Regarding Carleton Riding...

I live in Carleton Riding and am not one bit surprised that Pierre Poilievre lost his seat. I don't actually think Pierre did anything wrong in his campaign. Frankly, he held up really well nationally against a seasoned opponent with global experience in finance and business at a time when that is the biggest concern-global trade. Were it not for Trump, Poilievre probably would have won the election.

The demographics of the riding of Carleton has changed dramatically in the past 5 years. There has been a huge amount of construction of suburban homes in Barrhaven and Riverside South. Almost all (not an exaggeration) of these new residents are New Canadians mostly from India, Asia and to a lesser degree Arab and Latin American countries New Canadians have largely always voted liberal so the result was not a shock to me at all.

Also, I'm quite fine with the result and very happy to have all our new neighbours bringing more diversity to our city.
