Liberal Party of Canada
From Conservapedia
The Liberal Party of Canada is a federal political party within the Canadian Federal Government. Other Liberal Parties exist in all of the Canadian Provinces, but not all are directly afflicated with the federal party. The recent party leader Stéphane Dion, was often portrayed as a very innefectual leader and is often lampooned in the Canadian media.[1] He was ousted as leader in December 2008 by Michael Ignatieff.
In the past, the party has been traditionally a center and slightly left of center party based chiefly in vote rich Ontario and Québec, and has been known as "Canada's Governing Party" because of the large number of elections they have won. However, the party has been rocked by a sponsorship scandal in Québec of late, and their popularity has not returned. The Liberals have not been as popular in western Canada, where voters have voted for the Conservatives.
The Liberal Party is has been plagued for years by corruption scandals. It also wholeheartedly rejects conservative and family values; it instituted socialized medicine, legalized gay marriage, decriminalized marijuana possession, upholds taxpayer-funded abortion, and affirms man-made global warming. Stéphane Dion, a former sociology professor, claims to be a devout Catholic.
The Liberal Party, and liberals in Canada are known informally as "Grits".
They are opposed by the Conservative Party, New Democratic Party and the sovereigntist Bloc Québecois.
