Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives lead the Liberals in projected seat victories for Canada’s next federal election, according to pollster Nanos Research.

“In the latest Nanos seat projections that we do, we actually have the Conservatives winning more seats than the Liberals, which means there will be a chance of not just a Liberal defeat, but of the Conservatives having a chance to form a government,” said pollster Nik Nanos during an appearance on CTV News’ Trend Line podcast on Oct. 5.
