Label TextThe modern Conservative Party originated in 1854 in Sir John A. Macdonald and George-Étienne Cartier's Liberal-Conservative coalition. A variant of this coalition formed the first government in Ontario with John Sandfield Macdonald as premier. Until becoming the Progressive Conservatives in 1942, the party was officially known as the "Liberal-Conservative Association of Ontario," reflecting its liberal-conservative origins.
