Alright, there's clearly an edit war going on here. SimonP, 149, why don't you take it here to Talk: instead of just reverting over and over again? Bryan ummmmmmm what is the political symbol for the canadian alliance??how about you guys answer that
In response to the assertion the Reform votes did not come from the NDP, there is actually a fair bit of evidence that this did occur and that many of Reforms, and the CA supporters outside of Alberta were former NDP supporters. In general these are voters who dislike both major parties and vote for the strongest third party challenger. Look at the long NDP hled ridings in Manitoba and Saskatechewan that went for Reform in 1993. For other evidence see: [1] [2] - SimonP 19:01, Oct 19, 2003 (UTC)
Green and Blue VS Blue and Green, since the party accepts Green as official since Blue was used by the PC's in responce to the Reform/NDP... those ridings voted for Populists, and the CA became Populist, hence, the CA DID pick up some NDP supporters, but, most of those supporters were themselvs former SC supporters.

The Conservative Party is socially progressive? Does anyone but the anonymous editor agree with this? I bet the gay and lesbian couples who would have the legal recognition of their marriages taken away if Stephen Harper and 95% of the CPC caucus had their way would disagree. I don't want to get into an edit war with someone who isn't willing to put his/her name to his/her edits, so help me out here, please. Kevintoronto 13:05, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
This is a useless link. The anonymous editor who keeps putting this in should read what that article has to say before linking to it. Here is the main part of that article:
What does this have to say about the Reform Party of Canada or the Canadian Alliance? Really not very much. The rest of the article provides links to various reform movements in the US, especially those in the arts. Thanks, SimonP, for keeping on top of this.Kevintoronto 17:49, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Please see Talk:Reform Party of Canada for my proposed compromise to resolve this. Thanks. Kevintoronto 19:10, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Wikipedia naming conventions are to use the most common name, and Canadian Alliance is by far the most common. - SimonP 07:12, Jan 14, 2005 (UTC)
What is the differ between center-right and right-of-center? Michaelm 4 July 2005 21:36 (UTC)
Unfortunate acronym early on, CCRAP. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-party-changes-embarrassing-acronym-1.240933 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.55.29.76 (talk) 15:17, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The Canadian Alliance does not belong in that box. It was never called the "Tories", and actually refuted the name "tory".Habsfannova 23:14, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The Reform Party of Canada is the same party as the Canadian Alliance. Reform was renamed the Canadian Alliance in 2000 and had minor changes to its official positions and the Canadian Alliance was dominated by former Reform MPs. There are too little differences for there to be a Reform Party of Canada article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.95.161.40 (talk) 19:26, 12 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]
Image:Reform.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Per WP:BRD, the lead remains in status quo form, until/if a consensus can be reached for a change. Attempts to 'edit-war' in changes, is disruptive. GoodDay (talk) 03:02, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
In terms of its registration with Elections Canada, the Canadian Reform Conservative Alliance was not a new party, but rather the new name of the Reform Party of Canada, effective on 2000-MAR-27. Preston Manning was leader of the Canadian Alliance in April 2000, according to the website of Elections Canada. Here are relevant links from the Internet Archive Wayback Machine:
Chief Electoral Officer Jean-Pierre Kingsley decided in favour of a request by former Reform leader Preston Manning to change the Reform Party's name to Canadian Reform Conservative Alliance.
Motivated by discussion at Wikipedia talk:Canadian Wikipedians' notice board#Preston Manning as leader of the Reform Party - succeeded by "position abolished" or by "Deborah Grey as leader of the Canadian Alliance". Mathew5000 (talk) 02:02, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
