OTTAWA — Pierre Poilievre, one of the first members of Parliament elected under the Conservative party's banner, is now its leader after a resounding first-ballot victory announced Saturday night in Ottawa.
Many in the room full of Conservative faithful at a downtown Ottawa convention centre erupted into cheers and applause at the news that the party veteran and former cabinet minister had so quickly and firmly secured the top job with 68 per cent of support.
As he took the stage, some chanted 'freedom,' which was the central rallying cry of his campaign.
