	Clark-Biography-First Among Equals
		Despite a short term in office and dethronement as Conservative leader, Clark continued to serve the party with a career distinguished by sterling efforts behind the scenes.
		Party fundraising was overhauled and Clark introduced executive caucus meetings to concentrate Conservative attacks on government policy in the Commons.
		After the extravagant public spending of the Liberals, the Conservatives were intent on fiscal restraint and one of their first pieces of legislation was a stringent budget of program cuts and tax increases.

	Progressive Conservative Party of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The party suffered a decade-long decline following the 1993 federal election, and was formally dissolved on December 8, 2003, when it merged with the Canadian Alliance to form the new Conservative Party.
		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.
		In contrast to their American conservative counterparts, however, they did not undertake as dramatic an ideological turnaround in the first half of the 20th century by continuing to follow mercantilism and nascent notions of the welfare state.

	Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first Conservative Party in Upper Canada was made up of United Empire Loyalists and supporters of the wealthy Family Compact that ruled the colony and opposed responsible government.
		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.
		Tory, a longtime associate of the PC Party, was elected to the Ontario legislature in a by-election in March, 2005, in the seat that Eves held.

		In the late 1930s, the Conservatives and Liberals formed a united front in an attempt to fight Social Credit and, as a result, no Conservative candidates ran in 1940, 1944 and 1948.
		Alberta under the Tories has also been the province most willing to challenge Canada's system of Publicly funded medicine, introducing private clinics and threatening to opt out of the Canada Health Act.
		It seems unlikely that either opposition party (the Alberta Liberal Party and the Alberta New Democrats) will be in a serious position to challenge the Conservatives for power in the near future.

	Canadian Conservative Forum - Requested Essay
		Cultural conservatives are keenly eager to engage the secular humanist left--liberals and socialists--in polemical combat, whereas the default instinct of economic conservatives is to steer clear of controversy and conflict, which is usually bad for business.
		Economic conservative pragmatists tend to be from the professions, the corporate executive class, or the wealthier small-business class, and often hold influential and privileged positions in political parties.
		Cultural conservatives, on the other hand, are fed up with being taken for granted, and claim with historical justification that the civilization it took Christianity two millennia of blood, sweat, and tears to build is being mortally sacrificed on the altar of multiculturalism, tolerance without limits, sexual libertinism, and sundry other politically correct liberal-humanist hobby-horses.

	PROV - 'Does Alberta want to lead, or does it want to say, "To heck with the rest of the country." I'm not interested ...
		I've lectured and spoken on this for a long time, that in Alberta there are these periods of long one-party government, and if you're the governing party you have to rejuvenate yourselves periodically.
		The fact that the Green party, without much money and really much of a campaign at all, gets 3,000 or 4,000 votes in my old riding, finished second in Wild Rose federal riding, which is one of the most conservative ridings in the country, these are all signs in the wind.
		Alberta's capable of entering into these memorandums of understanding with other provinces -- it's done quite a bit of that already -- and finding things it has in common with other provinces and doing some things together.

	John O'Sullivan on Canada on National Review Online
		Political parties in Canada emerge from nowhere (generally nowhere is on the western prairie), surge into power, squabble among themselves, lose credibility and office, and then disappear altogether or endure a purgatory-like half-existence as a purely regional force.
		In the 1993 election, the Progressive Conservative party went from being the majority governing party to winning a mere two seats in parliament and thus losing the status of an official party altogether.
		The Progressive Conservatives were an unusual example of historian Robert Conquest's Second Law — "The behavior of any organization can best be predicted on the assumption that it is controlled by a secret cabal of its enemies" — for the reason that they actually were controlled by a secret cabal of their enemies.
