  Canadian federal election, 2000 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2000 Canadian federal election was held on November 27, 2000.
The campaign was dogged by accusations that the party would allow private health care to operate along-side the public Medicare system and introduce two-tier health care, and for threatening gay rights and abortion rights, all of which the party denied.
The party had a very disappointing election, falling from 20 to 12 seats, and being almost exclusively confined to the Maritime provinces and Newfoundland.

 Canada Election 2004 Voter Guide: Political Parties - Liberal Party of Canada
The Liberal Party has no ideology to speak of: it is a party focussed first and foremost on seizing and holding political power, and has shown incredible ideological flexibility in the furtherance of its goal.
Although the party's current leader, Paul Martin, is repeatedly given kudos for "slaying the deficit" by cutting spending, the fact of the matter is that Liberal spending did not decrease under Martin: rather, tax revenues were increased, and overall spending increased each year (though, not as much as revenues increased).
Although the Liberal party had promised to "scrap" the GST prior to taking power in 1993, the Liberals changed their mind shortly after being elected: this gave the new finance minister of the time, Paul Martin, a new source of additional tax revenue.
