==Policies==
The Liberal party has always supported leftist policies, although not to the levels of the NDP. Historically, the main voting points of the liberal party were defined by the theories of Liberal Theorists. Recently, however, a plethora of new ideologies are included in the party platform, including legalizing [[marijuana]], extending Same-Sex rights, increasing [[renewable energy]] resources, and increasing corporate tax to pre-conservative levels of 18% (Currently at 16.5%).
