Ontario的PC和西部的Conservative根本不是一回事

ontario的PC可不是federal的conservative, 两个有着巨大的差别。。
ontario的PC有优良的传统,又连续50几年执政的辉煌战绩，原因就是这个progressive
（即中间作派，和paul martin的lib一致）在其中起作用。如果抛弃这个金字招牌，那这
个党在ontario就很快会死掉的。这也就是为什么ontario的PC始终不改成和alberta的
conservative一个名字的原因。
federal的conservative是由原来的alliance组成的，主要成员都是极端的右派和原教旨主义的宗教信徒比如ontario 名声级差的mike harris, tony clemens和当年要把homeless关进监狱的那个家伙(名字一时想不起来了)和那帮西部的如stockwell day, manning等。西部原来有PC政党主席是前总理Joe Clarke(他是alberta人)，不过这个党不得势被alliance吞并，成为现在的conservative. 这个事件后，Joe Clarke等联邦PC中的中间派宣布退出新的conservative, 并在上次选举中建议选民支持自由党。联邦的老PC和现在Ontario的PC是一脉相承的。

Ontario PC的现任领袖John Tory是PC中的左派（和liberal中的右派没有区别的），因此可以赢得一些中间选民的心。
