Red Toryism is Canada's founding form of conservatism. It is a paternalistic form of Toryism which took strong influence from the One-Nation Conservatism of British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield. Red Toryism has a long history in Canada. Notable Canadian Red Tories include the likes of Sir John A. MacDonald, John Diefenbaker, Robert Stanfield, George Grant, Sir Robert Borden, Joe Clark, Kim Campbell, David Orchard, Hugh Segal, and etc.

The term was originally coined by Professor Gad Horowitz to describe the difference between American conservatism and Canadian conservatism, and how Canadian conservatism historically was much more classically conservative, paternalistic, and communitarian. The term has experienced a bit of definition drift as of late, and has come to be used to mean a moderate member of the Conservative Party of Canada. This has caused some confusion amongst Politicos as to what a Red Tory is today. This subreddit will serve as a place for both varieties, as well as anyone who wishes to participate.

Since the merger of the Alliance Party & Progressive Conservatives, Red Tories can now be found in practically every Canadian political party.

Red Toryism est l'idéologie fondatrice du conservatisme au Canada. C'est une forme paternaliste de toryisme qui a pris une forte influence du conservatisme One-nation du premier ministre britannique Benjamin Disraeli, 1er comte de Beaconsfield. Red Toryisme a une longue histoire au Canada. Des notables Red Tory incluent Sir John A. MacDonald, John Diefenbaker, Robert Stanfield, George Grant, Sir Robert Borden, Joe Clark, Kim Campbell, David Orchard, Hugh Segal, etc.

Le terme a été inventé par le professeur Gad Horowitz pour décrire la différence entre le conservatisme américain et le conservatisme canadien, et comment le conservatisme canadien était historiquement beaucoup plus classiquement conservateur, paternaliste et communautaire. Le terme a connu un peu de d'évolution de définitions, et est maintenant aussi utilisé pour désigner un membre modéré du Parti conservateur du Canada. Cela a crée de la confusion chez les Politicos sur ce qu'est un Red Tory aujourd'hui. Ce sous-reddit servira comme un lieu pour les deux variétés, ainsi que pour toute d'autre personne.

Depuis la fusion du Parti de l'Alliance et des progressistes-conservateurs, les Red Tory se retrouvent maintenant dans pratiquement tous les partis politiques canadiens.
