Pierre Poilievre, the leader of the Conservative Party and previously seen as a prominent figure in Canadian politics, faced an unexpected defeat in a recent election where local voters in Carleton expressed strong discontent over his support for the Freedom Convoy of 2022. The four-week occupation of Ottawa, which disrupted local life and business, played a pivotal role in shaping voter sentiment against him. Many residents still harbor negative memories of the protests, which were characterized by disturbances including incessant air horn noises, contributing to Poilievre's ousting from office.
"In a stunning upset, voters in Mr. Poilievre's district turned him out of office on Monday, significantly affected by his support for the 'Freedom Convoy' of 2022."
"With Ottawa paralyzed and local businesses forced to shut down, memories of round-the-clock air horn blasting left a sour taste among voters in Carleton."
