I initially removed this, and it was reverted. I don’t want an edit war so, I will ask, how is this relevant to the liberal party page? I understand that they play a role in the confidence and supply of the liberal government but it seems to me that doesn’t need to be on the Liberal Party page.

I think there should be consideration for placing the Liberal Party of Canada on the Centre-right to Centre-Left spectrum, as evidenced by shared centre-right policies with the Conservatives, from back-to-work legislation, prioritizing tax cuts that benefit 6-figure earners, and rejection of many NDP policies like the wealth tax
I would at least like to hear opinions on this. Perhaps a compromise would be like what we see on the NDP page, which is a centre left party that has a left-wing faction. The Liberals could be seen as a centrist party with both centre left and centre right factions 174.89.12.70 ( talk) 05:28, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
The pre Justin Trudeau Liberal party of the early 21st century no longer exists.The pendulum always swings back. It wasn't so long ago that the Liberal Party had a succession of right-leaning leaders (Turner, Chretien, Martin) and that people began to say its left-wing tradition was dead… and before Turner, people were saying the same thing of the party's right wing. And you could make similar observations about the other parties, too. I do not think it is helpful, or even really ideal, to write these articles from such a recent viewpoint, because every leader pushes the party in a slightly different direction, and trying to keep on top of that just means a lot of micromanaging and squabbling: if the Liberals take a position to the left of the NDP once or twice, would we now edit them as being to their left? If so, then do we change it back if the Liberals go to their right on other issues? Just seems like an endless amount of arguing. A longer, historical view is much easier to manage, but I also think it provides better context for the reader. — Kawnhr ( talk) 16:36, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
Our political parties haven't really moved on the spectrum in a century....

I think with recent decisions such as $10-a-day child care, the dental care program, and the framework for national pharmacare, we should heavily consider adding social democracy to its ideology. This is the party that brought national healthcare federally, and now under Justin Trudeau and it has moved even more left-wing compared to where it was before him being leader, I believe currently it’s aligning with social democracy more than Social Liberalism.
I know some people will argue that the dental care and pharmacare initiatives were only undertaken due to the supply and confidence agreement with the NDP. However, the fact that Justin Trudeau was willing to work with the NDP demonstrates his left-wing stance, and he actually implemented the measures they requested in the agreement.
This party, which introduced national healthcare, $10-a-day child care, and legalized marijuana showing a trend towards drug liberalization, and is now also providing dental care for low-income Canadians and potentially pharmacare for contraceptives and diabetic medication. These actions illustrate that social democracy should be added to the party's ideology I believe this party under Justin Trudeau is as Left wing if not more than the Labour Party of the UK under Keir Starmer. I’m interested to hear other peoples opinions. Black roses124 ( talk) 23:59, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
