	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.
		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.

	ESR \| September 13, 2004 \| Tories choose new leader in Ontario
		However, the Progressive Conservatives under Premier Bill Davis (in 1971-1985) had been largely hostile to any manifestations of social and cultural conservatism – they were pragmatic managers in a period of massive social upheaval and transformation – which was mostly generated by the Liberal federal government in Ottawa.
		The provincial Progressive Conservatives were decidedly more right-leaning than the federal wing of the party, partly because of the reaction to the five years of NDP government in Ontario.
		However, in the October 2, 2003 provincial election, the Liberals, under Dalton McGuinty, won 72 seats (with 46.5 per cent of the popular vote), the Progressive Conservatives, under Ernie Eves, 24 seats (with 34.6 per cent of the vote), and the NDP (under Howard Hampton), 7 seats (with 14.7 per cent of the vote).

	Pierre Trudeau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In a 1942 Outremont by-election, he campaigned for the Quebec anti-conscription candidate Jean Drapeau, and was eventually expelled from the Officers' Training Corps for lack of discipline.
		Trudeau was persuaded to run for the Liberal leadership, and ran an energetic campaign that mobilized and inspired many youths who had been influenced by the 1960s counterculture, and who saw Trudeau as a symbol of generational change.
		In the election of 1979, Trudeau's government was defeated by the Progressive Conservatives, led by Joe Clark, who formed a minority government.

		In the election of 1997 the pattern of voting remained pretty much unchanged: Reform took 60 seats, mostly in the west, the BQ took 44 seats in Quebec, and the Liberals took 155 seats, mostly in Ontario.
		The successful leadership bid of Stephen Harper has also led many in the media to conclude that the Conservative Party is simply the Alliance with a new name.
		The total of promised spending in the Conservative platform is significantly greater than in either of the Liberal or NDP platforms: this is not a small government platform.

		Conservative voters were disappointed, party activists were distraught, and the party's leadership was left scrambling.
		In Ontario, John Tory, the most centrist candidate in the recent Ontario Progressive Conservative leadership race, was crowned leader of the party; something that, to most observers, effectively marked the end of former premier Mike Harris's Common Sense Revolution.
		A well-funded conservative infrastructure, acting as a support network for the Republican party, has been instrumental in that party's victories in the U.S. Over time, this infrastructure has successfully made conservative ideas a major force in the national discourse.

		Another ad, focused on Ontario, likened him to former Progressive Conservative prime minister Brian Mulroney and former premier Mike Harris, suggesting he was the third man in a controversial triumvirate.
		So far, this tactic has led to favourable media coverage of their cornerstone election planks, including reducing the GST immediately from 7 per cent to 6 per cent — and to 5 per cent by 2011 — and giving parents of children under the age of 6 a $1,200 per child annual allowance.

		Harper has proven he is a leader who can generate support from sometimes opposing conservative factions, he is without a doubt the brightest public policy mind in the House and he is an articulate and intelligent debator that Canadians can only warm to.

	Flagrancy to Reason
		The "kidnapping" was nothing more than a flimsy pretext (in 2004 under the same circumstances - except the warplan wasn't ready - Israel sufficiently defended itself by merely arranging the prisoner exchange) for a continuation of the naked aggression of 1982, if not, it seems, an outright fabrication altogether.
		From 2000 to June 2004, 291 landmine/UXO/cluster bomb casualties were recorded (35 killed and 254 injured).
		What Begin and Sharon wanted was to assure the election of Bashir Gemayel and to destroy the PLO, rather than make peace with an independent Lebanon and negotiate with the PLO - let alone "defend Israel".
