He didn't step down. Maybe it'll change since he lost his seat but at the moment it looks like the party is gearing up for a civil war.

The Party really should be multiple conservative parties. As a tentpole, it's too awkwardly covering too many things, most of which even other conservatives don't agree with. But without this unity, the conservatives can never come close to winning. So I think they're going to desperately try to keep the party together.

Pierre officially doesn't need a seat to be leader (Mark Carney only just won his seat and has been leading the party a few months now), but is typical. As leader of the party, PP can also sort of just take a seat from someone else.

What's crazy is that Carleton (PP's riding) is a full-out conservative stronghold. It's a huge flip for the liberals and is like, the 2nd or 3rd time ever that area hasn't voted conservative. That's how much of a loser PP was.

What's even funnier, is the seat Mark Carney won, was also PP's seat until ~2015.
