His government was initially a true coalition of Liberals and Conservatives under his leadership but soon the more radical Reformers bolted to the opposition and Sandfield Macdonald was left leading what was essentially a conservative coalition that included some Liberals under the Liberal-Conservative banner.

What was originally a party that included <a href="/wiki/Catholics" class="mw-redirect" title="Catholics">Catholics</a> and <a href="/wiki/Protestants" class="mw-redirect" title="Protestants">Protestants</a> became an almost exclusively English and Protestant party, more and more dependent on the Protestant <a href="/wiki/Orange_Institution" class="mw-redirect" title="Orange Institution">Orange Order</a> for support, and even for its leadership.

Rather than continue to oppose government spending and intervention, a policy which hurt the party politically in the time of the Great Depression, the Conservatives changed their policies to support government action where it would lead to economic growth. The party changed its name to the "Progressive Conservative" party after its federal counterpart changed its name to the <a href="/wiki/Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Canada" title="Progressive Conservative Party of Canada">Progressive Conservative Party of Canada</a> in December 1942 on the insistence of its new leader, <a href="/wiki/John_Bracken" title="John Bracken">John Bracken</a>, whose roots were in the populist <a href="/wiki/Progressive_Party_of_Canada" title="Progressive Party of Canada">Progressive Party</a>.

Drew called another election in <a href="/wiki/1945_Ontario_general_election" title="1945 Ontario general election">1945</a>, only two years into his mandate, to get a majority government. The PCs played up <a href="/wiki/Cold_War" title="Cold War">Cold War</a> tensions to win a landslide majority, though it emerged several years later that the PC government had set up a secret department of the <a href="/wiki/Ontario_Provincial_Police" title="Ontario Provincial Police">Ontario Provincial Police</a> to spy on the opposition and the media.<a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a> The PCs would dominate Ontario politics for the next four decades. Under Drew and his successor, <a href="/wiki/Leslie_Frost" title="Leslie Frost">Leslie Frost</a>, the PCs were a strong champion of rural issues but also invested heavily in the development of civil works throughout the province, including the construction of the 400 series of highways, beginning with the 401 across Toronto. On social issues, Frost's Progressive Conservative government passed anti-discrimination laws such as the Fair Employment Practices Act of 1951, the Fair Accommodation Practices Act of 1954 and the Ontario Anti-Discrimination Commission Act of 1958, advocated equal wages for women with the Act to Ensure Fair Remuneration for Female Employees, and granted <a href="/wiki/First_Nations_in_Canada" title="First Nations in Canada">First Nations</a> people the right to vote in 1955. Frost improved health care access to Ontarians through the passing of the Hospital Services Commission of Ontario Act of 1956 and the launching of the Ontario Hospital Insurance Plan program in 1959.<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a> In 1961, <a href="/wiki/John_Robarts" title="John Robarts">John Robarts</a> became the 17th premier of Ontario. He was one of the most popular premiers in years. Under Robarts's leadership, the party epitomized power, continuing Drew and Frost's policies on health care, education, infrastructure and social issues, introducing the <a href="/wiki/Ontario_Human_Rights_Code" class="mw-redirect" title="Ontario Human Rights Code">Ontario Human Rights Code</a> in 1962. He was an advocate of individual freedoms and promoted the rights of the provinces against what he saw as the centralizing initiatives of the federal government, while also promoting national unity against Quebec separatism. He hosted the 1967 "Confederation of Tomorrow" conference in Toronto in an unsuccessful attempt to achieve an agreement for a new Constitution of Canada. Robarts opposed Canadian Medicare when it was proposed, but later endorsed it fully, and the party implemented the public health care system that continues to this day. He led the party towards a civil libertarian movement. As a strong believer in the promotion of both official languages, he opened the door to French education in Ontario schools. