	Liberal Party of Canada - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The Liberal Party was reduced from a majority to a minority government due, in part, to a Chrétien-era scandal in which advertising agencies supporting the Liberal Party received grossly inflated commissions for their services.
		When the Liberals formed a majority government after the 1993 election with Chrétien at the helm, party unity was assured by placing Martin, whom Chrétien had defeated for the party leadership in 1990, in the crucial role of Minister of Finance.
		In April, 2005 David Kilgour, one of the party's two MPs from Alberta announced that he was leaving the party to sit as an independent member of the House of Commons due to the damaging allegations of corruption in the Liberal Party's Quebec wing based on testimony in the Gomery Commission inquiry.

	Columbia Encyclopedia- Liberal party - AOL Research & Learn
		The Liberal party was an outgrowth of the Whig party that, after the Reform Bill of 1832 (see Reform Acts), joined with the bulk of enfranchised industrialists and business classes to form a political alliance that, over the next few decades, came to be called the Liberal party.
		The laissez-faire outlook and hegemony of the Liberal party were challenged in the last quarter of the 19th cent.
		The party's stubborn adherence to the doctrine of free trade, arguments between the Lloyd George and Asquith factions of the party, long years of depression, the Irish problem, growing labor radicalism, and the rise of a working-class party all account for the rapid postwar decline of the Liberals.

	Grassroots Politicians: Party Activists in British Columbia. by David Mitchell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The reason offered for the failure of the province's parties to converge towards the political centre is that they are constrained by the attitudes of their activists.
		British Columbia's Social Credit Party is portrayed as a party of social and economic elites who exhibit homogeneity on some issues, divisions on many others, and possess clear linkages to the federal Progressive Conservative Party.
		However, provincial Liberalism persisted for a variety of reasons, not the least of which was the connection to the federal party.

		The amendments introduced today by Liberal Leader Dr. Jon Gerrard are designed to ease those tensions by reinstating provisions for democratic governance within the pharmacy profession and by creating a new framework for negotiating reciprocity agreements with US states that permit their pharmacists to fill prescriptions written by Canadian physicians.
		The Liberals pointed to an apparent conflict of interest as proof that the NDP is unable to learn from its mistakes with Crocus.
		While expressing his party’s general support for the bill, Dr. Gerrard said that the inability for the Doer NDP to first see and then take action to avoid an apparent conflict of interest is more evidence that the NDP has not learned the lessons of the Crocus scandal.

	BCPolitics - BC News and Political Commentary
		The 2001 Census confirms that the population of British Columbia is predominantly metropolitan, with 1,986,965 people (51% of BC's population) living in the Vancouver Census Metropolitan Area and 311,902 (8%) living in the Victoria CMA, and that the metropolitan population is increasing faster than the rest of the province.
		It is asserted that with very few exceptions, the current hegemonic model which overly relies on large scale corporate investments, international trade and export-led development, is unsustainable both financially, socially and environmentally, and furthermore, has been woefully inadequate in providing either community stability or reliable good paying jobs to the majority of BC residents.
		It is asserted that for British Columbia, the "co-op" or "co-operative model" of development, while is thusfar underutilized, is the best institutional vehicle to bring about such an economic model of development.

	The Militant - April 29, 2002 -- Boycott anti-Native referendum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Working people should support the boycott of the provincial government of British Columbia's referendum on Native treaties being organized by Native organizations, labor unions, and other organizations.
		The referendum is part of a decades-long racist campaign by the capitalist rulers of Canada to deny Native peoples their rights and to deny them full and equal employment, education, housing, and access to health care and other social benefits.
		The referendum, spearheaded by the British Columbia Liberal party, which controls the provincial government, is nothing more than an attempt to defend the second-class status of Native peoples and cover up the systematic oppression and discrimination they have faced since their lands were stolen by British and French colonialism.

	FWB, Spring/Summer 1996 - Americas
		It is seen by many as a crucial step in calming frustration at the slow pace of negotiations which last year led to a number of road blockades in British Columbia and to the armed occupation of a ranch at Gustafsen Lake.
		For example, both the opposition British Columbia Liberal Party (which is currently leading in the polls) and the provincial Reform Party, have expressed disapproval of the Nisga'a treaty and have threatened to kill the deal if they form the next government.
		Despite such threats, a spokesman for the First Nations Summit, a coalition of Aboriginal organizations in Vancouver told IPS that since the authority of British Columbia's treaty commission is protected by law, it will be difficult for politicians to completely derail the negotiation process.

		The municipal reforms are part of a vigorous - and divisive - drive by British Columbia's Liberal government to attract private investment to Canada's most westerly province.
		Since taking office in 2001, the Liberals have reversed many of the pro-union, pro-environmentalist policies put in place by the left-of- centre New Democrats, who held power for the previous decade.
		Still, with the election approaching, the Liberals are seeking to soften their image.

	The Freedom Party of BC - President-Kenneth Montgomery Keillor
		The Freedom Party is not impressed with politicians who preach a great sermon prior to elections, and then, once elected, seem to develop amnesia pertinent to the fact that they are the ‘servants’ of the people.
		The Liberals constantly brag about improving the economy, but all they have really done is rob taxpayer Peter to pay corporate buddy Paul, and filled their coffers at the pain and expense of almost everyone in BC in the process.
		I call upon the Liberals, and the NDP, and premier Campbell in particular, to halt the Auschwitz-like slaughter of the innocent and usher in a 'golden decade' for the unborn by immediately terminating taxpayer funding of abortion in BC.

	British Columbia Election - Democracy ill-served
		Only in countries which use the British parliamentary system, or a copy thereof, is such a travesty of democratic principles possible.
		When reviewing the British Parliamentary system we suffer, I’ll bet that even the English electors are as sick as we are of the system invented by their long dead ancestors which also, like us, renders them almost politically impotent.
		The leniency shown towards killers of natives in the 1990s is sort of reminiscent of the 1700s when it was considered laudable in British society to kill them.
