The central tenets of conservatism may vary in relation to the culture and civilization in which it appears.

Reform Movement (pre-Confederation Canada)
The Reform movement in Upper Canada was a political movement in British North America in the mid-19th century. It started as a rudimentary grouping of loose coalitions that formed around contentious issues. Support was gained in Parliament through petitions meant to sway MPs.
