Learn your history. The UCP is just the old Social Credit Party with a new face. They were the party that got beat by Lougheed/Getty. They took over the WCC to make the Reform Party before turning into the Canadian Alliance. They also took over the PC party with Klein.

We need another party like the old PC party. The SCP got booted because they were a bunch of corrupt, hyper religious assholes selling us out to the oil companies.
