The leader of Canada's Conservative Party, Pierre Poilievre, lost his own seat in Parliament on Monday as the party saw a broader defeat unexpected just months ago and marked by U.S. President Donald Trump's rhetoric about annexing the country.
Poilievre had represented Carleton, his Ottawa district, since 2004. He lost it against Bruce Fanjoy, the Liberal candidate. A recognized community volunteer, Fanjoy's candidacy was seen as one with slim chances of success, but he ended up prevailing.
