		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.
		In the 1995 election, Harris catapulted his party from third place to an election victory, running on a right-wing platform known as the "Common Sense Revolution" that highlighted a number of "wedge issues" and promised significant tax cuts, cuts to welfare, the introduction of workfare, privatization and other neo-conservative measures.
		The 2004 leadership election was held on September 18, 2004, electing John Tory as the party's new leader.

	Progressive Conservative Party of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Red Tories tend to be traditionally conservative, that is, "tory" in the Disraelian sense in social policy, placing a high value on the principles of noblesse oblige, communitarianism, and One Nation Conservatism - and were thus seen as moderate (in the context of classical economic thought) in their economic policy.
		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.
		On January 9, 2004, a group claiming to be loyal to the Progressive Conservative Party and opposed to the merger, which they characterized as an Alliance takeover, filed application with the Chief Electoral Officer to register a party called the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada.

		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.
		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 in rejecting mercantilism and nascent notions of the welfare state.

		In the election of 1979, Trudeau's government was defeated by the Progressive Conservatives, led by Joe Clark, who formed a minority government.

		The Conservative candidate is Jean-Pierre Blackburn, who represented this part of Canada as a Conservative MP in the 1980s during the Mulroney years.
		Secondly, Conservative strategists believe that, if they are to knock off the Liberals, they must be seen by voters in all parts of the country but particularly in Ontario as a credible federalist alternative in Quebec.
		Similarly, Quebecers have been known to jump on an Ontario bandwagon, that is if Quebeckers see Ontario is about to vote in a Conservative government, Quebeckers may decide to send a few Conservative MPs of their own to Ottawa if only to sit at the cabinet table.

	Ontario PC leadership race - Interim, January 2002
		It did not take long for abortion to become an issue in the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party leadership campaign - just long enough, in fact, for the media to ask the first announced candidate about his views on the issue during his kick-off press conference.
		Unfortunately, it was became an issue not because one of the leadership hopefuls had made a courageous and principled stand in defence of innocent human life.
		Following the last federal election, Flaherty had joined other social conservatives, such as Bob Runciman, in criticizing the Alliance's position on homosexuality and its refusal to rule out a referendum on abortion.

	Ontario Leadership Candidates Weigh-In
		In light of the upcoming Ontario provincial election, Trot Insider has polled the province’s leadership candidates on their approach to the horse racing industry.
		All nine official parties were asked to indicate what the government, under their leadership, would do to support the horse racing industry and the 60,000 people it employs in Ontario.
		We feel that provincial political leadership should have no role in the direct regulation or support of any industry beyond the responsibility to arbitrate or enforce measures to ensure no harm or fraud comes to people.

		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.
		Flaherty, however, is having none of it, and through a campaign of bold speeches and skillfully timed policy statements has transformed the leadership election from an Eves coronation to a contest for the heart and soul of the party.
		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.

	LifeSite Special Report - Ontario's New Government: More Progressive Than Conservative
		TORONTO, May 17, 2002 (lsn.ca) - In the recent leadership race, say Ontario Progressive Conservatives, the party faced a clear choice between (a.) adopting moderate positions that would shift the party towards the political centre, and (b.) adhering to the proven election-winning formula of staking out bold positions on the right.
		The lack of genuine compassionate conservatism and the Eves Tories' disdain for social conservatives are two reasons why they stand to lose the next election.
		However, many social conservatives believe that recent campaigns such as the first Stockwell Day leadership run merely "scratched the surface" in terms of potential support.

	Progressive Conservative ReView & ReKnew: The Fusion of Conservative Futures...
		In April 2004, when I first coined the term "Progressive Conservatism," I was not aware of Jude Wanniski's 1979 coinage of Progressive Conservative as a rubric for the Reaganites (to distinguish them from the Paleo-Cons).
		At first thought, conservatives may blush at the use of the term “Progressive,” since its historical roots largely feed the cause of bigger government and its contemporary use sometimes substitutes for the term “liberal.” In the section The Right Word, we address these blushing conservative concerns.
		Rhetorically, this strategy allows conservatives to trump the narrative of liberals’ “social justice.” Like Friedrich Hayek, we believe that the construct of “social justice” is largely a facade for income and wealth re-redistribution via government.
