Canadian Political Party

The Northern Ontario Party was busy this past weekend with hosting their first AGM at Kettle Lakes Provincial Park near Timmins Ontario. But when the dust settled the Northern Ontario Party had its first truly elected executive board in the Party’s history. The NOP is proud to announce that the members have overwhelmingly voted in favor of keeping the present board intact with a 96% approval rating. There was only one slight move in the executive board, that being long-term Party President Edward Deibel will now sit on the board in the role of Party Founder and Director. Ed will continue to have a say in the Party’s direction as well as maintain his role as mentor and will give guidance to current and future board members.

When it comes to the Liberals and Progressive-Conservatives having nearly identical policies by the mid-1980s I cannot help but wonder whether the Liberals enacted these policies based on their own changing ideology or whether it was to try undercut the Progressive-Conservatives' growing popularity. Regardless, it seems apparent that by the early-1980s that the Liberal's government-driven, top-down, style Canadian

In the the year of 1912, during the primary elections when primaries gave Theodore Roosevelt a shot at 362 votes, he stunned the party by walking away with 278 of them with Taft finishing a far second, with 48. Deep in the 36 states without primaries, Roosevelt was outran by the so called chiefs. During June, when delegates headed to a national convention, Taft's men flaunted that Taft had 557 votes, which was 17 more than he needed for the nomination. Roosevelt saw that his primary delegates and his delegates from renegade factions elsewhere had left him about 70 votes short. Roosevelt was furious and courageous enough that he accused the Republicans as thieves and dashed out of the convention. After the loss he kept his candidacy alive on a brand-new ticket of his own creation, the National Progressive Party, also known as the Bull Moose Party. Roosevelt went by the idea that the government should be there for the people; to serve the people. Their first task was to

The Conservatives were merged from two parties: the Progessive Conservatives and the Canadian Alliance. Under the leading of former leader Brian Mulroney, the party went to the right-wing direction who called for lower taxes, deregulated, and privatized government which can generate greater wealth and prosperity of the people. The party values and respects traditions and holds conservative opinions on sensitive topics.

Tom Mulcair will try to make Canada a better country to live in and to make a better and sustainable life for adults, children and seniors. Not everyone is getting the job they want and Tom Mulcair will try his best to change that to full employment. Everyone will receive the same high standard of health care. Child poverty rate is only 1%, it will be 20%. Access to education is available to anyone who wants and needs it. NDP will fight for EPA (education protection act). National debt will be improved to a better standard. Tom Mulcair will help anyone he can. Every chance he gets he’ll try to bring people together. He will give kids a better experience. Tom Mulcair will provide seniors things they need. He is going to give middle-class families

It is important that a party has a well rounded campaign that addresses the needs and ideas of different groups because a country contains people with different ethnics, race and genders. These people are part of the whole population and should be acknowledged as well as receiving equal rights as other groups. By addressing different groups the political party and the citizens both benefit. The group will feel as though their needs are being met and feel secure under the hands of the party. On the other hand, the party will earn their respect and ultimately their votes. Political party such as Liberal Party of Canada has successfully met the standards of being well rounded, as their politics involve positive changes for different groups. Canada

Why the Liberal Party Would Get my Vote The Liberal Party of Canada believes that the dignity of each individual man and woman is the fundamental principle of democratic society. The Liberal Party of Canada recognizes human dignity and provides equality of opportunity for all persons. The Liberal party's ideology is that every individual is able to keep their beliefs, values, religion, and traditions which is the enhancement of a unique and diverse community.

