The Conservative Party leader is headed back to Ottawa, this time as an Alberta Member of Parliament.

Pierre Poilievre celebrated victory Monday night in the Battle River-Crowfoot byelection – grabbing about 80 per cent of the votes.

“I am grateful that I will have the chance to be their humble servant, to fight every day and in every way for the people in this region who feed, power and protect all of Canada,” said Poilievre.

Poilievre was criticized by some for parachuting into rural Alberta, despite living in Ottawa for the past 20 years.
