Canada’s Conservative leader has a second shot at becoming prime minister, but there are roadblocks in his way.

Canadian Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre reclaims his parliament seat in Alberta, winning over 80% of the vote.

No one should be even mildly surprised by the federal Opposition leader’s easy by-election win in Battle River-Crowfoot.

Pierre Poilievre will return to the House of Commons after a resounding victory in the Aug. 18 Battle River—Crowfoot by-election. Of the 85,736 registered voters, 50,434 cast ballots. Poilievre received 40,548 votes — or 80.4 per cent.

A look at the political challenges waiting for Poilievre on the other side of Monday's vote in Battle River—Crowfoot.

After falling short of the prime minister’s office and losing his seat in Parliament, Canada’s Conservative leader is hustling in small-town Alberta to prove he’s still a winner.

At the end of 2024 the Liberal Party had sunk in opinion polls, with the Conservatives holding a commanding 25-point lead. Four months on, the Conservatives crashed yet again to the Liberals, this time led by Mr Carney in place of Justin Trudeau.
