History of the Liberal Party
The Liberal Party has dominated federal politics for much of Canada's
history, using the formula for success of straddling the political center
developed under the leadership of Wilfrid Laurier. The Liberal
Party has been the governing party at the federal level for most of the
period since the late 1890s. This Party has been described as a
brokerage party, in recognition of its success in appealing to a range
of interests divided by region, language, ethnicity, and social class.
