McGill University political science professor Daniel Beland said that Poilievre can remain the Conservative leader without a seat, but if he decides to stay, he would need to run in another district, possibly by asking a Conservative member of Parliament from a safe district to resign.
Still, losing your seat when some within your own party think you’re the main reason for the party’s failure is a clear issue for Poilievre, Beland said.
Moreover, not having the leader of the official opposition in the House of Commons when Parliament sits again would obviously be a problem for the Conservatives.
Even as Canadians mourned a deadly weekend attack at a Vancouver street festival, Trump was trolling them on election day, asserting that he was on their ballot and erroneously claiming that the US subsidises Canada. It makes no sense unless Canada is a State! he wrote.
Trump’s truculence has infuriated Canadians, leading many to cancel US vacations, refuse to buy American goods, and possibly even to vote early. A record 7.3 million Canadians cast ballots before election day.
Reid Warren, a Toronto resident, said he voted Liberal because Poilievre sounds like mini-Trump to him. He said Trump’s tariffs are a worry.
