Brigitte Pellerin : The 2025 federal election is the first one since the early 2022 trucker occupation of Ottawa .

She says Liberal candidate Bruce Fanjoy took the Conservative leader’s seat from Pierre Poilievre in Carleton .

Fanjoy has lived in Ottawa since 2002 and has been active in his community for a long time.

The election in this sprawling riding was about one local man meeting neighbours as he could and convincing them to vote for him.
