Country music star George Canyon to run for Tories in Nova Scotia | CBC News
One of Nova Scotia’s best-known country music stars is walking on to the political stage.
George
Canyon has announced he’s running as a Conservative candidate in the
riding of Central Nova in the upcoming federal election.
His
name was added to the Tory roster after existing candidate Roger MacKay
dropped out this week, for what he said were “personal reasons.”
This
is not the first time Canyon has shown an interest in federal politics.
In 2014, he threw his hat into the ring to run for the Conservatives in
Alberta’s Bow River riding but withdrew due to a “health scare.”
