After the Glorious Revolution of 1688, which gave Parliament permanent supremacy over the king, the Tory party was the party of the landed aristocracy, favoring agricultural interests and the Church of England.
In 1760 the Tories regained control of the government under George III; at this time, those American colonials who supported the British in the American Revolution were known as Tories.
During the early 1830s the Tory party became known as the Conservative party and the Whig party as the Liberal party, but the term Tory is still often used as a synonym for Conservative.

The channel was reopened early this afternoon after the salmon farm, about the size of a rugby field, was secured.

The basis of this study was to compare the population biology and pre-settlement processes in two E chloroticus populations that differed both in latitude and in the hydrography of the area in which they occurred, (Doubtful Sound, Fiordland and Tory Channel, Marlborough Sounds).
Recruitment of Evechinus chloroticus was found to be greater in Doubtful Sound and the population was not recruitment-limited over the three-year period, however the Tory Channel population was recruitment-limited over the study period.
The Tory Channel may be an example of an open population.

Provincial Conservative Leader John Tory brought his campaign to get guns off the street to London on Thursday (Sept. 8th).
Tory also pointed out that crimes involving guns aren't foreign to the Forest City, alluding to the recent robbery of Anstett Jewelers and the ensuing shoot out.
He accused the Attorney-General and the Liberal government of have their priorities wrong, saying that if they spent as much time pushing for reform of the criminal justice system as they do on pit bulls some long overdue changes might be made.

Holland said the closure was not a reflection on the quality of ITN news, after a year of "good scoops and very high-profile exclusives," but was instead a "commercial decision" taken amid the rising cost of distribution.
She added that ITV was committed to providing a strong news bulletin via its core broadcasting channels and that the closure of the 24-hour channel would allow ITV to invest an extra 2 million pounds ($3.5 million) to create news bulletins for its ITV2 and ITV3 channels.
Doubts about the future of the ITN News Channel were raised last month when its hours on the popular Freeview service were cut to accommodate the new ITV4 channel.

 Prosecuting ship masters pointless, says lawyer - 03 Feb 2006 - Crime News - NZ Herald
Bluebridge ferry master David Birchall appeared in the Wellington District Court on Wednesday on charges relating to an incident where the Santa Regina came within metres of running into rocks at the Tory Channel entrance on June 9.
Maritime NZ is also charging a master and second mate of the Interislander ferry Aratere after it nearly collided with the Bow de Jin, a tanker thought to be carrying flammable material, in Wellington Harbour last April.
A Transport Accident Investigation Commission report released yesterday found that the Bluebridge ferry, with 32 crew and 57 passengers on board, had entered Cook Strait from the Tory Channel on auto-pilot about 8.10pm when the ship left the designated course, leading it perilously close to grounding on rocks off East Head.
