	Liberalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Liberalism has its roots in the Western Age of Enlightenment, but the term has taken on different meanings in different time periods (for example now in the United States generally it means new liberalism while in the rest of the world has the meaning of classical liberalism).
		Liberals are in favour of a pluralist system in which differing political and social views, even extreme or fringe views, compete for political power on a democratic basis and have the opportunity to achieve power through periodically held elections.
		Liberals in Europe are generally hostile to any attempts by the state to enforce equality in employment by legal action against employers, whereas in the United States many liberals favor such affirmative action.

	Liberalism in Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While Canada has the same features of other liberal democracies in the Western democratic political tradition, it is, in some respects, an exemplar of liberalism.
		The second liberalism began, roughly, in the 1960s with the election of Lester B. Pearson as leader of the Liberal Party of Canada and can be traced through the politics of Pierre Trudeau, Joe Clark (although a member of the Progressive Conservative party, Clark was considered a 'red Tory'), Jean Chrétien, and Paul Martin.
		This liberalism is what is properly called welfare liberalism, or what contemporary North American use of the word signifies: liberal democracy, social liberalism, multiculturalism, diplomacy in foreign policy, and a mixed economy.

	Liberalism - MSN Encarta
		Neither Locke nor Voltaire had believed in universal suffrage, and even most 19th-century liberals feared mass participation in politics, holding that the so-called lower classes were uninterested in the principal values of liberalism, that is, that they were indifferent to freedom and hostile to the expression of diversity in society.
		In the U.S., positive liberalism was further extended, with such developments as the social criticism of the muckrakers, the agitation for and enactment of legislation curbing trusts and extending the suffrage to women, the trade-union movement, the “New Freedom” of President Woodrow Wilson, and the New Deal of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
		Despite the metamorphosis in the philosophy of liberalism since the mid-19th century, almost all modern liberals agree that their common objective is enlargement of the individual's opportunity to realize full potentialities.

	Political liberalism
		Liberals usually think of themselves as progressive as opposed to conservative, and as moderate[?] and reformist as opposed to radical or revolutionary.
		This distinction of political liberalism carries a caveat, which is that in the absence of strong principles characteristic of successful power-seeking endeavours, there is no possible strong definition liberty, and liberalism will refer to the vague common prejudices of the day.
		In recent decades the most common use of the term liberal in the USA is greatly at variance from the use of the term in the rest of the world, and with the historical meaning of the word in the USA through the mid 20th century.

	Canada is bleeding
		While Canada had placed a moratorium on fishing fleets to reduce the catch of many some species to allow the stocks to rebound, international fishing boats were constantly over-fishing off of the Grand Banks.
		The rest of Canada is becoming more and more frustrated by the voting habits of this one province, which seems to control the destiny of everyone with its huge voting block.
		We have a supreme court that has been stacked with liberal socialists, further alienating our conservative family members from other provinces, who are seeing their laws and values being ruled as unconstitutional, and as a result, their values and moral judgments are being made null and void.

		One would hope that everyone in Congress was a liberal in that sense but, sadly, it doesnâ€™t seem to be the case anymore.
		Liberalism, by definition, is the essence of a free society.

	Is a Pym Fortuyn-type liberalism arising in Canada?
		Like Pym Fortuyn, Gagnon-Tremblay, along with other Quebec Liberals who are saying similar things, is at least being a consistent liberal, that is, she is willing to exclude from her country people who openly threaten the liberal order.
		We might describe this type of liberalism as "social-contract" liberalism, since it holds that newcomers are welcome to join a liberal society, if they respect its liberal social contract.
		Unfortunately, most liberals today, including President Bush and many of his "conservative" followers, are not even "social-contract" liberals, but "openness" liberals.

		Mises valiantly defends the liberalism of Burke, Locke,and Menger.
		It's a shame that the liberalism von Mises espouses must be pre-classed as "classical," since the word "liberal" has come to mean precisely the opposite of what von Mises and his predecessors in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries meant by the word.
		Classical Liberalism is among America's most venerable traditions, for it laid the foundation for everything revered by the conservatism and libertarianism of today.