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Big_Blue_Machine">Big Blue Machine</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Ontario&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Big Blue Machine" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> In 1971, <a href="/wiki/Bill_Davis" title="Bill Davis">Bill Davis</a> became party leader and the 18th premier. Anti-Catholicism became an issue again in the <a href="/wiki/1971_Ontario_general_election" title="1971 Ontario general election">1971 election</a>, when the Tories campaigned strenuously against a Liberal proposal to extend funding for Catholic <a href="/wiki/Separate_school" title="Separate school">separate schools</a> until <a href="/wiki/Grade_13" class="mw-redirect" title="Grade 13">Grade 13</a>. Davis reversed himself in 1985, and enacted the funding extension as one of his last acts before leaving office. Davis governed until 1985 with a team of advisers known as the "Big Blue Machine" because of their reputed political and strategic skills. Their stamp on the party was so strong that many refer to the Tories' long rule over Ontario as the "Big Blue Machine era". During its 43 years of domination, the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario was seen as a centrist party, with the Liberals being to its right and the New Democratic Party to its left. However, its base of support remained with socially conservative voters in rural Southern Ontario. Davis largely reconciled these differences and emerged one of the most popular politicians in Ontario's history. Other conservatives in the <a href="/wiki/Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Canada" title="Progressive Conservative Party of Canada">federal PC Party</a> accused him of damaging the conservative image in Canada by moving to the left on some issues. Davis continued the rapid expansion of community colleges, universities, and highways across Ontario. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1980s_to_1995:_in_Opposition">1980s to 1995: in Opposition</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Ontario&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: 1980s to 1995: in Opposition" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Ontario_(logo,_1985).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5a/Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Ontario_%28logo%2C_1985%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="141" height="60" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="141" data-file-height="60"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 141px;height: 60px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5a/Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Ontario_%28logo%2C_1985%29.jpg" data-width="141" data-height="60" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>Party logo in 1985</figcaption></figure> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Ontario_(logo,_1987).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d5/Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Ontario_%28logo%2C_1987%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="118" height="66" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="118" data-file-height="66"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 118px;height: 66px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d5/Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Ontario_%28logo%2C_1987%29.jpg" data-width="118" data-height="66" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>Party logo in 1987</figcaption></figure> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Progressiveconservativelogoearly90%27s.PNG" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b7/Progressiveconservativelogoearly90%27s.PNG" decoding="async" width="101" height="81" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="101" data-file-height="81"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 101px;height: 81px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b7/Progressiveconservativelogoearly90%27s.PNG" data-width="101" data-height="81" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>Party logo in 1990</figcaption></figure> Davis retired in 1985.

