|Updated:

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said he lost his Ottawa riding because of a campaign by public sector unions after he was “honest” about plans to cut federal worker jobs if elected.

Poilievre had held the Carleton riding for about 20 years before he lost his seat in the recent federal election to Bruce Fanjoy, who won 50.9 percent of the vote. Poilievre won 45.7 percent of the vote.
