	Ontario Liberal Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Liberal Party of Ontario is descended from the Reform Party of Robert Baldwin and William Lyon Mackenzie, who argued for responsible government in the 1830s and 1840s against the conservative patrician rule of the Family Compact.
		The party was so disorganized that it was led for seven years (and through two provincial elections) by an interim leader, W.E.N. Sinclair, as there was not enough money or a sufficient level of organization, and too many divisions within the party to hold a leadership convention.
		During this period, the Liberal Party was a rural, conservative rump with a southwestern Ontario base, and were often further to the right of the moderate Red Tory Conservative administrations.

	Parkdale-High Park Federal Liberal Riding Association
		Ontario’s foremost political organization offers you the opportunity to be involved in the political process and to have your voice heard.
		In Canadian politics, a riding association or constituency association, is the basic unit of a political party, that is, it is the party's organization at the level of the electoral constituency or riding.
		Major political parties attempt to have a riding association in each constituency though, usually, these associations are more active in ridings where the party has an elected Member of Parliament or has a reasonable chance of electing an MP in the future, and less active in ridings, where the party's prospects have historically been poor.

		The Liberals also became identified with the aspirations of Quebecers as a result of the growing hostility of French-Canadians to the Conservatives, particularly due the role of Conservative governments in the execution of Louis Riel, the suppression of the rights of French-Canadians outside of Quebec and its role in the Conscription crisis of 1917.

	Commentary - Democracy and Parliament by Christopher Moore
		We constantly declare that leadership conventions and mass party contests are "democratic," and become more so according to how many people have bought votes in them -- though a convention dissolves the moment it picks a leader, leaving him or her accountable to no one.
		To confer leadership selection upon a mass party convention meant an explicit break with the view that the hiring and firing of party leaders was a defining principle of governmental responsibility and must be the prerogative of elected representatives.
		A party leader's freedom to remain in office until a date of his own choosing - unless the mass membership of the party has been slowly and cumbersomely mustered against him or her - is fundamental to the modern concept of Canadian "parliamentary" democracy.
