OTTAWA (Reuters) -The leader of Canada's official opposition Conservatives, Pierre Poilievre, secured a return to Parliament and a chance to grill Prime Minister Mark Carney, staging a comeback after unexpectedly losing his seat in an April election.
Poilievre won 80.4% of the vote in a special election on Monday in the parliamentary constituency of Battle River-Crowfoot in the province of Alberta, a Conservative stronghold.
