DUFFERIN CALEDON

Conservative incumbent Kyle Seeback has been re-elected in the riding of Dufferin-Caledon.

The riding, which includes largely rural Dufferin County as well as Peel Region’s town of Caledon, was widely expected to remain in the Conservative column. Seeback beat out Liberal candidate Lisa Post, a town councillor in Orangeville. Samantha Sanchez was running for the NDP, Anthony Zambito for the People’s Party of Canada, and Jenni Michelle Le Forestier ran for the Green party.

In 2019, Seeback handily beat then-Liberal candidate Michele Fisher, taking 42 per cent of the vote, compared to Fisher’s 33 per cent. That marked Seeback’s return to Parliament after he’d lost to Liberal Sonia Sidhu in the newly formed riding of Brampton South in 2015.

Seeback had represented the riding of Brampton West from 2011 to 2015.

In 2013, Seeback apologized to fellow Conservative MP Brad Butt for using unparliamentary language after reportedly calling Butt “a bitch” on the floor of the House of Commons.
