Across the country, many conservative supporters feel the federal election was rigged to elect Mark Carney, who was selected on March 9 as the new Liberal leader to replace Justin Trudeau, who announced his resignation on January 6.

Many Conservative Canadians, like Jane Drover, have expressed their dismay over the April 28 election loss, stating that it had been stolen from the Conservatives.

“This election had been rigged, ballots altered or dumped, election officials probably paid off to have the Liberals win,” said Drover.

Conservative Canadians feel the ballots have been tampered with. They claim the pencil-marked X from the Conservatives was erased, and then an X for the Liberals was pencilled in.

These are strong allegations; such tampering would have occurred during the official count if it had occurred.

The advance polls had a record-breaking turnout, triggering concerns that the election was being tampered with, and poll workers removed ballots from the polling sites.

Voter distrust is spreading in Canada, and B.C. Conservative leader John Rustad alleges that non-citizens may have voted in the provincial election in January.

Rustad presented 45 voting irregularities, prompting him to call for a review in British Columbia, even though he does not have solid evidence for the allegation.

Before the April 28 election night, Pierre Poilievre’s polling numbers were high, hovering above 50 per cent. Those numbers started to decline rapidly, resulting in 39.2 per cent of votes on the night of the election.

Unfortunately, Poilievre was seen as an ally to U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration, which caused Canadians to turn their backs on Poilievre due to the trade war Trump started.

As it turns out, Mark Carney, a businessperson, is allied with Donald Trump. Earlier in 2024, Carney relocated his Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. company to the state of New York, where he held 409,300 shares, totalling 6.8 million USD, before he took the option to quit for his new political role, and now the recently elected Prime Minister of Canada.

Earlier in March, during a news conference in London, Carney attempted to avoid reporters when questioned about the details of his investments in the company. Carney said he is complying with the rules that Parliament has laid out and will continue to comply.

Carney plans to meet with President Trump on May 6. Carney also said he would call for a by-election at the Conservative Party’s request when they are ready, as the Alberta MP for Battle River-Crowfoot steps down for Poilievre to run in place.
