	AllRefer.com - Progressive Conservative party (Canadian History) - Encyclopedia
		From 1986, the Progressive Conservative party under Prime Minister Brian Mulroney attempted to resolve the delicate constitutional issues of provincial status in the failed Meech Lake Accords and unsuccessful constitutional proposals, and negotiated a free trade agreement (1987) with the United States.
		Kim Campbell, the party's and Canada's first female leader, briefly governed and led the party (1993) before she and all but two of the party's parliamentary candidates were rejected at the polls.
		She was succeeded as party leader by Jean Charest, who led the national party to a partial recovery in the 1997 elections, but the party's full recovery was hampered by the emergence of the Reform party (later the Canadian Alliance).

	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.

		The Conservatives should never disregard political and social reform, but if there is any lesson to be learnt from history, I believe it is that the party cannot expect to win success by outbidding the radicals.

	Uniting the right - Interim, September 2002
		The only sensible alternative, as advocated by Alliance leader Stephen Harper, is to forge a true Canadian conservative party, building on the strengths of both the Tories and Reform, while ditching their respective tendencies to wander into the wastelands of small-l liberalism and populism.
		This conflict of visions is between cultural conservatives (religious and traditional family-values oriented) on the one hand, and "neo-conservative"/libertarians (fiscal bottom-liners who tend to be secularist moral pragmatists) on the other.
		But like it or not, no conservative party can win national elections without the support of the cultural-religious right, and the neocons' attempt to straddle the widening gulf between fiscal and cultural conservatism just leaves them looking like they don't stand for anything in particular.

	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.
		The first is the dominance of the Liberal party — or as they are known, "the Grits." The Grits are almost always in power because they seek to admit virtually every sector of Canadian society into their big tent and adjust their ideology to suit whatever the voters want at any one time.
		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.
