Cowboy89 had a great post on this earlier but issues do you view as strictly economic and strictly social? Even something like cutting taxes and reducing spending generally has a social side effect of reducing the amount of services for the poor and disadvantaged.

Regardless, if he's seeking the PC leadership he needs to at least attempt to appeal to the socially progressive wing of the party or you'll likely see a more moderate candidate take the leadership, or vote-splitting that allows for another Stelmach/Redford candidate to slide up the middle.
