Don't confuse Canada's Liberals with American liberals :hmm:
Canada's Liberal party is, in general terms, just a millimeter right of centre. The only substantial "left" in Canada is the NDP (New Democrats), which are just a millimeter left of centre.
Conservatives, relatively speaking, are the "right" - although ironically, both the major parties (Liberal/Conservative) in Canada are way the heck left on the spectrum of even the Democrats in the US. Or rather, American politics are way the heck to the right of Canada and Europe. Which is why I generally can't stand them :P
Even if I don't like any of the major parties here, I'm glad that things are keeping relatively centred here. And I'm only too glad it's a Conservative minority, which will likely let them work while severely dampening any further-right-wing tendencies.
