US EditionPoilievre finds himself a spectator as debate gets underway in Parliament
- Conservative MP Damien Kubek resigned from his rural Alberta seat, Battle River-Crowfoot, in the House of Commons on May 29, 2025.
- Kubek's resignation follows a legal restriction that he cannot resign until about June 8, 2025, roughly 30 days after his election, creating timing uncertainty.
- Kubek’s seat, a safe Conservative district with over 80% vote share in 2025, is intended for Poilievre’s by-election candidacy after his April 28 election defeat in Carleton.
- Remarks honoring Kubek were delivered by MPs from multiple parties today, and Prime Minister Carney reportedly did not oppose expediting the by-election for Poilievre.
- The by-election timing remains unconfirmed but is expected in summer so Poilievre can enter Parliament before the September session resumes.
