Comparing Canadian Federal Political Parties

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.

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

The two largest American political parties are organized by three levels: local, state, and national. The first and lowest level of organizing political parties is the local party organizations. The local party organizations handle many of the basic responsibilities. For example, finding and assembling potential voters and contributors, finding and preparing qualified candidates for public office, and rounding up new representatives for the party. They are also responsible for holding regular meetings to ensure that elections are managed adequately. The second level of organizing political parties is the state party organizations. The state party organizations are responsible for major party functions. For instances, they handle fundraising

The Liberal Party is the oldest and most dominant federal level political party in Canada. The party was founded on July 1st, 1867 and has since provided Canada with 10 Prime Ministers. (Clarkson & McCall, 12) The party originated during the mid-19th century when the English and French colonies of Lower Canada (Quebec) and Upper Canada (Ontario) formed opposition groups. ‘The Grits’ of Upper Canada lead by George Brown and the ‘Parti Rouge’ (Reds) of Lower Canada. (Rayside, 2016) In the late 1850’s these two groups briefly consolidated to form a government, which ultimately failed and resulted in separation of the parties. This failure led the Parti Rouge to consider a different political stance, thus coalesce of The Grits and the Parti Rouge to form the Liberal Party of Canada in 1867.

Different types of medias are booming with campaign advertisements, attacks from different parties, and most importantly the arguments that affect the decisions we make. Furthermore, Twitter has been one of the most influencing subjects that has been primarily recorded under my multimedia sections; this social media has reflected the thousands of tweets that display the conflicting opinions of numerous Canadians. As I was scrolling through, I could not help but realize the amount of

The NDP in my opinion, is the best party to vote for. “I know, New Democrats know, that is is possible to grow our economy while protecting our environment,” (Tom Mulcair-speech at iVote May 2015.) The following reasons why I support the New Democratic Party are. Their belief of not leaving anyone behind, the way they plan to grow the economy and how they will help preserve the environment.

3. Utilising social media such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn can spread the information about Peter’s campaign widely and quickly among the blind-voters who are in Peter’s target audience. While they may not follow the election closely, they may spot Peter Boyle’s name online and associate it on voting day.

The rise of the Democratic Party and Republican Party can be traced back to the mid 1800s. Moreover, these two political parties have been prominent in our government, and has influenced American politics ever since. Over the decades, both political partisan changed many times their platform due to previous events and other influences for example: war reasons and geographic reasons. In present time, most Democrats supported liberal positions with the favored of federal regulation of the economy, meanwhile several Republicans supported conservative positions with the opposition of federal regulation of the economy. As the United States political parties turn more extreme in their beliefs, the Republicans and Democrats find it impossible to cooperate

There are many different political parties in Canada with varied beliefs and goals. The party that I most closely align with is the New Democratic Party. It is on the far left side of the political parties, so it is the most liberal of the parties. This party would like to increase taxes for large corporations and the wealthy, which will help the working class. Having more proportional taxation with income will help taxes be “fairer”. Furthermore, the NDP wants to spend more money on health care, by having more coverage with medicine, treatment, etc. I think free health care is very important because it allows everyone to be treated if they are sick. By improving health care as a whole, Canadians can have a better quality of life and an increased

Many voters don't care about politics as much as they use too. This can occur for number of

With all the political parties in the mix today it can be confusing to an average citizen who works daily to feed the family and pay the bills. You have Democrats and Republicans today that used to be light years apart and today they are shadows of one another. Many feel the Libertarian and Independent parties are not strong enough to carry the load in government. There are words such as conservative, socialist, progressive and liberal that are thrown about like the wind. For example their are similarities to the progressive party and the socialist party. They want the same goal just in a different way. Socialism is an economic system where the government runs and controls the production resources

There have been many losses and victories in creating the government and political parties the United States relies on today. The two major parties have defiantly changed their original platforms as time has gone on, but they have each gained voters for their beliefs. Though the parties have changed over the years, they have also each had recurrent patterns in history. The Democratic and Republican parties are the two major parties in the United States, and they have many intricate ways of how they came to be what they are today.

Ever since the beginning of political parties with the Federalists and Anti-Federalists, there has always been a clear division in political viewpoints. Now, the predominant opposing parties are the Republican and Democratic parties. Both parties have dominated the political scene for over 150 years with an unrelenting desire to gain more power in government and have their political beliefs addressed in legislation. Although currently the Democratic Party has a liberal platform and the Republican Party has a conservative platform, both parties have switched from its original stance when the party was first created.

The United States government is run by two political parties. These two political parties were formed when the founding fathers were creating the government system. The two parties were formed because they could not agree on how to divide the power between national and state government. “Early U.S. political parties were formed by national elites who disagreed over how to divide power between the national and state governments. The system we have today, divided between Republicans and Democrats, and had consolidated by 1860” (363). Having two parties is a good way to get ideas from different views. These two parties discuss ideas and have a difference of opinion is a great way to come up with more than one idea on different situations.

Research was undertaken by the global marketing agency ‘We Are Social’ which showed that over a 30 day period the leave campaign had gained 3.9 m supporters across social media. This includes contributions such as likes, comments and shares whilst the opposing side had gained 2m. Ways in which the leave campaign were able to draw attention to campaign were rooted from marketing methods such as billboards, adverts and also a large contribution of social media interaction such as posting pictures on Instagram, posting political views on twitter and Facebook which enabled them to reach a wider target audience and also spread awareness of the cause. By posting on social media and interacting with their audience as it gained more support from national UK citizens.
