Conservative Party - MSN Encarta (786 words)
The Progressive Conservative Party developed in largely French-speaking Canada East (now Québec) and English-speaking Canada West (now Ontario) in the 1850s when both were part of the British colony of Canada.
From the beginning the party was defined by cautious loyalty to traditional authorities and interests, and in particular to the monarchy of Britain and the traditions of British Toryism.
Under his leadership the Conservatives were the dominant Canadian political party for the remainder of the 19th century.
