लिबरल पार्टी ऑफ कनाडा
कनाडा की लिबरल पार्टी (उदारवादी दल) (फ़्रान्सीसी: फ़्रान्सीसी‎), जिसे बोलचाल की भाषा में ग्रिट्स भी कहा जाता है, कनाडा के इतिहास का सबसे पुराना राजनीतिक दल है। यह दल उदारतावाद के सिद्धांत पर काम करता है और कनाडा के राजनीतिक हलकों में सामान्यत: सेंटर (मध्यमार्गी विचारधारा) वाले दल के रूप में जाना जाता है। ऐतिहासिक रूप से लिबरलों को कनाडा की कंज़र्वेटिव पार्टी के बायें और न्यू डेमोक्रेटिक पार्टी के दायें स्थान मिला है। The party has dominated federal politics for much of Canada's history, holding power for almost 69 years in the 20th century—more than any other party in a developed country—and as a result, it is sometimes referred to as Canada's "natural governing party". The party's signature policies and legislative decisions include universal health care, the Canada Pension Plan, Canada Student Loans, peacekeeping, multilateralism, official bilingualism, official multiculturalism, patriating the Canadian constitution and the entrenchment of Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Clarity Act, restoring balanced budgets in the 1990s, and making same-sex marriage legal nationwide. During the beginning of the 21st century, the party lost a significant amount of support, to the benefit of both the Conservatives and the NDP. In the 2011 federal election, the Liberals had the worst showing in its history, capturing only 19 percent of the popular vote and 34 seats—becoming the third-place party in the House of Commons for the first time. In the 2015 federal election, the Liberal Party under Justin Trudeau returned to prominence with its best showing since the 2000 election, winning 39.5 percent of the popular vote and 184 seats, thus regaining a majority of seats in the House of Commons.
