A community portal about Liberal Party of Canada with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: The Liberal Party of Canada, colloquially known as the Grits, is a Canadian federal political party positioned around the centre of the political spectrum, combining a progressive social policy with moderate economics. The party has been frequently dubbed "Canada's natural governing party", since it has been in power most of the time since the Great Depression, and starting with Wilfrid Laurier in 1896 every leader of the party has served as Prime Minister of Canada. The party has formed the Official Opposition in the Parliament of Canada since February 2006.

Rae informed his supporters of his decision during a conference call this morning and is to make it official at a news conference later today.

If former Liberal candidate Lesley Hughes is an antisemite, then George Bush is Mahatma Ghandi, Stephen Harper is Mother Theresa and Stephane Dion is capable of leading Canada. Of course, none of the above is true. In dumping Hughes, a well respected Winnipeg journalist and social activist, Dion has buckled under the pressure of the pro-Israel lobby and proven himself incapable of developing independent foreign policy for Canada. How else are we to judge a man who accepts the nonsense that any criticism of Israel, no matter how minor, is antisemitic? The article that cut short Hughes brief career as a Liberal candidate, Get ... Read Full Story

TV Ontario's The Agenda debates the question of how long Stephane Dion and the Liberal Party can, or should, endure the Conservative government's electoral brinksmanship.
