	Liberal Party of Quebec (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Parti libéral du Québec (Liberal Party of Quebec), or PLQ, is a Quebec liberal party.
		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.

		Even though the Quebec Conservative Party dominated politics in that province for the first thirty years of Confederation at both the federal and provincial levels, in the 20th century the party was never able to be a force in provincial politics, and ultimately dissolved into the Union Nationale in 1935.
		As was common amongst 19th century conservative movements, Canadian Tories opposed the rollback of Crown intervention in social and economic matters advocated by the liberals of the era.
		In contrast to their American conservative counterparts, however, they did not undertake as dramatic an ideological turnaround in the first half of the 20th century in rejecting mercantilism and nascent notions of the welfare state.

		The Conservative party’s commitments to a strong confederation, national economic development, and close ties to Britain were continued by subsequent Conservative prime ministers, John J. Abbott, John S. Thompson, Mackenzie Bowell, and Charles Tupper.
		The growing problem of Quebec autonomy contributed to another two decades of Liberal government; Joe Clark, party leader from 1976 to 1983, was briefly prime minister in 1979.
		She was succeeded as party leader by Jean Charest, who led the national party to a partial recovery in the 1997 elections, but the party’s full recovery was hampered by the emergence of the Reform party (later the Canadian Alliance).

		Political parties in Canada emerge from nowhere (generally nowhere is on the western prairie), surge into power, squabble among themselves, lose credibility and office, and then disappear altogether or endure a purgatory-like half-existence as a purely regional force.
		By preventing their party from mounting a consistent and principled opposition to the leftward maneuverings of the Grits, the Red Tories pushed the entire political spectrum further to the left.
		The Progressive Conservatives were an unusual example of historian Robert Conquest's Second Law — "The behavior of any organization can best be predicted on the assumption that it is controlled by a secret cabal of its enemies" — for the reason that they actually were controlled by a secret cabal of their enemies.

		The Parti Quebecois, which has been in power in the province since 1994, advocates Quebec's separation from Canada, although the issue has been on hold since a 1995 referendum on sovereignty was narrowly defeated.
		Most polls show that the Parti Quebecois and the "pro-Canada " Quebec Liberals of Jean Charest are neck and neck, with the conservative Action Democratique Party of Mario Dumont trailing behind.

		First elected to the Quebec House of Assembly in 1927, Duplessis became the leader of the Conservative Party of Quebec in 1933; his party joined forces with Paul Gouin's Action Libérale Nationale in 1935 to form the Union Nationale party which was successful at the polls in 1936.
		Prime Minister of Quebec in a period of widespread centralization, in the war and post-war periods, Duplessis became the most important proponent of provincial autonomy.
		Many believed his regime an anachronism, that he was corrupt, that he sold the resources of the province to the highest bidder, indeed that he was a "negro-king", that he disregarded completely human rights, that overall his years in power should be considered as ‘les années noires’ [Dark years].

	Le blog de Polyscopique: A follow-up on social conservatism and the Conservative Party
		Mike Harris, who by the way is no chardonnay socialist, understood this and his Progressive Conservative Party won two majority governments in 1995 and 1999 despite the fact that the federal Liberal Party swept Ontario in 1993, 1997 and 2000.
		But what in fact happened is that the Progressive Conservatives added over 100,000 votes to their 1995 numbers whereas the Family Coalition Party won only 0.6 percent of votes in the 1999 elections, down from 1.5 percent in the 1995 elections.
		Second, when I wrote my post about the impact of social conservatism on the Conservative Party's electoral prospects, I had no idea that one day later a movement to depose Harper would be born and that it would receive a considerable amount of attention.
