	Canadian Alliance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Canadian Alliance's origins were in the Reform Party of Canada, which was founded in 1987 as a populist party but which moved to the right and became a conservative party shortly thereafter.
		The union was ratified on December 5, 2003, with 96% support of the membership of the Canadian Alliance, and on December 6, 90.04% support of the membership of the PC Party.
		On December 8, the party was officially registered with Elections Canada, and on March 20, 2004, former Alliance leader Stephen Harper was elected as leader of the new party.

	Canadian Alliance
		The Canadian Alliance party was created from the remains of the former REFORM PARTY OF CANADA at a convention in Ottawa in January of 2000 in an attempt to merge conservative opposition to the LIBERAL PARTY.
		The election in late November saw the Canadian Alliance increase its number of seats (over that of the previous Reform Party) to 66, and retain Reform's title of Her Majesty's Official Opposition to the victorious Liberals, who took 172 seats.
		Over the next few months, Day's credibility and that of the party declined rapidly in the face of a disastrous lawsuit launched against Day while he was a provincial politician and a series of other embarrassing political mistakes.

	Canadian Alliance : Canadian Alliance Party (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Canadian Alliance is the most right wing of the major Canadian federal political parties.
		The party achieved major successes in the 1993 federal election when it succeeded in replacing the Progressive Conservative Party as the leading voice of right wing opinions.

	CANADIAN ALLIANCE PARTY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Canadian Alliance is the most right wing of Canadian federal parties, it also has strong grassroots and neoconservative leanings.
		In the 1997 election the Reform Party was even more successful becoming Canada's official opposition, however the party still failed to present a true challenge to the Liberal government, mostly due to inadequate support in eastern Canada.
		However, the Alliance failure to win more seats in Ontario coupled with residual resentments from the Alliance leadership contest led to caucus infighting, which in the summer 2001 provoked a group of dissident MPs, led by Deborah Grey and Chuck Strahl, to quit the party and form their own parliamentary grouping, the Democratic Representative Caucus.

		The parties were graded based on whether their platforms contain promises to implement 20 measures that would democratize the federal government in five key areas, ensuring that the government is representative, ethical, open, accountable and citizen-driven.
		The Liberal Party is clearly the worst of all the parties, as its platform does not contain even one proposal to democratize the government.
		None of the party platforms contained strong, clear promises to strengthen access-to-information laws, to ensure that government acts honestly, or to ensure that the behind-closed-doors activities of lobbyists are publicly disclosed and their undue influence restricted.

		The Canadian Alliance Party has been confusing to read on this issue, with party workers and working documents saying one thing and the leader saying another thing.
		The Canadian Alliance party has, at other points, tried to distance itself from the controversial phrase "two-tier system" by employing alternative terms like "parallel health care systems." We must ask ourselves whether there is any real difference between these two concepts.
		The Canadian Alliance Party has said that it will respect the Canada Health Act, but the current government of Alberta, with Stockwell Day as its treasurer, has already worked to weaken the Canada Health Care act, by passing Bill 11 that allows for private clinics and daring the federal government to cut off their funds.

	BBC News \| AMERICAS \| Stockwell Day: Preaching politician
		The Canadian Alliance was created from the Reform party with elements of the minority Conservatives in a bid to make a breakthrough in the east.
		Before becoming Alliance leader, he had sharpened his skills in Alberta, where he became known for a tough, no-nonsense brand of social conservatism and made little secret of his religious views.
		Alliance strategists felt the combination would not help the party break through in the voter-rich province of Ontario, so he muzzled his combative skills, deflected questions about his beliefs.

	Poll: ROBBINS retro poll-the merging of the Canadian Alliance and Progressive Conservatives
		It is accepted by most pundits that even if sixty-five per cent of the public agreed with The Canadian Alliance Party, they will likely not receive more than thirty per cent of the popular national vote in an election, because Ontario and Quebec’s mutual self-interest always trumps the good of the country and ethical politics.
		The Canadian Alliance had to take a dive, in order to create the political spectacle that a merger was necessary, and manifest the voters collective desire to kick out the hypocritical Liberals.
		This survey reveals that Canadian Alliance ‘voters’, want to get rid of the Liberals so badly now they are willing to overlook the ‘shotgun’ wedding of the CA and PC Parties and some of the less desirable aspects of the merger provisions (including the merger itself), in order to get rid of The Liberals.
