Who is Jim Fannon?
Jim Fannon, is a Canadian politician, radio talk show host, entrepreneur, and real estate agent in St. Catharines. He campaigned for the leadership of the Green Party of Canada in 2006.
Fannon is a veteran real estate sales representative with RE/MAX in the St. Catharines area and is the founder of Nature’s Hemp, a local business selling hemp-related food products. He is a former member of the Preservation of Agricultural Land Society, the Sierra Club of Canada, Fair Vote Canada and the Council of Canadians.
He has campaigned for both the Green Party of Canada and the Green Party of Ontario. After the 2003 provincial election, he commented that the majority government won by the Liberals would be better for Ontario than a Progressive Conservative victory. He was quoted as saying, "We've been under Tory rule for eight years and its been painful. The sick, the dying, the elderly and children have felt it the most".
Fannon finished a distant third against David Chernushenko and the winner, former Sierra Club of Canada executive director Elizabeth May. At the convention, Fannon gave an entertaining speech to the assembled members, and pledged to continue his work within the party after the election, regardless of the outcome.
