 Liberal Party   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
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.

 COB Lecture by George Mackey On The Life of Sir Lynden Pindling
The party made its formal debut in October of that year, but its initial reception some months earlier was very discouraging as the masses had a difficulty in accepting a fl message from an almost all-white group.
Under his leadership, his party's efforts in rallying the masses to exercise the superiority of their numbers at the polls in the historic January 10th General Election of that year, culminated their 129-year march from slavery to self-government.
Consequently, the P.L.P. Government authorized a Royal Commission of Inquiry in 1984 to investigate these allegations, in the process of which Sir Lynden's reputation was maligned as well as those of at least two of his Ministers, Messrs Kendal Nottage and George Smith, and several senior public officers.
