Talk:Liberal Party of Canada

Perhaps now with Mark Carney the party's positions have changed a little.

I would suggest saying that the Liberal Party is now positioned between a center-right and center-left stance, with Mark Carney as the new party leader, and his stances on many issues resemble those of Pierre Poilievre. And no, I'm not just saying this out of nowhere. I left a link and anyone can search for the fact that many consider Mark Carney to be a conservative, just as the Green Party considers him a progressive conservative. 186.54.71.137 (talk) 03:49, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

And, why would we start using American spelling? -- Earl Andrew - talk 13:28, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

I somewhat concur here - I think 'Centre to centre-left' is probably best changed to simply 'Centre' although I would add a note [A] stating that the party has also been evaluated as 'centre-left' and more rarely (or perhaps historically, mainly during the Chrétien years) as 'centre-right'. The Liberals in Canada are indeed a big-tent party but are most consistently evaluated as being in the political 'centre'. E-Ville 2025 (talk) 20:16, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

Nothing has changed in a 100plus years.....well perhaps all more to the left....but all still in there traditional position. Moxy🍁 04:11, 28 March 2025 (UTC) Template:Template other

You haven't responded coherently, saying that supposedly nothing changes in 100 is simply an oversimplification. To respond to that, you'd have been better off not saying anything because you're not arguing anything. It's more like saying "no, it's not true" and that's it. Nothing more than that is your message, quite absurd. 2800:A4:10E3:4A00:8D28:86A6:49B7:60AA (talk) 05:29, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

Hopfully you have learned something by the vid....or not? Moxy🍁 05:51, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

I don't bother reading the nonsense of those who deny the political spectrum and similar nonsense. I've heard and read those arguments before, and they're absurd. In any case, you're the one who could learn something, and that's to answer, not simply evade the questions. Either way, I already knew it would be a waste of time to answer you, so keep saying what you want because I'm not going to waste any more of my time reading your pointless responses, where you just evade what I'm saying because you know your initial answer was ridiculous. 2800:A4:10E3:4A00:8D28:86A6:49B7:60AA (talk) 05:56, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

I'm not interested in your nonsense or evasive answers, I already told you that, so save your arrogant behavior because I won't respond to your stupidity. 2800:A4:10E3:4A00:8D28:86A6:49B7:60AA (talk) 06:11, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

We generally try to take a wider view when it comes to things like ideology and position, rather than just what the current leader is saying. Leaders set the direction of the party (obviously), but parties are larger than one man, particularly when we're talking about big-tent parties like the Liberals — Carney may be shifting the Liberals rightwards (relative of Trudeau), but there are clearly still prominent figures who are to his left. There is also the practical reason that we don't want to get drawn into fresh discussions about the position every time there's a leadership change (or the leader shifts positions). It wasn't too long ago (you can check the archives) that people suggested that we ought to remove "centre" entirely and have the Liberals as only "centre-left" because of Trudeau's leadership, for example.

Carney being perceived as shifting the party to the right might be worth noting in the body, but it's undue in the infobox. — Kawnhr (talk) 17:37, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

“[They’ve] pursued a woke agenda that has really denigrated the country’s culture and history and institutions, and I think Canadians, if anything, they’ve reacted more strongly against that than even the economic results,” Harper told Groisman.

I can say that Mark is very much on the bubble, very level headed centrist though clearly a globalist but the rest of the party is made of mostly far left individuals in my opinion. Many of whom have been apart of Trudeau's reign and contributed to his past Minority coalition. David especially. Realdwal (talk) 17:28, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

Infobox slogan

Can we put a slogan for the party in the wikibox, as done in other nations like in the UK and australie (see: Labour Party (UK) and Australian Labor Party). The slogans they use are for the most recent election campaigns. 99.209.14.186 ([[User talk:99.209.14.186 |talk]]) 12:38, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

I think we should do this. Rushtheeditor (talk) 22:22, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

I would also agree. Looks consistent SKAG123 (talk) 03:24, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
