Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is being given another shot at securing a seat in Parliament as voters in the Alberta riding of Battle River-Crowfoot head to the polls for a byelection on Aug. 18.
It will be a crowded race, as 213 other candidates are registered in the rural riding. Poilievre is expected to win handily, as it is one of the safest Conservative seats in the country. His predecessor, Damien Kurek, won the riding by over 46,000 votes in the April election.
