Pierre Poilievre won the Battle River-Crowfoot byelection in rural Alberta Monday evening.
But to call it a “victory” is to suggest there was anything competitive or surprising about it.
The outcome was never in doubt, not in a riding where Conservative candidates routinely win more than 80 per cent of the vote — and where Damien Kurek, the incumbent who stepped down to open up the byelection for Poilievre, won with 83 per cent in last April’s federal election.
