The party is leading its fourth failed attempt to lose its seat and defeat the Liberals. He said Perry is a fighter and he is doing this for the people who have been left behind by this government. That is what really motivates him. Pollard lost in the Carlton, Ottawa area.
When asked in an interview if anyone would give up their seat for Pollard, Scheer did not answer directly, saying it is early days. I am confident that as we go through difficult times, as we understand things, we will come out on the other side with a more united, larger team, with more provinces represented, and Pierre is the person who can deliver victory.
Regarding Pollard’s loss of seat, Scheer acknowledged that there is still work to be done but argued that the party has seen historic progress. There is another step in this journey, but the support here could not have been achieved without the inspiring leadership of Pierre Pollard. According to Elections Canada, the Conservatives received 8,086,051 votes in the election, which is 41.3% of the total vote.
