Was the Reform party really pro free trade? I distinctively remember our local MP campaigning against NAFTA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.94.176.150 (talk) 11:24, 16 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
Why name this centre-right party Reform?
When I first learnt the word conservative it was that of somebody who opposes great change in society and yet reform sounds like the opposite to that.
Surely the purpose of reform is to make a great change.49.3.72.79 (talk) 19:10, 21 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
That is not helpful. If you did not know the reason either say you did not know or don't respond at all. 49.3.72.79 (talk) 17:59, 1 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Right-wing populist Or center-right on the Canadian scale ?
What Moxy found
Reform is centre-right to right-wing as per global standards and right-wing as per the Canadian political spectrum. It's better to put right-wing in the infobox rather than centre-right to right-wing because it matches Canada's political spectrum. Ak-eater06 (talk) 22:36, 28 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
The current version of this article ([1]) states in the infobox that the Reform Party was dissolved in March 25, 2000, but that is incorrect (at least from the perspective of Elections Canada). The Chief Electoral Officer approved the Reform Party's application to change its name to Canadian Reform Conservative Alliance (short name Canadian Alliance) on April 2, 2000, retroactive to March 27, 2000. See refs at Talk:Canadian Alliance#The Canadian Alliance was the new name of the Reform Party. Mathew5000 (talk) 01:55, 27 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
It should be mentioned that this party acted a a spoiler candidate against the more moderate PCP in the reality of the first-past-the-post system. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.144.245.25 (talk) 10:29, 4 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
