Canada Votes 2025: Carleton
The rural Ottawa riding of Carleton, which he has won seven times in a row, now stretches from Renfrew County to Prescott-Russell because of the independent review that followed the 2021 census.
It adds communities such as Constance Bay and Fitzroy Harbour to Metcalfe, Osgoode and Stittsville. It also takes the area of Piperville and Anderson roads from Orléans, and more land west of Highway 416 from Nepean.
If you're in Findlay Creek, you may now be voting in Ottawa South.
Check with Elections Canada to confirm your riding.
Campus advance voting is April 13 to 18, general advance voting is April 18 to 21 and the deadline to apply to vote by mail is April 22. Elections Canada has more information on voting options ahead of election day on Monday, April 28.
The advocacy group Longest Ballot, which tries to get as many candidates as possible on a ballot to call attention to the idea of an independent electoral reform process, told CBC News it is targeting Carleton.
Because of this, there are about 90 candidates on the final ballot.
The People's Party originally listed Chantale Dore as their Carleton candidate, but as of April 3 she was removed from their candidate page. The party did not end up fielding a candidate.

Article content Rather than subject voters to an enormous ballot, Elections Canada asked voters to write the name of their preferred candidate on the ballot instead of the standard checkbox. Read More Tories overwhelmingly opposed to Longest Ballot campaign: Poll Longest Ballot Committee strikes back at Poilievre's criticism The Longest Ballot Committee was the brainchild of Tomas and Kieran Szuchewycz in response to former prime minister Justin Trudeau's failed promise to introduce election reform. Trudeau had proclaimed the 2015 federal election would be Canada's last using the 'first-past-the-post' election system, and vowed to introduce more equitable schemes such as proportional representation. The committee wants the determining of election rules removed from the purview of elected politicians and instead entrusted to a neutral, non-partisan body — similar to how the arm's-length Elections Canada operates elections and the Electoral Boundary Commission determines ridings.

Article content 'We have a very reasonable request, we're asking for a similar body, call it Election Rules Canada, to oversee democratic reform,' the statement read. Poilievre garnered 40,548 votes out of the 50,434 ballots cast Monday, with independent Bonnie Critchley — who loudly disavowed association with the protest — coming in second with 5,013 votes. Longest Ballot candidates, at most, garnered around 11 votes, with the vast majority of ballot candidates getting one or zero votes. 'The longest ballot is a political prank that successfully gets attention and points out uncomfortable truths about power,' the committee's statement continued. 'This autumn, MPs and an eager Mr. Poilievre are likely to prove our point once again: Politicians only change election rules to help themselves.' bpassifiume@ X: @bryanpassifiume Article content Share this article in your social network Read Next

Terry Newman: Poilievre's win means Carney's cakewalk is over

The Tory leader's record of tearing apart Liberal policies will ensure in September, Parliament will be a trial by fire for the prime minister Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre speaks after his win during the Battle River-Crowfoot byelection in Camrose, Alta., Monday, Aug. 18, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jason Franson Despite naysayers and a longest ballot committee, Pierre Poilievre handily won his seat in Battle River-Crowfoot Monday, which means he will be returning to Parliament in September.

