 Liberal Party of Canada   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
In their early history, the Liberals were the party of free trade, continentalism, and opposition to excessive imperialism.
Under the party's new leader, John Turner, the Liberals lost power in the 1984 Canadian election and were reduced to only 40 seats in the House of Commons.
After a proposal for Quebec independence was narrowly defeated in the 1995 Quebec referendum, the Liberals passed the 'Clarity Act' in an attempt to outline the federal government's preconditions for negotiating Quebec independence.

 Liberal Party of Quebec
The Liberal Party is descended from the Parti canadien (or Patriotes who supported the Patriotes Rebellion), and les rouges, who fought for responsible government and against the authority of the Catholic Church in Lower Canada - an opposition movement that led to the 1837 Patriotes Rebellion.
The Liberals were in opposition to the ruling Quebec Conservative Party for most of the first 20 years after Confederation, except for 18 months of Liberal minority government in 1878-1879.
Under Jean Lesage, the party won an historic election in 1960, ending sixteen years of rule by the conservative Union Nationale, and ushering in the Quiet Revolution.

Quebec sovereigntists are generally not in opposition to federalism as a concept, but are opposed to the present federal system of Canada and do not believe it can be reformed in a way that could answer what they see as the legitimate wish of Quebecers to govern themselves freely.
Sovereignty-association was proposed to the population of Quebec in the 1980 Quebec referendum.
However, in early 2004, the Liberal government of Jean Charest had proved to be unpopular, and that, combined with the federal Liberal Party sponsorship scandal contributed to a resurgence of the BQ.

In the Quebec general election on April 14, 2003, the Quebec Liberal Party under Jean Charest defeated the incumbent Parti Québécois under Bernard Landry.
The Action démocratique du Québec under Mario Dumont won four seats, which was a considerable improvement from previous general elections, but nonetheless an important disappointment since the party had five sitting members as a result of by-election victories in the previous year and a quite high standing in the polls of that same year.
An argument of Landry for this timetable was that he wanted Quebec to be present at the Summit of the Americas of Buenos Aires, in 2005 (representation for Quebec had been denied by Ottawa at the previous summit held in the very Capital of Quebec, an act that angered many).

 Action démocratique du Québec - Freepedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The party was formed in 1994 by former members of the Parti libéral du Québec who left that party due to its reluctance to commit to Quebec sovereignty following the defeat of the Charlottetown Accord.
Initially, the party was led by former Liberal MNA Jean Allaire, but he resigned within a few months and was succeeded by former Liberal youth committee president Mario Dumont, who has retained the leadership to this day.
Dumont remained his party's only sitting MNA until 2002, when voter dissatisfaction with both the Parti Québécois government of Bernard Landry and the Liberal alternative presented by Jean Charest led the ADQ to an unexpected victory in a series of by-elections, bringing the party caucus to five members.

Liberal MNA Russell Copeman's absence from today's press conference regarding the Quebec's language police's harrassment of a Notre Dame de Grace small-business owner is "fully indicative of the non-representation local residents can expect on this critical issue" if the incumbent is re-elected on Monday, Equality Party candidate Peter Sauvé said following the event.

That year, the Parti libéral du Québec won 43.55 percent of the popular vote to the Parti québécois' 42.87 percent.
Given his party's past victimisation by the voting system, it should really be no surprise that in his first post-election news conference, the Liberal premier-elect, Jean Charest, promised to consider "reform of the method of voting in Québec, so that the necessary reforms may be in place in time for the next vote."
He also spots one important thing that Canadian politics has repeatedly demonstrated in the last few years: that third parties can benefit from First Past the Post systems if their electoral base is geographically concentrated, like the separatist parties in Quebec or the Reform Party in the western provinces.

While the election was a setback politically for the Parti Quebecois, exiting Premier Bernard Landry stated in his speech following the announcement of the results, that in a democracy the people choose, and they are always right.
If the Liberals won easy, of all the leaders, Charest was the only one to have a close personal victory, winning by only about 2,500 votes, and only had 45% of the vote.
