A date has been announced for the by-election that could see federal Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre regain a seat in parliament.
Poilievre lost his seat in the riding of Carleton in Ontario during April’s general election, a seat which he had held for over 20 years.
Not long after, Conservative MP Damien Kurek announced he would be resigning his seat so the party leader could run in a by-election.
The riding is considered to be a tory stronghold, with Kurek winning in a landslide – gaining over 80 per cent of the popular vote.
The by-election will be held on August 18th.
