So how does it work if the leader of the official opposition doesn't get elected in his riding? Does he still get to show up to Parliament, and just bide his time until a by-election?

Sort of. They choose a house leader who has a seat until he wins a seat. No he can't go to Parliament. He doesn't get a salary from the tax payers.

Could he just retire and collect pension ?

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

That would be ideal.
