	Progressive Conservative leadership convention, 1983 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1983 Progressive Conservative leadership convention was held on June 11, 1983 in Ottawa, Ontario to elect a leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada.
		The convention became necessary when Joe Clark, who had been leader of the party since the party's 1976 leadership convention, resigned in the face of only 66.9% of the party supporting his leadership.
		At the convention, Brian Mulroney was elected leader of the PC Party on the fourth ballot.

	Leadership Convention (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		While leadership conventions have compensated to a very substantial degree for the regional imbalances of the parliamentary parties, they have at the same time effectively ended the caucus's monopoly over the selection of a party leader, with a curious result.
		The 1983 and 1984 contests, together with the Tory convention of 1976 and the Liberal one of 1990, had gained widespread attention at the time for their often bitter organizational rivalries among candidates, stacked delegate selection meetings in constituencies, and dirty tricks at the riding level.
		At the 1995 Progressive Conservative convention, at which Jean Charest was unopposed in his bid to succeed Kim Campbell, the Tories approved a proposal whereby future leaders would be chosen by a direct vote of all party members in the entire country.

	Pierre Trudeau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		At the April 1968 Liberal leadership convention, Trudeau was elected leader of the party on the fourth ballot, defeating several prominent, long-serving Liberals including Paul Martin Sr.
		Trudeau announced his intention to resign as Liberal Party leader; however, before a leadership convention could be held, Clark's government was defeated in the Canadian House of Commons by a Motion of Non-Confidence.

	Klaiber: The Church in Peru (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Progressive church leaders such as Bishop José Dammert of Cajamarca still speak out, but their influence is noticeably weakened at episcopal assemblies.
		In 1983 Cardinal Ratzinger, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, formally requested the Peruvian bishops to conduct an examination of liberation theology.
		In general this means that progressives have a twofold commitment: to encourage the growth of real lay participation in the church and to lend support and legitimacy to the popular movement.

		Campbell ran unsuccessfully for the leadership of the BC Social Credit Party in the summer of 1986 (placing last with less than a dozen votes from delegates), but was elected in October 1986 to the British Columbia Legislative Assembly as a Socred member for Vancouver-Point Grey.

		The Progressive Conservatives managed to return from the brink of destruction under Charest and Joe Clark, Although they survived as a distinct political entity for another ten years after the 1993 debacle, they never recovered their previous standing.

	Handbook of Texas Online:
		Before 1910 one Progressive boasted that reformers were "simply keeping in advance of some of their sister States in taking a good half hitch on corporations." This mood waned before World War I, and the impulse to oversee business and to pursue social reform was eroding by 1920.
		The Progressives, said Love, wanted to keep "men who wear the political collar of the liquor traffic" off the slate, but they were no match for a coalition of Ferguson backers, friends of former senator Bailey, and moderates who thought the governor was doing Wilson's bidding.
		To assist in the selection of an anti-Wilson delegation to the national convention, he became a candidate for governor early in 1920 and began a campaign that accused the Wilson administration of extravagance, softness on the race question, and usurpation of states' rights.

	Progressive Conservation Party Papers

		There was even blood on the floor after the 2003 PC convention in Toronto, when Peter MacKay won the leadership based on a deal he made behind closed doors with rival candidate David Orchard: a deal to review the effects of the free trade deal and to never make a merger with the Alliance.

		They especially choked on the agreement, “unbelievably for a Conservative leader” (Jeffrey Simpson), to an internal party review of free trade, which is “the Conservatives’ proudest legacy” and “to the Progressive Conservative Party what official bilingualism and the Charter” are to the Liberals (see previous pundits).
		Personally, I don’t see what’s wrong with a party using its leadership convention to ponder the state of its soul, including the claim that it should have no clearly definable ideological soul.
		As for hideous damage to the party, well, let’s see: The convention is still a story, a week later, due at least as much to drama as to perfidy.

	Ralph Waldo Emerson [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		The cultural milieu of Boston at the turn of the nineteenth century would increasingly be marked by the conflict between its older conservative values and the radical reform movements and social idealists that emerged in the decades leading up through the 1840s.
		Emerson was one of five surviving sons who formed a supportive brotherhood, the financial and emotional leadership of which he was increasingly forced to assume over the years.
		His essays are bound together neither by their stated theme nor the progression of argument, but instead by the systematic coherence of his thought alone.
