For the past three years, since becoming the leader of the Conservative Party and leader of the opposition, Pierre Poilievre and his family have enjoyed living in a publicly-funded 19-room mansion complete with staff. That is now over, at least until he finds a way back into the House of Commons.
Liberal Bruce Fanjoy had spent the better part of two years running already, laying the groundwork for his convincing election win. Now retired, Fanjoy said he was looking for a project and that he took exception to the tone of Poilievre and his brand of politics, with its echoes of Trump.

OTTAWA — Before Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre finds a new seat in the House of Commons, he will likely have to find a new home.
Early Tuesday morning, it became clear that Poilievre had lost his bid for re-election in Carleton, the suburban Ottawa riding he’s represented since 2004. Around 3:30 p.m. ET, Elections Canada reported the Liberals’ Bruce Fanjoy captured Poilievre’s Ottawa-area riding by about 4,300 votes.
The loss complicates Poilievre’s announcement that he plans to stay on as party leader.
But it also likely throws a wrench into his living situation.
