The group includes former national party vice-president Violet Motherall and Olive MacPhail, former co-chair of Joe Clark's 1983 leadership campaign.
"We are concerned that people who have supported the tolerant, moderate Progressive Conservative party may be misled by the name of the new Conservative party," the group said in a release issued on Monday.
Also a CTV article.....
Another group of former Progressive Conservatives -- including a former Tory MP -- have decided to back the federal Liberals.
"We are concerned that people who have supported the tolerant, moderate Progressive Conservative party may be misled by the name of the new Conservative party," the group said in a news release Monday.
"The new party is not the Progressive Conservative party for whom many have worked and voted in the past."

Kinda wierd how the official organisations keep moving right while groups of actual INFORMED PEOPLE keep breaking off and moving left. Maybe there's more to this election than the papers are saying, eh?

I keep thinking of the article about the year of the monkey. It just keeps ringing true. Nothing can be taken for granted it seems. Look at other elections. Spain, Britain, India, Poland. (Poland had only 17% of the population vote! I guess you can't really call them a democracy yet?)
The See Pee people moving to the Liberals just moved into the next room, not a big leap.
