“The Progressive Conservative party was a party comfortable in its institutional skin. It extolled its roots in the Tory party of Macdonald, it felt at home in the clubs and boardrooms of Central Canada — it saw itself as part of Canadian history. It was at ease in the corridors of power and felt that it belonged there, because it had helped build them in its image.”
“The Reform and Alliance parties were outsiders. They regarded Ottawa with suspicion, even hostility. Government was a place to be cleaned up, fixed; the grassroots, not the elites, should be in charge; no one, including youth, should have ‘special status’ within the party organization. Power was to be wrested from the Laurentian elites who had held it for too long.”
