Pierre Poilievre Canada election 2025 results: Conservative Party leader, who was once predicted to become Prime Minister, now faces defeat in polls

Canada Prime Minister Mark Carney's main challenger and Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre was voted out of his own seat in Parliament as Liberal Party won Canada's federal election, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation projected on Monday.

The loss of his seat representing his Ottawa district during Monday's election capped a stunning decline in fortunes for the firebrand Poilievre, who only a few months ago appeared to be a shoo-in to become Canada's next prime minister and to shepherd the Conservatives back into power for the first time in a decade before US President Donald Trump's trade war with Canada and suggestions it should become the 51st state outraged voters and upended the election.

Poilievre, a career politician, campaigned with Trump-like bravado, even taking a page from the "America First" president by adopting the slogan "Canada First". But his similarities to Trump may have ultimately cost him and his party in Monday's election.


After polls closed, the Liberals were projected to win more of Parliament's 343 seats than the Conservatives. It wasn't immediately clear, though, if they would win an outright majority - at least 172 - or would need to rely on one of the smaller parties to pass legislation.

The Liberals looked headed for a crushing defeat until the American president started attacking Canada's economy and threatening its sovereignty, suggesting it should become the 51st state.

Trump's actions infuriated Canadians and stoked a surge in nationalism that helped the Liberals flip the election narrative and win a fourth-straight term in power.

In a victory speech before supporters in Ottawa, Carney stressed the importance of Canadian unity in the face of Washington's threats. He also said the mutually beneficial system Canada and the US had shared since World War II had ended.
