My Mother (rest in peace), followed the '80's and 90's quite closely, and was totally against Mulroney. She met Manning and Harper on numerous occasions, and communicated with them on issues that she wanted input. To her, it mattered that her voice was heard... they listened, and frequently responded to her concerns. She had a wealth of knowledge, and I believe helped shape Reform policy.

It's funny you say that because before the last election, I emailed the Conservative Party (and the Liberals, NDP, and Greens) and asked them about some questions and concerns I had. My email was polite, and I told them that I wasn't sure how to vote yet.
The Conservative party never emailed me back. The rest did. One of the questions I asked was if it was true that because my parents were not born in Canada, that I would not have been a citizen of Canada at birth. If it was untrue, I figured they would at least email me to clear it up.
The ironic thing is that as much as I hate Mulroney, I liked his PC party more than the New Conservative party which has way too much of a social agenda. I would vote for a Joe Clark conservative in a second, but never a Harper, Day, or Manning.