The Liberal Party's membership of Canada is committed to the fundamentals that have developed and sustained the Liberal Party from any other political party; individual freedom, responsibility and human dignity in the framework of a just society; political freedom in the framework of meaningful participation by all interested persons, and the Constitution and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms provides the framework for both a democratic society and for the interaction of members within the party. It is also devoted to equal opportunity for every person, to the enhancement of our unique and diverse cultural community, to the recognition that English and French are the official languages of Canada, and to the preservation of the Canadian identity

If the New Democratic Party gains power, they are going to make the health care in Canada better for citizens. Health care is definitely a very important factor in keeping everyone in Canada happy and healthy. Without healthcare, we will get sick more frequently, and not going to regular checkups will make diseases more likely to affect us negatively. The NDP is proposing to end the fees for ambulance services. This will make people more likely to call an ambulance instead of taking a chance of driving themselves. This could save lives because ambulances are much faster than driving yourself in a car because people are required by law to move out of the way of an incoming ambulance on the road. The NDP is saying to give seniors the support they need to live in their own homes instead of being forced to move to an old age home when they get to old to care for themselves or when loved ones and family can no longer care for them. If they get support in their homes, they will not need to go through the stress of moving to a different environment in their late age. If they reduce their stress to as little as possible, they will be more prone to a longer life span. The NDP is promising a fifty percent increase in the number of doctors and nurses being trained each year, so that there is more available in hospitals and emergency

The Four Political Parties of Canada       In a country as vast and as culturally diverse as Canada, many different political opinions can be found stretched across the country. From the affluent neighbourhoods of West Vancouver to the small fishing towns located on the east coast of Newfoundland, political opinions and affiliations range from the left wing to the right wing. To represent these varying political views, Canada has four official national political parties to choose from: the Liberals (who are currently in power), the Progressive Conservatives, the New Democrats, and the Reform Party. What is particularly interesting is that none of the latter three parties compose Her Majesty's Official Opposition in the House

If given the opportunity, I would immediately choose to join the Liberal party of Canada. Personally, I consider myself and my beliefs to be generally on the “centre-left wing” of the political spectrum, which falls perfectly under the radar of Liberal beliefs. I believe that I am an informed citizen because I am passionate and updated on current social issues occurring in our society. I vigorously agree with the values that the Liberals possess, such as equality and social development. As well, the Liberal objective is to create the ideal society where all citizens are equals in order to benefit a larger group of people. Whereas the opposing party; the Conservatives, focus on individual welfare which I disagree with. Contemporary situations

Now that you are up to date with currents events I will briefly touch on some strong point of the Canadian democratic system. Citizens in Canada indirectly hold power in a free electoral system and are given better representation and more freedoms for their citizens than other systems of government. The freedom of speech, freedom of political expression, and the freedom of the media allow citizens to vote in favour of their own interest. Democracy in Canada is rooted on the grounds of equal rights; this gives people equality before the law, human rights, free and fair elections and so on. In comparison to the Third World, power is in the hands of the “Big Men”, the police and army are the ones who hold control not the people and where corruption is a norm, Canada may look like a utopia. Another strong point in the Canadian political system is everyone no matter race or sex has the right to vote as long as you are a Canadian citizen over the age of eighteen. Until the 60s/70s parties would make up electoral boundaries this was done to increase the number of votes in that location this is called gerrymander, this was unfair because certain parties had an advantage over others. However, now under the Electoral Boundaries Commissions this problem does not occur and no party has the upper hand over another. Interestingly the

Canadian Political Culture, in a nation- state context, can be break down as beliefs and attitudes that Canadian have of political objects( Jackson, Politics in Canada.1994).

Pierre Elliot Trudeau and Martin Brian Mulroney were both greatly renowned Canadian prime ministers for their time. Trudeau being the ladies man and Mulroney being the strait arrow ,they were both complete opposites. Mulroney was as conservative as Trudeau was a liberal.

In the western part of Canada, aside from Alberta, usually, politics showcased NDP or CCF on the left side, while some other political party on the right side. The current epitome of the BC Liberal Party accomplishes this role in British Columbia according to BC Politics. This British Columbia political party is neutral federally and it acquires its associates from the center going to the center right. The Social Credit Party of BC suffered several scandals, and plummeted in popularity polls and get replace with NDP. The revival of the Liberal Party caused a split in the moderate/conservative vote, however, and led to a ten-year period of NDP rule in B.C. from 1991 to 2001. Social Credit Party era is ended by NDP in 1991 and NDP hold onto power
