.
Sgt. Jeff Mackinnon of the Bancroft OPP told the Intelligencer, "At 12:30 PM a Cessna 206 was taking off from Baptiste Lake, lost airspeed and entered a wooded area west of the lake." Mackinnon said all four passengers, including Ed, walked out of the woods and then reported the crash.
The Intelligencer's sources say Ed was piloting his own float-plane -- the kind with pontoons -- but police won't release any details because an investigation by Canada's Transportation Safety Board is underway.

According to cops, Lady Godiva ain't the only bare-naked lady riding a white horse.
Barenaked Ladies singer Steven Page has been popped by cops in Central New York for allegedly possessing cocaine.
Cops in Manlius, NY say early last Friday morning officers saw a suspicious car with its doors open sitting outside an apartment building. While checking out the car, they observed a man and a woman inside one of the apartments sitting at a table with an "unknown white capsule" with a powdery substance in front of them. After a field test, the cops say the substance tested positive for cocaine.
The 38-year-old Page and a woman, 25-year-old Stephanie Ford, have both been charged with felony possession of a controlled substance. Ford was also charged with pot possession.
Both have been released on $10,000 bail.
A rep for the band tells TMZ "We can not comment because the matter is before the court. We are confident that our client Steven will be completely exonerated. Until that time, it is business as usual for the Barenaked Ladies."
