Oh and don't forget, Carney air dropped into a riding he's never lived in, kicking out a Lib who did have a seat in a 'safe riding'
PP couldn't go to Carleton early enough since he was going all over the country to campaign on a very short campaign. Carleton was never guaranteed, in the past, about 52% CPC / 44% LPC. CPC hq didn't do enough there for sure.
Not sure about how things will work, I do hope the best for Carney.
LPC probably feel best if PP stays as the Leader of the CPC, especially if they go to an election in 2 years to get a majority (see 2021 try).

I know you’re trying to make excuses for Poilievre, but the leaders don’t have time to campaign in their own ridings. That’s just part of the deal. The CPC had sent in workers because they knew they were in trouble there and Poilievre did campaign there. The reality is, the voters of the riding rejected him and elected a rookie Liberal instead. There’s nothing nefarious, it’s not because the voters in the riding weren’t aware of who Poilievre was or anything like that.
