Sinclair McKnight Stevens            Origin/Culture/Country: American

Sinclair McKnight Stevens: is a Canadian lawyer, businessman and former parliamentarian. He was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons in the 1972 federal election as a Progressive Conservative Member of Parliament, defeating Liberal incumbent cabinet minister John Roberts in the riding of York-Simcoe. He won again in the elections of 1972, 1974, 1979, 1980 and 1984. Stevens ran as a candidate in the 1976 Progressive Conservative leadership convention. At the time, he had only three years parliamentary experience, but five of the other candidates had also entered parliament in 1972. He finished seventh (of eleven candidates) on the first ballot, and withdrew in favour of the eventual victor Joe Clark. This was seen as a surprising move, since Stevens was considered right-wing while Clark, a moderate, was on the party's left wing. Mulroney would "think about Steven's dramatic walk for years to come, never pretending to understand it" In 2007, following Tracy Parsons's resignation as leader of the Progressive Canadian Party, Stevens became that party's interim leader.
