OTTAWA — The Canadian Press decision desk is projecting that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has lost in the Ottawa riding of Carleton.
Poilievre first took the seat in 2004 and won it six subsequent times.
Liberal candidate Bruce Fanjoy was leading in the riding by more than 3,700 votes with over 99 per cent of polls reporting.
Fanjoy, a political rookie, tirelessly knocked on doors in his bid to unseat Poilievre, saying the riding deserved better.
