Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre is headed back to the House of Commons after winning the Battle River–Crowfoot federal byelection in Alberta on Aug. 18 with over 80 percent of the vote.
“If I stand before you here today, it is by the grace of God and the good generosity of so many people,” Poilievre told supporters in Camrose, Alta., in his victory speech, which at one point got emotional as he relayed stories of people who he said inspired him to not give up.
