	Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Following a February 1985 leadership convention, the new party leader and premier, Frank Miller, called an election in which the Conservatives were reduced to a minority government, and actually finished behind the Liberals in the popular vote.
		In the 1995 election, Harris catapulted his party from third place to an election victory, running on a right-wing platform known as the "Common Sense Revolution" that highlighted a number of "wedge issues" and promised significant tax cuts, cuts to welfare, the introduction of workfare, privatization and other neo-conservative measures.
		The 2004 leadership election was held on September 18, 2004, electing John Tory as the party's new leader.

		Even though the Quebec Conservative Party dominated politics in that province for the first thirty years of Confederation at both the federal and provincial levels, in the 20th century the party was never able to be a force in provincial politics, and ultimately dissolved into the Union Nationale in 1935.
		As was common amongst 19th century conservative movements, Canadian Tories opposed the rollback of government intervention in social and economic matters advocated by the liberals of the era.
		Diefenbaker remained Progressive Conservative leader until 1967, when increasing unease at his reactionary policies, authoritarian leadership, and perceived unelectability led to the 1967 leadership convention where Nova Scotia Premier Robert Stanfield was elected out of a field of eleven candidates that included Diefenbaker and Manitoba Premier Duff Roblin.

	Ontario Progressive Conservative leadership conventions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Before 1920, leaders of the Progressive Conservative Party were usually chosen by caucus.
		All of the party's leadership races before 1990 were determined by delegated conventions.
		The leadership races of 1990, 2002 and 2004 were determined by a weighted vote of all party members, with each constituency contributing an equal number of "votes" to the total.

	Ontario - MSN Encarta
		All of the Conservative agenda was accomplished against a background where popular votes were normally split closely three ways, which meant that the Conservatives had to be masters of getting out their vote–and they were.
		The Conservatives were too disorganized by their earlier defeat to profit, and so, for the first time in Ontario’s history, the socialist NDP took power under their youthful leader, Bob Rae.
		It was largely the Progressive Conservatives who built the great Ontario welfare state; it was also the Progressive Conservatives who began to tear it down, or at least to change it radically.

		After the Conservative Party of Canada was formed, a number of members of the Progressive Conservative Party and the Canadian Alliance party chose to sit as independents.
		The Canadian Alliance, which did well in western Canada in the 2000 election, but was unable to make significant inroads in the East, merged with the Progressive Conservative Party to form the Conservative Party of Canada in late 2003.
		Because the Canadian Conservative party was new, estimates were attempted based on the votes for the old Progressive Conservative Party of Canada and the Canadian Alliance party as the Conservative Party of Canada was a merger of the two parties.

		The provincial Progressive Conservatives were decidedly more right-leaning than the federal wing of the party, partly because of the reaction to the five years of NDP government in Ontario.
		However, in the October 2, 2003 provincial election, the Liberals, under Dalton McGuinty, won 72 seats (with 46.5 per cent of the popular vote), the Progressive Conservatives, under Ernie Eves, 24 seats (with 34.6 per cent of the vote), and the NDP (under Howard Hampton), 7 seats (with 14.7 per cent of the vote).
		A Progressive Conservative government in Ontario may also assist the recently reconstituted federal Conservative Party (formed in December 2003 out of the merger of the Canadian Alliance and the "ultra-moderate" federal Progressive Conservatives) in winning a larger share of Ontario seats in the federal Parliament, thereby finally offering a chance of displacing the federal Liberals.

		The Tories failed to improve their standing in the 1990 Ontario election under Harris, while the Peterson government was defeated it was at the hands of the NDP who formed a government with Bob Rae as Premier.
		Conservative television ads which attacked Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty as "still not up to the job" were received poorly by the voting public, and allowed the Liberal campaign to portray the Tories as needlessly confrontational.
		The leadership election was held on September 18 2004 electing John Tory as the party's new leader.

	Pierre Trudeau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In a 1942 Outremont by-election, he campaigned for the Quebec anti-conscription candidate Jean Drapeau, and was eventually expelled from the Officers' Training Corps for lack of discipline.
		Trudeau was persuaded to run for the Liberal leadership, and ran an energetic campaign that mobilized and inspired many youths who had been influenced by the 1960s counterculture, and who saw Trudeau as a symbol of generational change.
		In the election of 1979, Trudeau's government was defeated by the Progressive Conservatives, led by Joe Clark, who formed a minority government.

		Harper was strongly committed to conservative principles and opposed Manning's inclinations toward populism, which he saw as leading to compromise on core ideological matters.
		While the Conservatives had improved on the 72 seats they held entering the election, the party took 29.6% of the popular vote, down from the 37.7% combined total of the Canadian Alliance and Progressive Conservatives in 2000 Harper, after some personal deliberation, decided to stay on as the party leader.
		While it initially appeared that the only way the Conservative's budget would pass would be with the support of the Bloc, the budget passed third reading without dissent on June 6, 2006 when the members of the Opposition accidentally failed to stand after the Deputy Speaker of the House called for debate.

		After the 2000 election, however, the other fringe or regional parties like Bloc Quebecois, Christian Heritage, Canadian Action, Libertarian, Rest of Canada and Confederation of Regions just weren't being covered in the conventional news forums and had to have their opinions known in an alternative news political arena such as this.
		Not surprisingly, with this kind of discouragement from the party leadership, not many resolutions originating with the grassroots have ever got to be official party policy and so is the plight of the Liberal Party member who is forced to toe party line no matter how much it hurts their honest conscience.
		Stephen ran in the 1988 federal election as a candidate for the Reform Party, but lost to his old employer MP Jim Hawkes by 16% to 58% of the vote in the federal constituency of Calgary West.

	Suppressing the World's break for Economic Freedom
		In 1951, the Communist Party was one of the smallest of four parties which supported the election of Jacobo Arbenz as president of Guatemala.
		In the next five years (1985 to 1990) the income of the top 10% of Chileans rose 90% while the share of Chile's wealth for Chile's poorest 25% fell from 11% to 7%.
		As such actions increase, the national leadership will be increasingly attacked by the United States on the grounds that it is turning toward communism and becoming a base for the infiltration of the communist ideology and military system into the hemisphere.