Access articles from across Canada with one account Share your thoughts and join the conversation in the comments Enjoy additional articles per month Get email updates from your favourite authors Up until this point, Prime Minister Mark Carney has had it easy. The Liberals haven't faced the Conservative leader in the House of Commons since December. And due to Poilievre's loss of the Carleton riding in the federal election, Carney has never had to face the opposition leader's razor-like questioning in Parliament. That respite will be over soon. Poilievre's return means Carney and the Liberal party's cakewalk is over. So far Carney has enjoyed public support for his policies and proposals, but Poilievre could be returning to the House at precisely the right time, as it becomes increasingly obvious that this country's problems, from the gigantic deficit, to housing affordability to our relationship with the United States, are not so easily solved. With the Conservative leader grilling the prime minister day in and day out, these problems will only be magnified. This newsletter tackles hot topics with boldness, verve and wit. (Subscriber-exclusive edition on Fridays) By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc. Please try again In fact, even out of Parliament, Poilievre has been successful at spotlighting criticisms of the Liberals EV mandate which he's described as akin 'to banning rural way of life.' The Conservatives are planning a nationwide campaign targeting the mandate, which a poll has suggested that Canadians think is 'unrealistic' and should be shelved. And there appears to be much more where that came from. Earlier this month, Poilievre challenged Carney to 'get shovels in the ground' for at least two energy projects by March 2026, a year after his swearing-in as prime minister. Carney campaigned on being committed to fast-tracking major project approvals in order to boost Canada's economy against tariff threats from Trump. Both the 'One Canadian Economy' and 'Building Canada Act' passed on June 26, but so far, no energy projects have manifested under Carney who is placing great emphasis on advancing the interests of clean growth and climate change. Poilievre has also repeated requests for Carney to repeal the industrial carbon tax and Impact Assessment Act in order to speed up private projects. Carney has explicitly refused to repeal both. Carney positioned himself as the best man for the job to fight Trump's proposed 25 per cent tariffs, later increased to 35 per cent, and to secure a new trade deal with U.S. President Donald Trump. Carney failed to reach a deal with Trump first by July 21 and then by Aug. 1. Carney claims negotiations will continue, but the elbows up facade has faded, providing more opportunities for Poilievre to criticize and differentiate his party. Carney has made clear on many occasions that he isn't a fan of being questioned, but, unless the prime minister refuses to show up to work, Poilievre will be there waiting to pounce, providing news reporters with regular punchy, quotable attacks. This advertisement has not loaded yet. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. It will much more difficult for Carney to defend obviously poor decisions such as his controversial statement that he intends to recognize Palestine as a state in September based on conditions that are not likely to be met that 'Hamas must disarm; and that Hamas must play no role in the future governance of Palestine.' Carney hasn't explained why a terrorist organization would suddenly choose to disarm after 18 years… for Mark Carney. The real test will ultimately be public opinion, and Poilievre's record of tearing apart Liberal policies will ensure September Parliament will be a trial by fire for Carney. The prime minister's polling numbers won't remain positive indefinitely. Despite a survey from early August showing Carney's approval rating at a somewhat-positive 56 per cent, only 36 per cent of Canadians seem to think the country is heading in the right direction. And of course they don't. All of the same problems that existed under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are not only still there, and they appear to be getting worse. As Post columnist Tristin Hopper points out, capital is fleeing the country, government is collecting more tax than ever before, never before has the gap between Canadian and U.S. GDP been wider, insolvencies haven't been this high since the Great Recession, housing is still unaffordable, and somehow, there are more bureaucrats on the government payroll than ever. Some might argue that this was all a product Trudeau's leadership, even though Carney advised the Liberals on economic policy informally during COVID and formally, since September 2024 when they appointed him as the Chair of the Liberal Party's Task Force on Economic Growth until he became leader of the party. This problem will be two-fold for Carney in September. Not only will he have to face questions about policy decisions since he has become prime minister, but his relationship with Brookfield means that some of his personal interests and business relations may also be a subject for debate once Parliament convenes in the fall. Poilievre, on the other hand, is a much better known quantity — often attacked for being a 'career politician.' One of the benefits of being a career politician is that everyone already knows where he stands, and they already know his life story. It would be strange for a skeleton to suddenly emerge from Polievre's closet at this point. Carney came in as a fresh face, but the party itself, especially notable cabinet ministers, didn't change much, they were just shuffled — Joly, Miller, Guilbeault, Freeland, Anand, Hajdu, Champagne and Fraser — just shifted around in a game of political musical chairs, as if these ministers would suddenly perform better in their latest positions. This all spells political trouble for Carney. And it begs another question: Which Carney can Canadians expect in House of Commons in the fall? Brookfield Carney? Former bank governor Carney? Climate Carney? Elbows up Carney? Who knows where those elbows have gone. They certainly haven't solved trade issues with Trump nor were they invited to what is being referred to as a successful meeting in Washington, D.C. about the future of Ukraine. It looks like Carney's going to need some elbow grease to explain this and more to the returning Opposition leader in the fall.
