The remarkable campaign was upended by a backlash against Donald Trump, which sparked a stunning liberal resurgence.
Canada’s conservative leader lost his own seat in Monday’s election to cap off a stunning electoral meltdown that saw the Liberal Party rise from the polling doldrums to secure victory.
Pierre Poilievre, who faced off against Mark Carney and the incumbent center-left Liberals, lost his seat in rural Ottawa to Liberal candidate Bruce Fanjoy, national broadcaster CBC reported.
Poilievre first won the seat in 2004 and held it for two decades. Despite the massive swing against him in Carleton, he signaled to supporters Tuesday morning that he would stay on as leader of the Conservatives — though at that point CBC had not yet projected his defeat.
I hope that works out well. Coalitions, cooperation seems best.
Best for Canada, but typically fall apart after about a year. We’ll be at the polls again in 2026, and that’s really not enough time to teach the tiktok generation about caring for others and why hate is bad.
Talking down to them and playing the generational differences card isn’t going to help at all. Plenty of old fucks, mid life fucks, and young fucks that need education in this not JUST the youngest of voters.
