Letter to the Editor: Pierre Poilievre was a failed candidate

Pierre Poilievre was a failed candidate on April 28. He was no longer wanted as an MP by the voters of Carleton. Damien Kurek should not have resigned causing an unnecessary by-election for the taxpayers to fund in the 2nd safest Conservative riding in Canada. Pierre has been cocooned in the Ottawa bubble all of his life, first as an aide to Stockwell Day, then as an MP over 20 years for the Carleton riding. Arranging a by-election for Pierre in a very safe riding makes him look weak. It was time for him to move on to the private sector.
