Conservative incumbent Kyle Seeback has been re-elected for Dufferin-Caledon.
Seeback released the following statement, following his win in the 44th General Election, yesterday :
“Thank you to the residents of Dufferin-Caledon for once again placing their trust and confidence in me for a second term. I’m humbled by the support shown to me by my constituents from end to end of this riding. I’m looking forward to building on the progress we’ve made on many issues important to our community. I remain committed to:
· ensuring the swift expansion of rural broadband to every home in Dufferin-Caledon;
· supporting small businesses and farmers as they continue to struggle with the ongoing impacts of the pandemic; as well as
· ensuring seniors and those who were left behind by the Liberals, are finally provided with the care and support they deserve.
I cannot thank my exceptional campaign team enough for the countless hours of hard work they dedicated to my campaign. It was thanks to them we were able to share our vision for Dufferin-Caledon with thousands of voters. I’m incredibly proud of what we achieved together over the last five weeks. It was a strong, positive, campaign that remained firmly focused on the issues important to residents. I do think I have to comment on the incredibly negative campaign run by Justin Trudeau and the Liberals. They used vaccines as a wedge issue and in so doing, divided and polarized Canadians. It was irresponsible and only deepened divisions in Canada. I believe this was an unfortunate new low in Canadian politics.
On the other side, we had another ugly, negative campaign run by the People’s Party of Canada (PPC) that sought to enrage or terrify Canadians over vaccine policy. Both parties should be ashamed of the campaigns they ran. Canadians need leadership and politicians that bring people together, especially with difficult issues.
Dufferin-Caledon can continue to count on me to be a strong, effective voice for our community and will work hard to bring people together. My priorities are the priorities of my constituents, always making myself accessible, and delivering real results. This is the representation my constituents want and deserve.”
