  Errr, uhmmm, I hate to break this to you, but John Tory has a
reputation amongst conservatives as "left-leaning".  The Ontario PC's
keep on electing "Red Tories" as leaders (Miller, Grossman, Eves, and
Tory), and small-c conservative voters stay home leading to Liberal and
NDP governments.  Note the one exception to that list in recent times.
Mike Harris got back-to-back majorities.  When will they learn?
