 | | Belinda Stronach, a member of the new party and relative newcomer to politics who placed second in the first Conservative leadership election, spoke up for government intervention to ensure growth in the economy, and generally stood against social conservatism, particularly in her personal support for same-sex marriage. | | | Thus, in the 2004 Conservative Party leadership election, Tony Clement was sometimes referred to as a Red Tory even though Clement was on the right wing of the Mike Harris cabinet. | | | Many others have been influential as Cabinet Ministers and thinkers, such as and E. |

| | Vive le Canada - Red-Tory-Blue-Liberal party? |
| | Be they Liberal or liberal, New Democrats or democrats, Green voters or voters who want a green country, or even Red Tories searching for a home, these bloggers believe that Canadian politics should move in a progressive direction. | | | The main problem appears to be that neither party can deliver what the majority of voters want. | | | Such a Red/Blue "coalition" of mainstream ideas and concepts would, in my opinion, appeal to the average Canadian voter. |
