Pierre Poilievre to run in Alberta byelection after MP resigns

توضیحات:

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is heading west — announcing plans to run in an upcoming Alberta byelection after losing his Ontario seat of Carleton. The move brings excitement to some in the Battle River-Crowfoot riding, particularly in Camrose, while raising eyebrows and concerns for others. MP Damien Kurek, who has held the seat since 2019, is stepping aside to allow Poilievre the opportunity — but says he plans to run again in the next general election. Some constituents express gratitude and hope for a stronger Conservative presence, while others question whether Poilievre’s move is genuinely in the region’s interest — or simply a political strategy. Prime Minister Mark Carney has promised a quick and fair process for the byelection. Global's Morgan Black reports.
