 Liberal Party
The Liberal Party, which has dominated federal politics for much of Canada's history, first developed its formula for political success under the leadership of Sir Wilfrid LAURIER, who was prime minister from 1896 to 1911.
The Liberals' next, and probably greatest, leader was William Lyon Mackenzie KING, who began his career as a public servant and ended it as the most enduring prime minister in Canadian history (1921-48 except for 2 periods in opposition, in 1926 and 1930-35).
Despite marked vacillations in the party's popularity, it managed to remain in office until 1979 and then again from 1980 to 1984 on the basis of its strength in central Canada, and continued to scramble unsuccessfully to rebuild its position in the West.
