| | Reform Party of Canada |
| | Reform failed to win a seat in the 1988 federal election, but its percentage of the electoral vote was encouraging, especially in Alberta. | | | Disillusionment with the traditional political parties in general, and with the PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE Party specifically, saw the Reform Party win 52 seats, 22 of 26 in Alberta, 24 of 30 in British Columbia, 4 in Saskatchewan, and one in Manitoba. | | | Although Manning portrayed his party as a national force, Reform won only one seat in Ontario, leaving it as a powerful regional voice, in counterpoise to the separatist Bloc Québécois, which took 54 seats in becoming Canada's official opposition. |

| | Capitalism Magazine: Canada's Reform Party Abandons Principles for Power by Glenn Woiceshyn |
| | Rather than take a principled approach of rationally persuading the "moderates" that slavery is evil and should be abolished, the leader of the Anti-Slavery Party proposes a United Alternative approach in order to shift the debate away from this "one-dimensional" focus on principles and towards the process by which laws are made. | | | This, in essence, is what Preston Manning is doing (whether he knows/admits it or not) with his United Alternative and his attack on the left-right model: abandoning Reform's principles for votes. | | | While this pragmatist strategy might garnish more votes (temporarily) for the Anti-Slavery Party, the principle of individual rights is abandoned. |

| | In short, Reform members and voters have a reasonable notion of the Reform message and support it. | | | Party voters meanwhile tend to 'have strong assimilationist and anti-pluralist views regarding immigration, to believe that society is too lenient with criminals, and to be strongly opposed to the notion of ''distinct society status'' for Quebec' (207). | | | Harrison claims that the party practises 'plebiscitarian democracy' in which the members are asked to approve Manning's prescribed policies and actions, sometimes after the fact. |

| | REFORM PARTY CALLS FOR CANADA TO ENCOURAGE UN REFORM |
| | OTTAWA, Nov 16 (LSN.ca) - Official Opposition Foreign Affairs Critic Bob Mills released a report yesterday articulating Reform's foreign policy in which Mills calls the United Nations "corrupt and wasteful." Mills suggests that Canada should follow the lead taken by the US of withholding funds until the international organization agrees to needed reforms. | | | Despite this, Mills says, "Canada's influence internationally has certainly declined and our voice, whether it's (in) NATO or whether it's at the UN is slowly putting us into almost Third World status." See the Ottawa Citizen at: | | | "If it fails to modernize, if it fails to reform, then it obviously would be subject to Canada saying, 'Why should we pay for something that just isn't operating?'" The paper notes that Canada pays nearly 3% or $42 million of the UN's annual operating costs and another $27 million towards UN peacekeeping. |
