Poilievre wins big — everywhere, by EricGrenierTW
The passing of Queen Elizabeth II was a dominant theme of the Conservative leadership event on Saturday, from the sombre music that greeted attendees as if they were arriving to a funeral, to the performance ofand eulogies to the late monarch uttered by virtually every speaker who took the stage.
The Ontario MP won a majority of points in all 13 provinces and territories and the plurality in every riding in all but Ontario and Quebec, where Charest won two and six ridings, respectively. That gave Poilievre a staggering 330 to eight victory margin. As expected, Poilievre absolutely dominated Western Canada. He took 71.9% of the points in British Columbia, 79.4% in Alberta, 78.3% in Saskatchewan and 71.9% in Manitoba. In all four provinces, Lewis placed second with scores ranging from 11.7% in Alberta to 15.4% in Manitoba. Charest was third throughout the region, failing to hit double-digits. British Columbia, with 9.4%, was his best province west of Ontario.
While that was one of the lower results for Poilievre across the country, he still won Quebec on the first ballot with more of the vote than O’Toole did on the third ballot in 2020 or Maxime Bernier did on the 13th ballot in 2017.
