Poilievre losing his own seat capped off a devastating night for Canada's conservatives as they were decisively beaten in the election.

Canadian Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre is projected to have lost his seat in the House of Commons, according to public broadcaster CBC. The report of Poilievre's defeat in an Ottawa-area riding (constituency) came after his party was defeated nationwide by Mark Carney's Liberal Party.

Canada's 45th election turned out to be a close one as polls narrowed in the days leading up to the end of the campaign.
