Shannon Tobin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shannon John Tobin (born March 12, 1985) is a Canadian politician running for the Progressive Canadian Party.

Tobin was born in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador. On January 7th 2008, he announced that he is running in the riding of St. John's East as a member of the Progressive Canadian Party (PC), in the next federal election. [1] The Progressive Canadian Party was linked to Danny Williams (Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador) through a CBC News report.[2] It was implied during this report that Sinclair Stevens (the interim leader of the Progressive Canadian Party) and Williams hatched a plan to get a fourth choice on the ballot for the people in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. While this connection has been unconfirmed, Sinclair Stevens declared that they will have a full slate of candidates running in the province. So far Shannon Tobin is the only confirmed candidate.

Shannon Tobin has appeared on various local radio talk shows and has been interviewed in a number of newspapers in an attempt to promote the PC party.[3][4]
