  Ontario Progressive Conservative leadership conventions, 1985 - Biocrawler
In 1985, the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party held two leadership conventions: one in January, and one in November.
The January convention was held in Toronto to choose a replacement for William Davis, who had served as Ontario PC leader and Premier of the province of Ontario since 1971.
Although the Tories had won the largest number of seats in the Ontario Legislative Assembly, the Ontario Liberal Party gained the support of the third party, the Ontario New Democratic Party, and formed the government, putting the Conservatives into opposition for the first time in 44 years.

 David Curtin on Canada & Conservatives on National Review Online
Flaherty is running to succeed premier Mike Harris at the helm of Ontario's governing Progressive Conservative party in the party's leadership election on March 23.
His full-bodied, conservative platform of tax cuts, privatization, and school choice has set the agenda for the contest, and won him important momentum against party-brass candidate and early front-runner Ernie Eves.
Polls of the general public have consistently placed Eves well in the lead, but some more recent surveys of the 100,000 Conservative party members who will be eligible to vote in the leadership election suggest that he has lost most of his advantage, and that Flaherty is gaining on him rapidly.

 Ontario Conservative Leader Vows to Advance Liberal Stance, keep “Progressive” in Name
Tory claimed the decision was to reflect the so-called “moderate” stance the Ontario PCs maintain, as compared to what he considers the right wing position of the national Conservative Party — which includes opposition to same-sex “marriage” legislation by a majority of federal Conservative MPs.
Tory claimed the Ontario wing of the party is conservative, because of its fiscal views, but progressive in its social stand.
All-party collusion on same-sex “marriage” saw the bill rammed through the Ontario legislature from introduction to final passage in only three days last week, with no significant debate and no opportunity for public input.

 Continuation
On this historic election, the Ontario Liberal Party won a majority of 72 out of 103 seats in the Legislature, and, consequently, the previous Conservative government has been swept from power.
The Conservative Party has fallen to 24 from 56 seats, and the NDP to 7 from 9 seats (it was expected to be better, not worse).
That's because the Ontario government, a very-far-right government known as Harris government, implemented since 1995 a policy that is crystal clear against immigrants.
