  • “reformers who can turn anger into policy; elite factions willing to break with the status quo; a crisis that makes delay more dangerous than the reform. If someone is not falling into these roles, they are the anti-reformer. They are the enemy. They want the status quo.”

(Canadian politics) A member of the Reform Party of Canada, which existed from 1987 to 2000.

For parents

Reformer means: A member of the Reform Party of Canada, which existed from 1987 to 2000.. It is mainly Canadian English and may not be understood outside that context. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.

For ESL learners

Reformer means: A member of the Reform Party of Canada, which existed from 1987 to 2000.. Register: informal, Canadian English. Often not understood outside its region; gloss the word on first use when writing for an international audience. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.