	Amazon.ca: Does Canada Matter?: Liberalism and the Illusion of Sovereignty: Books: Clarence Bolt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In this lucid yet impassioned book Clarence Bolt reveals how Canada is rapidly losing its sovereign status to the liberal, globalizing drive that has, since Confederation, endeavoured to eliminate regional diversity, self- reliance and distinctiveness by blending our regions into a centralized economic and political system.
		Echoing George Grant, Bolt proposes that Canada can remain a unique, sovereign state only by fostering sustainable regional units in which citizens are committed to the stewardship of their natural and cultural environments.
		Bolt is active in local politics, and links the disillusionment voters have in the power of local politicians to accomplish anything with what he calls a key liberal myth that growth and development are valuable for their own sake.

	Turn Left Visits Canada: Politics
		Most liberals will either hold their nose and vote Liberal or support the New Democratic Party (my party!), which is a social democratic party (much like Britain's Labour Party or the African National Congress of South Africa) that has been the only real opposition to hack-and-slash economics.
		The Liberal party traditionally has it's support base in the Maritime Provinces (11 seats) but had that disapate in the last election.
		Ontario (101 seats) Liberals have heavily increased their support base in Ontario, but it has not translated into provincial sucess.

		They were Liberal partisans to be sure but they noticed that there was a stagnation of thought, a lack of fresh thinking and new dialog, not just within the party but in the broader liberal progressive world view.
		Liberals (small and capital "L") and progressives, in Canada, the US and Europe, have to recognize the failures of some of their policies as a first step.
		Conservativism in Canada is probably where the American right was about 15 years ago with ideas beginning to germinate and signs of electoral success, with its academics like Morton and the "Calgary School" leaving their ivory towers and permeating politics.

	Man of the year
		The magazine was right in pointing out that the two Michaels represent a rise of social liberalism in Canada.
		Although the Michaels, Leshner in particular, are gay activists, their status as Canada’s newsmakers of the year is largely symbolic, in much the same way as Rosa Park’s simple act of defiance in refusing to sit in the back of the bus, became a symbol of the desegregation movement in the American south.
		Time Canada should be commended for recognizing the significance of the increase in social liberalism that has become ensconced in this country, despite the perception that the country is now run by someone who is a cross between Newt Gingrich and Mike Harris.

		classical liberalism, American liberalism, social liberalism etc) I stumbled across the distinction between positive liberty and negative liberty.
		I think all political parties in Canada (probably all of them in the West as well) choose positive over negative liberty.
		Heh, I’m that “almost nobody” you mentioned, as evidenced by the fact that I have no idea what “equitable sharing of resources” is supposed to mean in practice or why anyone should be concerned with it.

		As the name indicates, liberalism is traditionally a political ideology emphasizing the personal liberty of each individual, including freedom of thought, conscience, religion, opinion, expression, assembly, association, movement, enterprise, occupation, contract, etc. which the state should not violate, except to protect the rights of others.
		This variant of liberalism is also known as "welfare liberalism" or "social liberalism" or "liberal egalitarianism".
		Because of the varying meanings of the word "Liberalism" this category is divided to two subcategories, "Social Liberalism", which refers to the meaning of liberalism more common in North America, and "Libertarianism", which refers to the meaning of liberalism more common in Europe and other parts of the world.

	William Gairdner.com - The Trouble With Canada
		SOME WILL LEAP FOR JOY, OTHERS WILL BE OUTRAGED. But no one will remain unmoved by The Trouble with Canada, a book that challenges the political, economic, and cultural order of this nation.
		In compelling, straight-to-the-mark fashion, William Gairdner demonstrates his conviction that Canada is caught between two irreconcilable styles of government, a "top-down" collectivism and a "bottom-up" individualism; he shows how Canadian society has been corrupted by a dangerous love affair with the former.
		Gairdner sees bright and clear what Canada so greatly needs, and his mobilizing passion wonderfully animates an analytical precision that should be the reason for a national - binational - celebration."
