Talk:Conservative parties in Canada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For clarity, I believe that this page should be titled "Canadian right-wing political parties." My reasons are:
- "Conservative" is associated with the federal party of the same name. Confusing!
- "Right-wing" is more widely defined. Some will say you cannot be conservative AND socially liberal, for example.
- I'd like to go ahead with the change, but I'll wait to see if there are any suggestions!--Colle 02:10, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

- Sorry to disagree, but I think that this is the more likely name for people to look for when they are looking for the "conservative movement". Moreover, the old PC Party, especially when being described by its Red Tory members, did not feel that right wing was a good description for their party. - Jord 03:07, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
The article is confusing because it combines a list of provincial parties that were once connected to the former Progressive Conservative Party of Canada with some provincial and federal parties that have a right wing agenda. It excludes the right-wing Liberal Parties of Quebec and BC, which are no longer connected to the Liberal Party of Canada, but includes the Union Nationale, the Saskatchewan Party and the Social Credit Party of BC, all of which combined former provincial Liberals and Conservatives.
Maybe a better name would be "Tory Parties in Canada". --The Four Deuces 18:07, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
