Mark Parent: Progressive Conservatives

Progressive Conservatives: Mark Parents Nov. 14 online opinion piece in which he explains the death of Red Toryism reminded me of the famous quote attributed to Mark Twain: Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated, according to The Chronicle Herald. One of the reasons why I voted in favour of the merger between the Progressive Conservatives and the Canadian Alliance almost 10 years ago along with Scott Brison and many others at the national convention regional meeting Mr. Parent described is that the founding principles of the new Conservative party were nearly identical to that of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada and As fellow Progressive Conservatives who worked together albeit in different roles in John Hamms government, Mark Parent and I agree on more things than we disagree. I therefore hope he will accept this different point of view in the respectful spirit I am expressing it. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
