It's always that Reform/Alliance element that ends up undoing the Conservative Party. It's only a matter of time 'til these people break the public trust.
Unless I'm wrong, I can remember the Progressive Conservative Party doing themselves in long before the amalgamation with the Reform/Alliance Party.
For starters:
Canada suffered its worst recession since the Second World War,
unemployment rose to the highest levels since the Great Depression,
the federal government faced high and persistent deficits, and
the Tories had introduced a much-hated new tax, the Goods and Services Tax;
And my all time favorite:
Extensive government corruption and accusations of corruption and government mismanagement such as the Airbus affair and evidence showing Canadian peacekeapers maltreating Somalis, which resulted in the Somalia inquiry;
Or how about:
The third major factor was the rise of "western alienation" in the four provinces of western Canada as a result of attempts by both Tories and Liberals to woo Quebec. Western Canadians turned their support to the Reform Party of Canada and later to its successor, the Canadian Alliance.
Sounds like they didn't need any help from the Reform Party, but hey don't let the facts get in the way of your bias.
