Poilievre says he’s not going anywhere, following double digit byelection defeats

Despite being dealt double digit defeats in the three federal byelections that handed Prime Minister Mark Carney his majority, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he has no plans to resign.

“Canadians might be discouraged right now because of the current political situation, but let us say this, Canadians should not give up,” he said in the House of Commons on Tuesday, vowing to continue flighting for Canadians.

“And I will continue to lead that fight in this House, across this country, and in the next election.”

The Conservatives’ vote share shrunk by more than 10 per cent in all three ridings compared to the 2025 federal vote, seeing Poilievre’s candidate in the downtown Toronto race drop to third place.

In closely watched Terrebonne, the Conservatives slid from 18.2 per cent of the vote in 2025, to 3.3 per cent in the byelection.
That decline boosted both the Bloc Quebecois and Liberal vote shares.
