The Progressive Conservative Party of New Brunswick is a right-of-centre political party in New Brunswick, Canada. It has its origins in the pre-Canadian confederation Conservative Party that opposed the granting of responsible government to the colony. Conservative supporters tended to be United Empire Loyalists and supporters of the business community.

The Tories have alternated power with the New Brunswick Liberal Party since Confederation. Though the party is more closely aligned with the business community, it tends towards a moderate Red Tory position. For most of New Brunswick's history, the party had greater support among English speakers, while the Liberals were more popular among Acadians. However, since the government of Richard Hatfield's attempts to include Acadians in the mainstream of New Brunswick life, the party has made inroads in Acadia. Current leader and Premier Bernard Lord is widely perceived to be an Acadian due to his francophone heritage and the fact that he was raised in Moncton where he attended French language schools.

The party was aligned with the historic federal Conservative party. When the federal party changed its name to the Progressive Conservatives in 1942, the New Brunswick party did the same. The federal Progressive Conservative Party dissolved in 2003, and a new Conservative Party of Canada was created.

New Brunswick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (4678 words)
New Brunswick is bounded on the north by Quebec's Gaspé Peninsula and Chaleur Bay and on the east by the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and Northumberland Strait.
New Brunswick's relative location away from the Atlantic coastline hindered new settlement during the immediate post war period; although there were some notable exceptions such as the founding of "The Bend" (present day Moncton) in 1766 by Pennsylvania Dutch settlers sponsored by Benjamin Franklin's Philadelphia Land Company.
The situation in New Brunswick was worsened by the Great Fire of 1877 in Saint John and by the decline of the wooden sailing shipbuilding industry.
