George Canyon is an Alberta country music singer who was brought into the riding in Nova Scotia to run for the CPC but was defeated by Liberal Sean Fraser.
All in all Canyon’s mother took the news rather well and maintained her support for her son before he took to the stage to give a speech.
“My hopes were that George would win because of the person he is, the honest truthful voice of Pictou county Central Nova and I was hoping he would win for that.”
