	2004 Liberal Party of Canada infighting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The period between Paul Martin's assumption of the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada on November 14, 2003, and the 2004 federal election being called on May 23, 2004, saw a considerable amount of infighting within the party.
		The Liberals were re-elected with a thin majority in the 1997 campaign, although none of the other parties were large enough to form a strong opposition.
		While the opposition parties were well poised to reap the benefits of Bill C-24 due to their established grassroots fund raising, the Liberal machine were caught unprepared for this change and this would hamper them in the 2004 and 2006 campaigns, leaving them in heavy debt.

	Paul Martin - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Paul Martin (born August 28, 1938, in Windsor, Ontario) was the 21st Prime Minister of Canada and the former leader of the Liberal Party of Canada.
		Despite lingering bitterness from the leadership race, the Liberal Party won the 1993 election and Martin was appointed minister of finance by the new prime minister, Jean Chrétien.
		The Liberals managed to narrow the gap and divert attention from the sponsorship scandal that was dogging the party via campaign tactics and attack ads that portrayed opposition leader Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party as harbouring a "Hidden Agenda" on social issues such as abortion.

		Bloc Québéçois is formed as a political party as a result of the increased nationalist sentiment in Quebec after the collapse of the Meech Lake Accord (see June 23, 1990) by Lucien Bouchard who resigned from the PCP and the federal cabinet last May (see May 21, 1990).
		While the party has only 9 members in the House, 3 short of the 12 required to be officially recognized as a party, party members say that they are confident that several PCP members will join them in the coming months.
		Parti Québéçois leader and soon to be Quebec Premier Parizeau declares that the Parti Québécois' victory "extinguished" any hope of accommodation between Quebec and the rest of Canada.

		On Jan. 23, 2006, Canadians decided they were willing to give the party a chance to prove that the union of two parties that were once bitter foes had blossomed into a united, moderate and truly national movement.
		But, the PC party under former leader Joe Clark concluded that Manning's dream of a united right appeared to be far closer to Reform's values than it was to the party of Sir John A. Macdonald.

	Online NewsHour Update: Canadian Prime Minister to Exit Early Amist Party Pressure -- November 14, 2003
		Jean Chretien signaled this week he would step down as Canada's prime minister earlier than planned to clear the way for former Finance Minister Paul Martin to take the helm of the Liberal Party on Friday.
		In Canadian politics, the leader of the governing party serves as the prime minister.
		The conciliatory gesture came in marked contrast to the two men's previous leadership battles that caused party infighting and almost led to a revolt last year intended to force Chretien from power, according to the Associated Press.

		The Green Party, spurred by a sudden influx of unemployed Liberal Party operatives, will attempt to keep the Bloc in check and keep Canada from becoming the EU until it can prove that it can be a viable governing party.
		In the lead-up to the vote, many of his party's natural allies are joining their voices with that of Paul Martin to beg NDP sympathizers to abandon Layton for the Liberals for the second election in a row.
		The Green Party believes that Canada's disgraceful involvement must be reversed, and Canada must halt all aid, as well as training being provided by the RCMP to the Haitian National Police, who have been responsible for massacres and assassinations of civilians since the coup in 2004.

		The Liberals are at a historic crossroads, Bevilacqua said, adding that Canadians have lost confidence in the party.
		Party supporters should not be swayed by talk of uniting the left, he continued, saying such discussion will only further pull the Liberals away from their roots.
		Bevilacqua will argue the Liberals have become the most successful political party in the western world precisely because they've stuck resolutely to the middle ground, where Canadian voters are most comfortable.

		Liberal MP John Harvard (Charleswood-St. James-Assiniboia) has once again been rejected for a cabinet post as incoming Prime Minister Paul Martin announced his selections for his first cabinet, relegating the four term MP to the role of Parliamentary Secretary once again.
		Steven Fletcher, candidate for The Conservative Party of Canada nomination commented saying, “This is a clear indication that John Harvard has failed to gain the confidence of Prime Minister Martin and is clearly not cabinet material.”
		Despite being appointed the Chair of the Western Liberal Caucus, John Harvard has consistently positioned himself on the opposite side of the opinions of his constituents.

		A federal judge proclaimed last week that in the final years of Canada's Chretien government, untold millions of dollars were channeled from the treasury into the bank accounts of the federal Liberal Party, several Liberal-friendly advertising agencies and a few senior party backroom gentry in Montreal.
		Canada's Liberal Party, which since the 1970s has both harbored in its upper echelons and implanted in the federal bureaucracy a virulent anti-American bias, is in deep political trouble and could be driven from office before summer.
		The new Conservative Party of Canada appears to be the big beneficiary of the Liberals' misfortune.

		Four submarines Canada purchased from Britain in 1998 have dented hulls, cracked valves and dubious ventilation systems and are still not seaworthy.
