	Canadian conservatism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Canada, political conservatism is generally considered to be primarily represented by the Conservative Party of Canada at the federal level, and by the various right-leaning parties at the provincial levels.
		Originally, Canadian conservatism tended to be loyalist and traditionalist.
		Canadian conservatives have generally favoured the continuation of old political institutions, government intervention in the economy when necessary, and strong ties to the monarchy.

	Conservatism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Conservatism is a philosophy defined by Edmund Burke as "a disposition to preserve, and an ability to improve".
		Conservatism is tethered to the traditions of a given society and therefore it cannot hold any single or universal meaning across the world.
		Conservatism is older than the left-right division in politics; and conservatives may align with either the left or right depending on the time and place.

		Canadian Conservatism’s only hope is to develop a conservatism drastically different from that of the United States.

	Gods of the Copybook Headings: So You Say You Want A Revolution?
		The comparatively laissez-faire approach of the Canadian governments of the late nineteenth century was challenged and overturned by decades of intellectual struggle, a struggle fought and won first in our universities and intellectual salons, or their backwoods equivalents.
		The modern lie that Canadians are inherently statist, and thus reform impossible, is matched by the lie that Canadians are inherently "moderate." The concept "moderate" is meaningless outside of its narrow understanding, something between two extremes.
		The issue in Canadian history, and the history of every nation to have a functioning public debate on social and political issues, is not who defines what is considered moderation, but who the extremists are and what they are fighting for.

	Canadian conservatism and the managerial state
		Its main theme is the rise of the managerial state in Canada and the consequent disintegration of Canadian "civil society," which leads Gairdner to characterize this society as "A Tyranny of Individuals" mired in a crass materialism.
		Conservatism cannot redefine itself as liberalism in its youth, since today's New Class ideology against which it fights is that very same liberalism gone senile and thus forgetful of its earlier ideals.
		Gairdner is referring to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (1982), the core document of Canadian liberalism, and of Canada as a liberal country.

	Social conservatism - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Social conservatism is a belief in traditional or natural law-based morality and social mores and the desire to preserve these in present day society, often through civil law or regulation.
		Proponents of social conservatism counter that many "modern" values are also vapid and corrupt, often pointing out their belief that the traditional nuclear family in the United States has deteriorated over recent decades as a result of increased social acceptance of divorce, promiscuity, and homosexuality.
		Within the Western world, social conservatism is most widespread in the United States (though it is also present to a lesser extent in Europe, for example in the work of writers like Peter Hitchens and in publications like the Salisbury Review).

	Canadian Conservative Forum - Requested Essay
		An analysis of the state of Canadian conservatism, and the challenge to electability posed by the schism between the social/religious branch of the movement, and the fiscal/pragmatist wing.
		The conventional-wisdom knock against conservatism and right of centre thinking is that it is allegedly the ideology of despair, callous self-interest, greed, hard-heartedness, etc., that conservatives are all fat-cat business hypocrites who trash big government when it suits them but run to it when they need help.
		Canadians are arguably more conservative in their political orientation in the late 1990s than they have been at any other time in this century, but as a political force they are stalemated by the schism within conservatism.

	Vive le Canada - What is Canadian Conservatism? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		There are important points of convergence between Canadian conservatism (with its concern for the common good) and second generation liberalism with its concern for the welfare of each and all (and the role of the state in ensuring such a good).
		Most of the Conservative Canadian Prime Ministers (such as Macdonald, Borden, Meighen, Bennett and Diefenbaker) exerted much effort and gave the best of their energies to defend Canada and define it in such a way that it could not be confused with or assimilated into the United States.
		It is this type of conservatism that cannot be equated with either the so called conservatism of Thatcher/Reagan or the way conservatism is used by Blue Tories in the PC party or by the Alliance Party; needless to say, such positions and ideologies are republican and liberal.
