  01-05-2025 22:58 via sherwoodparknews.com
  Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has lost his seat in Parliament, complicating earlier plans he announced to stay on as party leader.

That makes things more awkward for the Conservative leader, who must now find a way to regain a seat, while also soo
