Canadian Conservative Poilievre to lose seat in parliament in stunning fall
Fox News ^ | April 29, 2025 | Rachel Wolf

Canadian Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is projected to lose the parliamentary seat he has held for more than 20 years in a stunning defeat to Liberal candidate Bruce Fanjoy.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), a state-owned outlet, projected the loss on Tuesday morning following Monday’s federal election. However, Elections Canada’s decision to pause the counting of special ballots means it remains unclear whether the Liberals, led by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, will walk away with a minority or majority mandate.

Fanjoy, who is projected to take Poilievre’s seat in Parliament, worked in business and marketing and lives in a carbon-neutral house in Manotick, a suburb of Ottawa, according to CBC.

"We have to look out for ourselves, and we have to take care of each other. Let’s get to work," Fanjoy wrote in a post on X.

In his victory speech, Carney appeared to criticize the U.S. for President Donald Trump’s tariff policies, which he called a "betrayal."

"We are over the shock of the American betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons," Carney said in his victory speech. "America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country. These are not idle threats. President Trump is trying to break us so America can own us. That will never ... ever happen."

OK, you dumb Canadians. You asked for it, and you’re gonna get it: higher taxes, unemployment and Communismm

Then you’ll come begging to us. I for one won’t care.

Forget Canada becoming the 51st state. That would add 2 more left-wing Senators. No thanks.

Maybe just add the good parts - Alberta, Saskatchewan possibly.

Secularization has been near complete. But they're also looking at a rise in Euthanasia. They are currently one of the leading countries if I'm not mistaken.

“President Trump is trying to break us so America can own us.”

Da Hosers are doing a great job of ‘breaking’ themselves!

Can’t stand Canada. Is that bad? I can stomach Britain, France...

For some reason Canada (and Germany) really bother me! Something about their political cultures...

Carney was a hoot in "The Honeymooners".

Guess ol’ Frenchie should have leaned into Trump instead of being the “other” anti-Trump candidate.

Yep. They have started murdering mental patients. This will be expanded to involuntary euthanasia. “For the patient’s own good.”

I believe that the leading cause of death in Canada is euthanasia.

When you don’t stand for anything much, you don’t get much support.

Pierre Poilievre acted too much like Mitt Romney.

Canada chose to become a province of the PRC rather than succumb to evil Donald Trump.

Canada would become 9 states and 18 new senators with at least 11 being liberals, so it would be worse than you think.

“ However, Elections Canada’s decision to pause the counting of special ballots …”

Burying the lede… Think they would’ve stopped if the conservatives were in the lead? Nope. They got the vote they wanted and “paused” the count.
