Stinson attended public school at Minden, Ontario, then secondary school at Lindsay Collegiate Institute. He proceeded to the University of Toronto and Osgoode Hall Law School. He became a director of the Victoria Trust and Savings Company at Lindsay. From 1913 to 1921 he served as crown attorney for Victoria-Haliburton and was made King's Counsel in 1921. At one time, he was the solicitor for Victoria County, Haliburton County and the town of Lindsay.[1]

He was first elected to Parliament to represent the Victoria, Ontario riding in the 1925 general election, after an unsuccessful campaign there in 1921. Stinson was re-elected there in the 1926 and 1930 elections, but was defeated by Bruce McNevin of the Liberal party in the 1935 election.
