Young Conservatives

The PGIB Young Conservative Foundation began in 1996 and we feel that the youth are the backbone of society and are the future of Canada. PGIB Young Conservatives focus on youth issues and believe in small 'c' conservative values. We are currently working on a campaign to lower the voting age to 16 and fighting against the current Canada Pension Plan tax grab.

The Progressive Group for Independent Business Young Conservative Foundation is the youth wing of the Progressive Group for Independent Business. We are a business lobby group that feels that "Less Government Equals Lower Taxes" and that to ensure the future of Canada we must leave a financially, socially and democracy stable nation for Canada's youth.

The PGIB has been around since its founding in Ontario in 1992 by Businessman and Canadian Patriot Craig B. Chandler and has been growing into a large national movement ever since. The Progressive Group was involved with the halt of the Socialist agenda of Bob Rae and Lyn McLeod in Ontario and more recently the stripping of the title from Former Deputy Prime Minister Sheila Copps, making her only the Minister of Heritage. The Progressive Group for Independent Business is also the organization the founded and sponsors 'The Roots of Change', dedicated to uniting the right to unite the country, the lead to the founding of the Canadian Citizens' Alliance, Canada's ONLY National municipal political party.

The PGIB Young Conservative Foundation is currently leaderless with elections occuring in May 2007. All inquires can be made by contacting Julie Chandler at the PGIB National office at 403-720-2143 or toll free 1-866-725-2143 or by e-mail to administration@pgib.ca
