Interesting pair of definitions. However neither really compare to the US Progressives.
Perhaps the worst part of the Progressives is that they fervantly wish the Constitution did not exist!

One has to be careful when using words that are rather overused, and refer to multiple movements each with different ideologies values and beliefs.

For example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progres...arty_of_Canada

Progressive has a radically different meaning in this context, the one I am most familiar with.
