In your May 1, 2025 edition, reporter Sam Ordrowski very accurately recorded Mr. Kyle Seeback's victory speech as re-elected MP for Dufferin-Caledon.

That speech unfortunately revealed why the Conservative Party of Canada lost their leader and did not win their long anticipated majority.

Even their leader, the normally pugnacious, provocative and petulant Mr. Poilievre was almost gracious in accepting his personal defeat, acknowledging that “Conservatives will work with the Prime Minister and all parties with the common goal of defending Canada's interests and getting a new trade deal that puts these tariffs behind us while protecting our sovereignty and the Canadian people.” 

Mr, Seeback, unfortunately, didn't follow in his leader's footsteps, calling the new government “very weak,” “corrupt, arrogant Liberals”, labelled the NDP as “incompetent”, and threatened to give the new government “a hell of a time.”

As if that weren't negative enough, he went on to declare “we are going to eat Mark Carney's lunch” until the end of his term, and then “we are going to bring his government down.”

That attitude is exactly what cost the Conservatives the trust of a majority of Canadians. We need adult wisdom in government, not adolescent angst. 

Try to get it right next time, Mr, Seeback. You're an MP, not the leader of a teen street gang.
