		Eves took out a membership in the Canadian Alliance in 2000 to support Tom Long's leadership bid, but rejoined the Tories after Stockwell Day was chosen as the Canadian Alliance leader.

		So when Eves and Mike Harris travelled to Europe in September, 1996, to meet with bankers and investors in Paris, Zurich, London and Frankfurt, it was no surprise that their last stopover was Edinburgh, Scotland's capital.

		When Eves became finance minister in 1995, his wife Vicki made a conflict-of-interest disclosure that showed she was drawing five separate paycheques from two family-owned companies and from her father's estate.

	CBC - Ontario Votes 2003
		From the moment in 2001 when he declared his candidacy to lead the Progressive Conservatives, Ernie Eves sought to put ideological distance between himself and the policies of his predecessor, Mike Harris.
		Since his election, Eves had spent freely to quell the social unrest caused by years of Tory cost cutting: a controversial proposal to privatize Ontario's electrical utility was watered down and eventually dropped, with caps re-imposed on hydro rates.
		But Eves' shift to the middle was overshadowed by political blunders: he flip-flopped on a Harris-era plan to privatize the province's electrical utility; the first-ever budget presented outside the legislature led to charges of contempt for democratic process; the government seemed unprepared when flouts loomed at the height of last summer's heat wave.
