Voters in Battle River–Crowfoot head to polls in high-profile federal byelection
Voters in the sprawling rural riding of Battle River–Crowfoot are casting ballots today in a federal byelection that has drawn national attention thanks to an unusually long candidate list and the presence of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre on the ballot.
