US EditionMisinformation about Poilievre's election loss persists. Here are the facts
- Pierre Poilievre led the Conservative Party in the April 28, 2025 Canadian federal election but lost his own Ottawa-Carleton seat to Liberal Bruce Fanjoy.
- The party’s loss followed a decline in support after initially leading in polls four months earlier and was influenced by economic stagnation and housing affordability issues.
- Although they did not secure a victory, the Conservative Party captured just over 40 percent of the popular vote and increased their number of seats by approximately 25, achieving significant gains among younger voters, new Canadians, and the working-class population, particularly in the Greater Toronto Area and rural regions.
- Poilievre said he would focus on affordability and public safety, pledging to remove carbon pricing on industry and defund the CBC, while acknowledging the election loss was a setback but calling for coalition expansion.
- The Conservative caucus adopted the Reform Act to allow a leadership review, and party members expressed cautious support for Poilievre as they plan to build on gains for future elections.
