	Canadian federal election, 2004 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This fear prompted those two parties to form a united Conservative Party of Canada, which was approved by the members of the Canadian Alliance on December 5, 2003 and controversially by the delegates of the Progressive Conservatives on December 6, 2003.
		Sponsorship scandal: badly hurt the Liberals in the polls and the theme of widespread corruption was used by all opposition parties, especially the Bloc.
		Fiscal imbalance: all major parties except the Liberals claimed that there was a monetary imbalance between Ottawa and the provinces and spoke of plans to reduce it, the Bloc Québécois probably being the strongest denouncer of the situation.

	Liberal Party of Canada
		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.

		The Canadian New Democratic Party (NDP) is now engaged in a federal-level leadership selection process and period of major renewal (after the resignation of federal leader Alexa McDonough in mid-2002) where different options are being considered for the future of the party.
		George Parkin Grant, Canada's leading traditionalist philosopher, wrote "...the directors of General Motors and the followers of Professor Marcuse sail down the same river in different boats." Both current-day capitalism and left-liberalism are seen as equally hostile to the notions of true community and true nationhood.
		Regardless of today's apparent return of fiscal or economic conservatism in Canada, the NDP has been able to fundamentally transform the social and cultural ideas and policies of the Liberal Party and most of the P.C. Party (and thereby of most of the country) away from social conservatism.

		After all it is the modern liberal party that is the party of both the corporation and the public service.
		The conservatives have flipped to the new liberals, Harper is the grandson of Alexander Mackenzie, and the liberals are those who only concern with the past while trying to socially engineer the future.
		The difference between the new conservatives and liberals is do you believe in freedom or do you believe it is the responsibility for the government to tell you how to live, because the common man is too foolish to figure it out for himself.

	Government by technicality (Canada'a Liberals now in U.S. 'Rat-style state of denial)
		It is, after all, a convention that we obey the law; a law has effect because enough people observe the convention.
		But it does so only by doing immense violence to parliamentary convention: that broader, deeper law that says a government must be answerable to the House, that it governs only with the support of the House, and that it is for the House to decide when it has withdrawn that support, not the government.
		So, while the answer to your specific question is most likely "no", the current actions of the Liberals most certainly have the potential - through their undermining of centuries of tradition - to do far more long-term damage than any mere short-lived coup.
