@David_Moscrop @karandikara18 @christoaivalis This may get long... In Canada the Liberal party isn't so much a left party as a centrist one. The term "Liberal" actually is a complicated one, as often outside the US such parties are centrist or centre-right. The Australian and Dutch Liberals for example are both centre-right @David_Moscrop @karandikara18 @christoaivalis The Canadian Liberals historically have been very centrist. They would often shift left or right slightly to respond to wherever they felt threatened. In the 1940s, 50s, and 60s that threat came from the left and so they supported welfare state expansion.
