Poilievre Wins, Ready to Challenge Carney on Tariffs
Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative leader, won a special election in Alberta.
He's now back in Parliament and will challenge Prime Minister Mark Carney about U.S. tariffs.
Poilievre says Carney is failing in his handling of U.S. relations.
Carney, however, is unlikely to be removed.
This is because his party has support from other parties, even though they don't have a majority.
The Conservatives had a difficult year when they were looking to win the general election.
Pierre Poilievre won the Battle River-Crowfoot by-election.
Poilievre, Conservative leader, will confront Prime Minister Mark Carney on US tariffs.
