Disgruntled Tories consider refounding Reform Party
Ottawa — Somewhere in Kingston Saturday, a small group of disaffected Conservatives will meet to discuss what would have been unfathomable in the heady days that followed the last federal election: refounding the Reform Party.

Organizers say they have room for just 30 people, but that this weekend's event is a mere prelude to a much larger meeting later this month.

“It's now or never,” the online invitation says. “This new party will never be infiltrated by Red Tories, special interest groups or Quebec again.”

In another part of the country, Link Byfield is writing columns for his Citizens Centre for Freedom and Democracy that criticize the policies of the federal Conservatives.

1. One of the posts on the Globe message board reads, in part:

Don Wilson from Debert, NS, Canada writes: As badly as I wouldn't want to split the conservative vote , I can't vote for Steve and Jim - they have NO crediability {sic} left after lying to Canadians about the Income Trust taxing and breaking the Atlantic accord on off-shore oil/gas revenue. And then there is the hugh gift to Quebec at the expense of all Canadian workers...

That's right, he actually spelled it hugh!!!111 I'm series!!!!1111

I think it's something in the neocon genetic makeup. Absolutely "incrediable"...
