  Ontario Libertarian Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ontario Libertarian Party is a political party in Ontario, Canada that was founded in 1975 as an offshoot of the Libertarian Party in the USA.
It claimed, for a time, to be Ontario's fourth party, but has been surpassed in popularity by the Freedom Party of Ontario, the Green Party of Ontario and the Family Coalition Party of Ontario.
The party is associated with the Libertarian Party of Canada.

 Green Party of Ontario - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although it shares the same Ten Key Values as other North American Greens, it is sometimes criticized by leftists as being eco-capitalist and one of the "furthest right" Green Parties in North America.
The elements of green politics it emphasizes, including a green tax shift there are almost libertarian in character.
While the party's "left" sometimes resents compromises, the defenders of this strategy argue that it builds a "big tent", effectively splits the right wing vote, and does not prevent Greens from cooperating on the municipal and regional level with more left-wing parties.

 Green Party Review
Greens believe that no one is so defined by their class that they cannot learn to alter their assumptions about the world and how they live their lives.
Greens believe that a similar sort of grass-roots political mobilization based in part on appeals to morality is essential if we are to fundamentally change our society in order to develop a sustainable society based on the principles of justice and compassion.
In Ontario this process has involved developing limits on the extreme autonomy originally allowed individual chapters, removing such wildly impractical ideas as attempts to use formal "consensus decision-making" at provincial conferences or rotating the party leadership on the basis of gender, and developing curbs on the ability of isolated individuals to disrupt proceedings.
