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.
Fanjoy lives in the village of Manotick, where he built a carbon-neutral house.
He worked in business and marketing before stepping back to be a parent and volunteer โ and now MP-elect.
Carletonย now stretches from Renfrew County to Prescott-Russell because of the independent review that followed the 2021 census.
It added communities such as Constance Bay and Fitzroy Harbour to Metcalfe, Osgoode and Stittsville. It also tookย the area ofย Piperville and Anderson roadsย fromย Orlรฉans,ย and more land west of Highway 416 from Nepean.
Findlay Creek moved toย Ottawa South.
The advocacy group Longest Ballot, which tries to get as many candidates as possible on a ballot to call attention to the idea ofย an independent electoral reform process, told CBC News it targetedย Carleton.
Because of this, there were 91ย candidates on the final ballot.
