	Conservative Party of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Conservative Party of Canada (French: Parti conservateur du Canada), colloquially known as the "Tories", is a right-of-centre political party in Canada, formed by the merger of the Canadian Alliance and the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada in December 2003.
		Early on in the campaign, Ontario MP Scott Reid indicated his feelings as Tory language critic that the policy of official bilingualism was unrealistic and needed to be reformed.
		The Conservatives' announcements played to Harper's strengths as a policy wonk[6], as opposed to in the 2004 election and summer 2005 where he tried to overcome the perception that he was cool and aloof.

	[No title]
		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).
		A Progressive Conservative government in Ontario may also assist the recently reconstituted federal Conservative Party (formed in December 2003 out of the merger of the Canadian Alliance and the "ultra-moderate" federal Progressive Conservatives) in winning a larger share of Ontario seats in the federal Parliament, thereby finally offering a chance of displacing the federal Liberals.

	Canada's conservatives shift right \| csmonitor.com
		Increasingly, conservatives are trying to capitalize on a backlash by Canada's "silent majority" - those who think that the country has lurched too far to the left.
		The shift to the right is a stunning departure for the Conservatives here, who have reigned over one of the most tumultuous political periods in Ontario's history - seven years of often violent protests and strikes in reaction to an agenda of deep tax cuts and smaller government.
		While the Conservatives, or Tories, have looked south to the Republicans in the United States for help in building their Common Sense Revolution, they have consistently governed as fiscal rather than social conservatives.
