What about if you are getting a permanent cold shoulder and the party is starting to move closer to the Reform party. It wouldn't be good for the party, in my view, or the country for that matter, and most certainly I would continue to oppose such a step. In my view the party can only accomplish this by is to go back to its roots of standing for a strong and independent Canada, and this is something I articulated all through the campaign. I don't think there is any other route for the party to get back into power, and I think that is what our country urgently needs. The alternative must be rooted in the vision of the great founders of the Conservative Party that stood for an independent Canada and applied to the condition in which we find ourselves today.
Financing can be a heavy burden.
Of course, communication is the key to everything, so we depend on help from people in terms of both time and money. And Citizens Concerned About Free Trade of course always needs funds to be able to function effectively. I believe that what we accomplished by getting almost a quarter of the votes in a major established party should be analyzed and consolidated, rather than taking a brand-new step in a different direction at this time.
