| | In Search of Canadian Neoconservatism |
 | | In Canada, the role that neoconservatism will play remains uncertain, as is the definition it will ultimately hold in the Canadian political lexicon, and at the present time we cannot even say whether it will become a category fully distinct from Toryism and libertarianism. |
| | While American neoconservatism arose from a schism on the political left, as liberal anti-Communists split from others more sympathetic to statism, Canadian neoconservatism is more the product of a split on the right, as some rejected the Red Tory tradition of Canadian conservatism. |
| | Neoconservatism, in its initial form of American liberal anti-communism, seems on paper to be an example of "American exceptionalism," the argument that the United States has such a distinctive history and social background that its institutions are unlikely to be replicated in other countries. |
