Canada’s conservative leader Pierre Poilievre loses his own seat in election collapse (www.politico.eu)

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.

And the bastard is not even quitting. He said he’ll still be the PC’s leader.

he is a weasel.... he gave his speech early to be able to make false claims of stopping the NDP from forming coalition with the Liberals (which they did not) and that he would stay as leader which is extremely unlikely without a seat... specially about all the badgering of Carney for being an "unelected PM"...

PP, you are worse than unelected, the people you have worked for for the last 20 years do not want anything to do with you

I hope you’re right about this, but hypocrisy has never stopped conservatives before

I was watching his speech live on CBC and the seat counts were on the bottom of the screen. I shit you not, maybe 10-30 seconds after he said this bit about denying the coalition, the seats flipped over so the coalition was possible. It went back quickly after and then back to coalition possible. I laughed very hard.

I can't find a video where the reported polls are included like on the live broadcast though. It makes me sad because it was priceless. I believe the seats were 164/165 Liberal and 7 NDP.
