Macquarrie counts himself among the dying breed of `Red Tories.' As an erstwhile political scientist, he is no doubt aware of the academic debate that gave birth to the term, but he makes no mention of Louis Hartz or Gad Horowitz.
Nor does he reflect deeply on the forces that gave rise to red toryism either in the region he represented or in his country as a whole.
Given what seem to be largely conventional views for Red Tories these days, it is a pity that Macquarrie refused to take a less conventional approach to his memoirs.

I'm looking for Red Tories in the original sense--the noble, old-fashioned "conservative" mix of religion, egalitarianism, self-government and national populism, which goes back to Benjamin Disraeli and John MacDonald, and found strong expression in Canada through the Progressive Conservative Party of John Diefenbaker and Robert Stanfield.

Dalton Camp, known as a red Tory for his rejection of neo-conservatism and his more "liberal" approach, died Monday at age 81 due to a stoke he suffered in February.
After losing in his attempts to be elected to the House of Commons, Camp retired from the party but kept an eye on the situation in Canada by becoming a political commentator on CBC radio's Morningside, and a columnist, twice a week, in the Toronto Star.
Although he was and is seen differently by Tories, who either love him or hate him, in a Trudeau-esque situation, all respect him.

Clark's speech was a familiar defence of the high points of the Mulroney years -- the warm relations with Washington, the daring (and divisive) constitutional initiatives, the acid rain treaty -- and also an indirect defence of his own highly partisan, almost bitter, attacks on Jean Chrétien in recent years.

Barring some surprise, the true Red Tory tradition ends this weekend along with Joe Clark's career.
