  Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Following a February 1985 leadership convention, the new party leader and premier, Frank Miller, called an election in which the Conservatives were reduced to a minority government, and actually finished behind the Liberals in the popular vote.
The 2004 leadership election was held on September 18, 2004, electing John Tory as the party's new leader.
Tory, a longtime associate of the PC Party, was elected to the Ontario legislature in a by-election in March, 2005, in the seat that Eves held.

 Leadership convention - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Canadian politics, a leadership convention is held by a political party when the party needs to choose a leader due to a vacancy or a challenge to the incumbent leader.
Unlike in the United States, where political conventions are held every four years to choose the party's presidential nominee, in Canada the leader of a party generally remains that party's de facto candidate for Prime Minister until such time as he or she dies, resigns or is dismissed by the party.
Until 2003, when it adopted an OMOV system, every biennial convention of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation and its successor, the New Democratic Party, in the twentieth century was a leadership convention.

Even though the Quebec Conservative Party dominated politics in that province for the first thirty years of Confederation at both the federal and provincial levels, in the 20th century the party was never able to be a force in provincial politics, and ultimately dissolved into the Union Nationale in 1935.
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.
Diefenbaker remained Progressive Conservative leader until 1967, when increasing unease at his reactionary policies, authoritarian leadership, and perceived unelectability led to the 1967 leadership convention where Nova Scotia Premier Robert Stanfield was elected out of a field of eleven candidates that included Diefenbaker and Manitoba Premier Duff Roblin.

In Ontario old Erin Centre was a foundation church, a mother church: it endeavored to be true to the Book in all things; yet many of its members gradually came to see that new and expansive ideas lie within its covers and are needed in order to spread the kingdom of the Saviour.
From 1905-07 the church had intellectual and spiritual leadership of the highest, rendered by W. Cadman; but the peak of prosperity for the church had passed and what followed was but a holding of the fort, Howard Weir, a young man, was pastor for about two years, followed by W. Arnold, with still more decline.

Not surprisingly, with this kind of discouragement from the party leadership, not many resolutions originating with the grassroots have ever got to be official party policy and so is the plight of the Liberal Party member who is forced to toe party line no matter how much it hurts their honest conscience.
Under Manning's leadership, in just ten short years, the Reform Party grew from a western-based protest party to become the pan-Canadian Official Opposition in Parliament, an unprecedented political move yet to be replicated electorally.

The Convention was well-organized and had a fantastic turnout.  I believe it is important for the Party to hold leadership conventions rather than conduct them across the phone-lines.  It was a great opportunity for Members of the Party to re-acquaint themselves with friends from across Canada and make some new friends, too.
The Progressive Conservative Party of Canada, and I as its leader, are 100% committed to free trade.  We have absolutely no intention of changing the fundamentals of the deal we worked so hard to achieve.

I also want to say that in the province of Ontario since 1995, the government recognized that there was a need for communities to decide on investments that should happen in their communities.
But when you're in your local community and you hear about the Ontario Trillium Foundation, lots of times you don't understand that those are taxpayer dollars that were established by this government to ensure that we have local investments.
