How Did The Liberal Party Change

Justin Trudeau has created many political platforms in order to win over the votes of Canadian citizens. Most of the platforms are creative ideas and will help make Canada a better place, but some are not very good and in my opinion will not be the right choice for Canada.

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.

After Macdonald was back in Kingston, Ontario he entered active politics. Kingston was a conservative town, so when Macdonald entered politics he therefore joined the Conservative Party. In 1843 Macdonald was elected an alderman in Kingston, then in 1844 he won an election giving him a seat in the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada. The members of the Assembly quickly recognized Macdonald?s political abilities, resulting in him being made Receiver General in 1844 for the Conservative Government. This position gave him a seat on the Executive Council in the Province of Canada. The Conservative government of William Draper was defeated a year later so for the next few years Macdonald assisted in the rebuilding of the Conservative Party. ("Macdonald, Sir")

Did you know that the current leader of the New Democratic Party used to be a Liberal? Thomas Mulcair became the leader of the New Democratic Party after the death of Jack Layton. The New Democratic Party (NDP) is one of the major federal political parties in Canada. The NDP was formed in 1961 as the result of the merger of two different parties. There are numerous reasons why the people of Canada should vote for the NDP. Citizens of Canada should vote for the New Democratic Party because if elected, they promise to improve the environmental situation, provide better health care for Canadians, and improve the economy in Canada.

Justin Trudeau is the current Prime Minister of Canada and leader of the country’s Liberal Party. Elected in 2015, Trudeau has proven himself a respectable leader both domestically and internationally. He is strongly supported by Canadians, Americans, and other world leaders. The Prime Minister of Canada has demonstrated his ability to lead, his warm-hearted attitude, and his willingness to stick by his morals.

This research paper hopes to be an exploration of the similarities of Pierre Trudeau and Justin Trudeau’s electoral platforms and policies in the topics of culture, foreign policy and affairs, and equality and answer the question of how both Trudeau platforms have worked, or will work towards similar goals. Policies by Pierre Trudeau in this paper will have been carried out, whereas policies by Justin Trudeau will be those that have been carried out, or those that were included in his relatively recent electoral platform that have not been started or finished.

There is no doubt that Justin Trudeau is one of the most promising Prime Ministers in Canadian history. Since Justin Trudeau was elected into office in 2015, he has made a drastic impression on Canadian society and committed to a good amount of the promises he made amid his campaign.

Already in the spotlight after the scandals that marred the previous Redford leadership, the Progressive Conservative Party under Jim Prentice had to prove their capabilities to the Albertans who voted for them in 2012. Just after his election as Premier of Alberta, Prentice made an arcane deal with then-leader of the Official Opposition, Danielle Smith. This resulted in the floor-crossing of 9 Wildrose Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) to the Progressive Conservative Party. While this seemed like a favorable move for Prentice, it resulted in the alienation of many of the Albertans who strategically voted for the Progressive Conservatives in 2012 in an effort to hinder a Wildrose majority in the legislature. Furthermore, the move proved factious with fiscally-conservative voters who chose to vote Wildrose instead of Progressive Conservative in the 2015 election. In fact, it was found that nearly 25% of individuals who voted PC in 2012, voted for the New

The year 2015 has been a historic one for Canadian politics. As a result of one of the longest Canadians elections in history, all three major party leaders had ample amount of time to illustrate their vision for Canada through their policies and beliefs. In Peter Loewen’s, What Canadians Know About the Ideology of Stephen Harper, Justin Trudeau, and Tom Mulcair, he describes ideology as a means of governance that each leader believes would be in the best interest for Canadians. He goes to show how these respective ideologies guide the policies that each leader campaigns on. Creating hegemony through this campaigning which ultimately reflects the outcome of the elections. The several policies presented by Trudeau, Harper, and Mulcair offer

The thesis put forth by Darrel Bricker and John Ibbitson in “The Big Shift: The Seismic Change in Canadian Politics, Business, and Culture and What It Means for Our Future”, is premised on the notion that the Laurentian Consensus has ended due to its reluctance to accept the changes that Canada has gone, and will go through. They argue that their resistance to change created an opportunity for the Conservative party to become the new “natural governing” party in Canada (Bricker & Ibbitson, 2013). By recognizing and acting on these changes, the Conservative party built a platform for success which lead to the outcome of the 2011 federal election. They argue that the seismic shift in the demographics of Canadian voters from one side of the political spectrum to the other granted Conservatives this victory. This paper will explore the flaws within their argument, and the extent to which this shift is perpetual in nature.

On August 2, 2015, the previous Prime Minister of Canada, Stephen Harper, asked for the governor general’s permission to dissolve parliament with the mentality of running a 78-day election campaign. Based on this, understanding the political realm of the government and certain obstacles Harper faced in order to make this decision becomes crucial for candidate leaders belonging to other political parties. Stephen Harper encountered both structural and institutional constraints, considering his goal was to hold a majority government in his next term in office. In doing so, Harper would have had to be aware of the potential changes within the election process and the system of government itself that would best suit to him forming a powerful government

In my opinion the best political party in Canada is the Liberal Party of Canada. In the present and historically the Liberal Party has done a good job in running our country. In the research I have done in the past and this past week, I have learned a lot about the values of each party and when comparing all of them, the Liberal party is looking to improve upon assets that will affect my life in a positive way. The liberals have a rich history, many important prime ministers, such as Sir Wilfred Laurier, Pierre Trudeau and Jean Chrétien, were candidates running with the Liberal party. Historically, Liberal prime ministers have made important changes in the Canadian government. Pierre Elliot Trudeau is looked upon as one of the “Founding Fathers”

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

Although there are over 21 registered parties in Canada, only the five largest parties hold seats in the House of Commons. Two of the five major parties, the Liberals and the Conservatives have existed since the confederation was signed in 1867. The Liberals are the left-of-center party of Canada, who have been
