integrity

Thanks to the steady leadership of the Right Hon. Joe Clark, the Progressive Conservative Party now has the largest level of support in decades. It's even more than the governing Liberals. Now is the time for the Joe Clark Conservatives to build on Joe's integrity and trust, to garner enough electoral support to govern Canada effectively.
   

liberal
woes

The leadership woes of Jean Chretien have made it easy for Paul Martin to ignore the best interests of the nation while campaigning for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada. Paul Martin has abandoned his responsibility to help govern Canada in an open and forthright manner and falls strangely silent while issues of his governments integrity and honesty are ignored.

 

 

Martin
isn't
listening

When Canadians are approached to foster support for Paul Martins leadership they should rightly ask Paul Martin why he doesn't support tax credits for Canadian students like Joe Clark and the Conservatives do and eliminated help for students in debt when he was Canada's finance minister? Under Jean Chretiens corrupt Liberal regime, Paul Martin, as finance minister, saw fit to cut aide to farmers, gut healthcare by reducing his governments 50/50 partnership with the provinces to less than 15% support today and bought our military used submarines that will cost taxpayers millions to repair? Obviously Paul Martin isn't listening to Canadians who want support for the military increased.

 

 

government
reform

Unlike the Joe Clark Conservatives, Paul Martin does not support government reform that will empower Canadians to help the government do better with less more effectively. This is what most Canadians have in mind for their future governments.

 

 

honest
open
government

The Progressive Conservative Party under Joe Clark's leadership has come a very long way in building broad electoral support at local level. By promoting conservative policies that strengthen communities the conservatives will demonstrate to the electorate they can win seats and govern by showcasing diversity by allowing constituencies to select candidates that represent the nation as a whole. All Canadians have a right to an honest and open government and the Progressive Conservative government will be just that.
