Three cheers for Carleton

"Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is projected to lose his longtime rural Ottawa seat to Liberal Bruce Fanjoy.

"Poilievre had won the area seven times in a row going back to his first win in 2004. While official results are not available, the preliminary results suggest Fanjoy won by about 3,800 votes, getting just over 50 per cent support.

"We've focused on the work that we had to do all along and believ[ing] that if we did the work, if we met enough people and spread a positive message, that the numbers would take care of themselves," Fanjoy said on CBC Radio's Ottawa Morning on Tuesday.
