	Freedom Party International - Consent 19 - October 1993
		Secondly, although the Reform Party, I agree, is far from the ideal party in what we might be looking for in a political party, I still think that, as a federal option, its platform is closest to Freedom Party's in many significant respects.
		Reformers have to be able to handle that issue a little better and learn, for example, why it's the parties in power who are advancing racist agendas.
		When parties are in such a bad position that they start changing electoral laws immediately prior to an election --- to rig the election in their favour --- we know we're talking about parties that are in big trouble with the electorate.

	Archive \| March 1998 \| Reform's biggest salesman
		Reform, armed with a Quebec policy more in line with the rest of Canada than the Tories, is in a good position to grow.
		Reform however can now play more of a waiting game, on that front, allowing the Tories to self-destruct rather than compromising their own principles in merger talks.
		Reform now needs to focus efforts toward reaping the harvest of fellow conservatives in Ontario and the Maritime provinces who are likely to now be out shopping for a new political party after Jean Charest's latest decisions.

		Reform made its break-through when Reform Party's Deborah Grey won a seat in the House of Commons with a federal by-election win in a north Edmonton riding in 1989.
		Reform Party was the only federal political party represented in the House of Commons that rejected the Charlottetown Accord.
		The party came into being without a constitution or a set of policies: the merger was ratified with each party's members hoping that, after the merger, they would have enough power to determine the direction of the party.

	Reform Party of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The party was the brainchild of a group of discontented Western interest groups who were upset with the PC government and the lack of a voice for Western concerns at the national level.
		While the Reform Party had similar views to APEC's on official bilingualism and the role of Quebec in the confederation, the reasons for the racist Heritage Front's endorsement were less direct.
		The party was considerably hampered in its efforts to reach francophone voters due to Manning's inability to speak French; there was also a perception of the party as being anti-Quebec due to its position on official bilingualism and its opposition to the Meech Lake Accord.

	Ontario Reform oblivious to grassroots supporters - Interim, September 1997
		The March, 1996 fiasco of the dismissal of a pro-life Reform campaign manager in the Etobicoke North by-election was the first indication that something was seriously amiss in the Ontario branch of the party.
		Ontario Reform, taking it one step further by totally avoiding any identification with pro-life, appears to be the tail that may wag the dog on this trend.
		It hopes that the problems of Ontario and the referenda policy will eventually be resolved in due time to allow the party to have a greater positive influence in defence of life and family.

	Reform Party of Ontario - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Reform Party of Ontario was, until September 2003, a pseudo party that ran one candidate each election merely to keep the party’s name in the possession of the Reform Party of Canada.
		The Reform Party of Ontario is not to be confused with the pre-Confederation Reform Party, which later became the Liberal Party of Ontario, or with the leftist United Reform party of the 1940s.
		Reform Ontario now appears to have been superseded by the Representative Party of Ontario, which was formed by and is led by Bill Cook, a former Reform Ontario activist.

		The two conservative parties in Ontario were splitting the vote and allowing Liberals to win seats in a walk.
		But Reform was too regional and too extreme to be taken seriously as a national alternative; practically all their seats were in Western Canada.
		The new party was called the Canadian Alliance, and the hope was that this party would attract so many disgusted former PCs that it would put the PC Party out of business and be the national alternative to the Liberals.

		Not surprisingly, with this kind of discouragement from the party leadership, not many resolutions originating with the grassroots have ever got to be official party policy and so is the plight of the Liberal Party member who is forced to toe party line no matter how much it hurts their honest conscience.
		Canadian Grassroots.ca remembers the Reform movement was born in the late 80's and early 90's to establish a new, innovative grassroots-driven major political party.
		Reform increased its seat count to 52 members from 0, saw its popular vote rise by over 2.5 million votes to 18%, elected one brand new MP in Ontario and placed second in 56 ridings in Ontario.

	Reform Party, Continued
		In early 1991, the Reform Party in Ontario was concerned about groups which might disrupt or even possibly try to take over or at least discredit their fledgling riding associations.
		Reg Gosse, Chairman of the Ontario Expansion of the Reform Party at the time, stated that he asked Overfield if all of his personnel on the security team were bailiffs.
		John Thompson, a Reform member and advisor, said that the Party should expect a lot of the CARP people, possibly hundreds, to show up at the planned major rally in Mississauga.[20] Consequently, the organizers wanted adequate crowd control, and the Reform leader Preston Manning had to be protected.

		These are grotesque exaggerations, refuted in innumerable ways by the words and deeds of the party and its leader, but they have planted just enough fear in the hearts and minds of Liberal, Conservative, NDP and non-aligned voters in Ontario and Atlantic Canada to stunt the new party's electoral potential.
		Some Alliance supporters in Ontario think they won at least a few backlash votes as a result of an exceptionally hateful attack on their party in the Toronto Star, the largest circulation and most obviously partisan Liberal newspaper in the country.

		But once again the right-wing vote in Ontario was split, giving victory to dozens of Liberals who would have lost their seats to a single right-wing opponent.
		In at least 25 ridings the combined Reform and PC vote was more than the Liberal, but the Liberal won because of the split.
		A perfect outcome for Ontario voters ‹ who historically put the interests of the country ahead of their regional concerns.

	LIBERAL REFORM PARTY ORGANIZER'S POSITION IN JEOPARDY
		PETERBOROUGH, Ontario, July 10 (LSN) - On Tuesday, the Peterborough Examiner revealed in an interview with Reform Party Eastern Ontario organizer Nancy Branscombe that she had lied on CBC Newsworld's "On The Line" program calling herself "Betty from London" and a Tory party member.
		The incident is a national embarrassment for the Reform Party which has rightly criticized former Conservative Paul Reitsma for issuing letters to the editor under false names.
		Nancy Branscombe was awarded top positions in the Reform Party as Reform Party Eastern Ontario organizer and in August the national Reform leadership in Calgary chose her to be the executive director of an important "unite-the-right" initiative to increase its support in Ontario.

		The Ontario Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform, composed of 103 randomly chosen voters, has been empowered by the Government of Ontario to study and recommend a new provincial voting system.
		Typically, a party gets about 40 percent of the votes, wins 60 percent or more of the seats and then wields 100 percent of the power, as though it had a majority mandate.

		Along with his wife and daughter, in 1993 Hood registered a new political party, the Labour Party of Ontario (Canada) after trying unsuccessfully to register the name Reform Party of Ontario.
		According to political consultant Graham Murray, Hood registered this new party "as a vehicle to run anti-NDP candidates." Although this never happened, according to Murray, this new party was an attempt by Hood to hurt the Rae government "in the dispute between labor and the government over the social contract."
