| | Following Mulroney's resignation, his successor as Tory leader and as prime minister was Kim Campbell, who led the party into the disastrous election of 1993. | | | The party adopted the "Progressive Conservative" party name in 1942 when Manitoba Premier John Bracken, a long-time leader of that province's Progressive Party, agreed to become leader of the Conservatives on condition that the party add Progressive to its name. | | | Diefenbaker remained Progressive Conservative leader until 1967, when increasing unease at his reactionary policies, authoritarian leadership, and perceived unelectability led to the 1967 leadership convention where Nova Scotia Premier Robert Stanfield was elected out of a field of eleven candidates that included Diefenbaker and Manitoba Premier Duff Roblin. |

| | Progressive Conservative Party of Canada: Has the party waited to long to renew? |
| | As now witnessed by history, the provincial Tories elected a leader largely untainted by past association, made commitments for reform, and now govern the province. | | | “In this regard the party faithful - if they hope to be a credible part of future political activities in this province - have to accept that continued reform and renewal is not an option they can ignore. | | | It’s conceivable that it can use its fresh ideas to persuade voters to give it a mandate in the next election. |

| | For example, after ignoring Central America for decades, Ottawa sent a cabinet minister to Nicaragua and encouraged the Sandinistas to open a trade office in Canada for an end-run around the American boycott. | | | In Ontario, where the Tories had been in power for 42 straight years, a confident Tory majority government loafed through its campaign for this spring's election. | | | (Canada's deficits in relation to GNP are about twice as grim as the United States'.) |
