Canyon has lost his bid to represent Central Nova, a historic Tory seat and one the Conservatives were hoping to steal back from Liberal incumbent Sean Fraser.The party is also running relatively high-profile candidates in the Cape Breton area, but early results suggest those races are still competitive.
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer had visited Nova Scotia earlier this week, and had also travelled through New Brunswick. There, the party has recaptured several ridings they'd held before the Liberals swept every seat in Atlantic Canada in 2015.This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 21, 2019.Local conservative candidate George Canyon, right, looks on as Conservative leader Andrew Scheer, centre, shakes hands with Peter MacKay during a campaign stop in Little Harbour, N.S. Thursday October 17, 2019.
That hat dude jfc
We're getting really loose with the definition of 'star'
You can't come from away and win in Nova Scotia.
Don’t see many cowboy hats in Nova Scotia...
Glad he didn't get in.He was only a pawn because of his popularity as a Country Singer and the Conservatives thought that would help. They didn't realize how deep Sean Fraser's roots are in Antigonish.