Eves was a <a href="/wiki/Red_Tory" title="Red Tory">Red Tory</a>, unlike Harris. He'd tried to blunt some of the edges of the more radical elements of Harris's platform while in Cabinet. His distancing from the Common Sense Revolution continued after he became premier. He killed plans to sell off Hydro One and re-imposed retail price controls on electricity, capping the price at 4.3 cents per kilowatt-hour, and vowing to keep it capped until at least 2006. During the summer after Eves's election as leader, the PCs closed the gap in popular support considerably, placing only two percentage points behind the Liberals in two summer public opinion polls. By the autumn of 2002, however, Eves's "honeymoon" with the voters was over, and the party fell back in the polls, hovering in the mid-to-high 30s, while the Liberals scored in the mid-to-high 40s. Despite his attempt to recast the Tory government as a moderate one, Eves was unable to reverse the slide in the polls the Tories had suffered in the last years of Harris's tenure. Eves asked Flaherty's campaign chairman, Jaime Watt, to co-manage the PC election campaign, along with the rest of the "Whiz Kids" team that had previously worked for Harris. Only <a href="/wiki/Tom_Long_(politician)" title="Tom Long (politician)">Tom Long</a>, the central organizer in Harris's campaigns, refused to work for Eves. The "Whiz Kids" reputation for competence was marred by publicity stunts such as handing down his government's second budget at the headquarters of <a href="/wiki/Magna_International" title="Magna International">Magna International</a> instead of in the provincial legislature. Voter backlash against this break with parliamentary tradition forced the delay of a planned spring election in 2003. In May 2003, Eves released the party's platform, "The Road Ahead". The document promoted an aggressive hard-right agenda, and was closer in spirit to Harris and Flaherty's agenda than to Eves's own. In releasing this document, Eves reversed his earlier positions on banning teacher's strikes, jailing the homeless, private school tax credits and <a href="/wiki/Same-sex_marriage_in_Canada" title="Same-sex marriage in Canada">same-sex marriage</a>. The platform also called for mortgage interest deductibility. The PC election campaign was riddled with mistakes and miscues, and Eves appeared uncomfortable trying to sell a platform he had opposed only a year earlier. In contrast, the Liberals had spent the last four years positioning themselves as the government in waiting, and ran on the simple platform of "Choose Change". PC television ads which attacked Liberal leader <a href="/wiki/Dalton_McGuinty" title="Dalton McGuinty">Dalton McGuinty</a> as "still not up to the job" were received poorly by the voting public, and allowed the Liberal campaign to portray the Tories as needlessly confrontational. A critical point in the campaign was when a member of the Eves team jokingly referred to McGuinty as an "<a href="/wiki/Evil_reptilian_kitten-eater_from_another_planet" class="mw-redirect" title="Evil reptilian kitten-eater from another planet">evil reptilian kitten-eater from another planet</a>", a comment that made the Tories appear desperate to vilify their opponents. In the final days leading up to the vote, Eves was further criticized for saying that McGuinty just says "whatever comes into his pointy little head". On election day, the Tories were routed, falling to 24 seats. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Opposition_under_John_Tory_(2004_to_2009)">Opposition under John Tory (2004 to 2009)</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Ontario&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Opposition under John Tory (2004 to 2009)" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:John_Tory.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/47/John_Tory.jpg/220px-John_Tory.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="747" data-file-height="496"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 146px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/47/John_Tory.jpg/220px-John_Tory.jpg" data-width="220" data-height="146" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/47/John_Tory.jpg/330px-John_Tory.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/47/John_Tory.jpg/440px-John_Tory.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>John Tory, leader (2004–2009)</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Ontario_(logo,_2006-2010).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/05/Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Ontario_%28logo%2C_2006-2010%29.jpg/220px-Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Ontario_%28logo%2C_2006-2010%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="148" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="325" data-file-height="219"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 148px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/05/Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Ontario_%28logo%2C_2006-2010%29.jpg/220px-Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Ontario_%28logo%2C_2006-2010%29.jpg" data-width="220" data-height="148" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/05/Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Ontario_%28logo%2C_2006-2010%29.jpg 1.5x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>Ontario PC logo, 2006–2010</figcaption></figure> In early 2004, Eves announced his intention to step down as leader.

The party was virtually tied with the Liberals, as Tory has experimented with several different orientations. During his first year as leader, Tory attempted to rise above partisan politics, openly contemptuous of partisan moves and pledging to improve decorum in the legislature. In his second year as leader, Tory adopted a more traditional approach to the issues, sharply opposing the Liberal plans on taxes, spending, deficits and cuts. Heading into the election year, Tory put most of his emphasis on criticizing the government's handling of a standoff with <a href="/wiki/Mohawk_people" title="Mohawk people">Mohawk</a> aboriginals in <a href="/wiki/Caledonia,_Ontario" title="Caledonia, Ontario">Caledonia</a> in order to portray the government as weak. He also emphasized traditional right-wing issues like taxes, crime and government spending. During the 2006 PC Policy Convention, Tory introduced his plan for shaping up the PCs' platform for the <a href="/wiki/2007_Ontario_general_election" title="2007 Ontario general election">2007 election</a> campaign. His ideas were stated in what have been called "The White Papers".<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> The party experienced a drop in popularity, however, after Tory pledged to provide government funding for <a href="/wiki/Faith-based_school" class="mw-redirect" title="Faith-based school">faith-based schools</a>.
