The Liberal Party of Canada is the oldest and longest-serving political party in Canada. The party has dominated federal politics for much of Canada’s history, holding power for almost 69 years in the 20th century—more than any other party in a developed country—and as a result, it is sometimes referred to as Canada’s "natural governing party". The principles of the party are based on liberalism as defined by various liberal theorists and include individual freedom for present and future generations, responsibility, human dignity, a just society, political…

Can a political party truly satisfy both right and left-wing voters, and what compromises would they likely have to make?
@9RBG9DH3mos3MO
Yes, we need a socially progressive yet financially tough party.
@9RC33TX3mos3MO
No, you can't please everything. You can be both fiscally responsible and socially intelligent, but the Liberal party is not doing it well.
@9RBJ6W3New Democratic3mos3MO
Yes, I think the Chrétien/Martin era and the concept of a "Progressive" Conservative party tends to show this, and broadly appeals to the moderate, incrementalist, "mushy middle" approach of most Canadians in particular.
@9RBW9ZB 3mos3MO
They need to do what they promised at the last election; voting reform. Preferably to proportional representation. And seriously respond to climate change.

But what about the West? Trudeau only cares about the East and himself. He went on vacation to another country and he said for the countries to stay home during Covid!

Reflect on the role cultural diversity plays in your community; do you see it as a strength, challenge, or both?
@9RHCG7V3mos3MO
More of strength then a challenge as for a long time and still now Canada is viewed as a multicultural hub for people of all walks of life. Therefore, if a liberal means it reflects the role that diversity plays in your community that is a good thing
@9RHQQ4T3mos3MO
Cultural diversity is fantastic. Learning from other cultures is a great thing that makes you appreciate different walks of life and view points. Unless you are indigenous when you live in Canada you are an immigrant or descendent of one and all cultures should be shared and appreciated

What are your thoughts on the legalization of same-sex marriage and its impact on societal values?
It's good, people should get to love whoever without consequences.
it is completely natural. same-sex marriage should be allowed because these people can not control the way they are it has been proven by many different science programs that being a gay individual is natural and that it is developed within the brain from a young age as well as the fact that this is an occurrence in nature as well.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How do you feel about a government prioritizing economic growth over environmental protection, and can there be a balance?
@9TMG6DR2mos2MO
I think that we can make a balance once we solve our national housing crisis.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Discuss the impact of balancing budgets on social programs; can it be done without significant harm to vulnerable populations?
@9RC79563mos3MO
Raise taxes on the upper echelon of society, capital gains, and institute an automation tax to compensate for loss of jobs to the encroaching use of AI. Reduce corporate welfare and stop propping up industrial plants that can’t compete on the economy to save a hundred jobs here and there for a photo op.
Taxing wisely and spending carefully isn’t an impossibility.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
What does equality of opportunity mean to you, and how can it be achieved in education and employment?
@9RBSLYF 3mos3MO
It means acknowledging that different people have different opportunities depending on their socio-economic background. It also relates to cyclical poverty, and acknowledging that sometimes individuals need a way to break this cycle externally, and social programs can possibly offer that.

In what ways can younger generations be encouraged to participate in politics and champion liberal values?
@9RBPNXJ3mos3MO
Get them into housing, young people are being shut out of housing. Tackle AirBnB, and tax second and third homes, the fact rents are always higher than the same unit's mortgage price is keeping people locked out of the housing market.
