Damien Kurek, who gave up his seat in the Alberta riding of Battle River-Crowfoot so that party leader Pierre Poilievre could run in a byelection, says he intends to be back on the ballot during the next general election.

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.

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

One thing is for sure: with Pierre Poilievre officially back in the political ring, things in Ottawa aren’t likely to be boring.

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

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.
