The BC Liberals are effectively a coalition of liberal and conservative forces in BC, one which many Conservatives are now leaving for the BC Conservative Party. I think calling the party as a whole "conservative" is questionable, particularly with Clark as leader. If the BC Liberals are conservatives, why aren't the Quebec Liberals as well?

The party is still considered by many to be centre-right, no matter Christy Clark's personal views are. She's only the leader and her party has a sizeable centre-right conservative faction. They're more to the right then other parties mentioned here that have conservative in their name. Here are recent sources that mention that they are on the right. [1] [2] [3] [4] If you can find sources that say the Quebec Liberals are a conservative party then fell free to add them.— Preceding unsigned comment added by User:Newfoundlander&Labradorian ( talk • contribs) 20:30, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
I am in agreement with VoG. Capital-C Conservative has a specific meaning in Canada. → ROUX ₪ 20:40, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
Can we look at creating just one template for all political parties in Canada, at least the major parties? We could have it divided by province. I've always found these templates a bit annoying seeing every province has a Liberal Party, yet most aren't aligned with each other or the federal party. Some provinces have Progressive Conservative parties some don't. Newfoundlander&Labradorian ( talk) 16:20, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
What if we created a modified version of {{ British political parties}}, which would simply list all the political parties by the number of seats they have in the HoC, Senate, and provincial and territorial legislatures? Or is it too messy with 13 different legislatures? -- Kevlar ( talk • contribs) 15:37, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
I understand that the discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Templates/Archive_6#Advertising_colors means that we are not supposed to use party colours in templates like this.-- Darryl Kerrigan ( talk) 06:10, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
Is this template for parties that are conservative and parties that are not conservative but centre-right, or is it for parties that are both conservative and centre-right? If it is the former then far-right parties could be included; if it is the latter then the British Columbia Liberal Party could be included. The name of the template is "Canadian conservative parties", but conservatism encompasses a lot of views while "centre-right" is less so. CentreLeftRight ✉ 01:25, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
