Well, to be fair, the Reform movement did spawn as a western protest to the Mulrooney "C"onservatives. It tried to broaden into a national party, but was never accepted in the east, thus the rebranding to the Canadian Alliance, which failed just as easily. And finally, remerging with the PC's
.

Im fully aware of the roots of the party...believe me.

It doesnt change the fact that it was a FEDERAL party though....but because it was born in Calgary and raised on the praries, it was seen as nothing short of the Western version of the PQ/BQ by those in Ontario and East.

That simply isnt/wasnt and never will be the truth. Revisionist history cant change that.
