The Conservative Party of Canada is doomed unless they can get a new leader. If Stephen Harper becomes the leader you can forget about the Ontario vote yet again.
As someone pointed out above it isn't the economic conservatism that is going to hurt them but the social conservatism. The PC supporters I know (Ontario based) have all sworn they would never vote Reform/Alliance. From those I have spoken to so far they just see this merger as a take over.
They feel their party has been taken from them.
