The '''Liberal Party of Canada''' is a federal political party within the [[Canadian]] Federal Government.  Other Liberal Parties exist in all of the Canadian Provinces, but not all are directly afflicated with the federal party.  The recent party leader [[Stéphane Dion]], was often portrayed as a very innefectual leader and is often lampooned in the Canadian media.<ref>Stéphane Dion [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLNfNsHooNo portrayed as an idiot by the CBC]</ref>  He was ousted as leader in December 2008 by [[Michael Ignatieff]] who was been continuously seen as a opportunist, and only in it for himself.

In the past, the party has been traditionally a center and  slightly left of center party based chiefly in vote rich [[Ontario]] and [[Québec]], and has been known as "Canada's Governing Party" because of the large number of elections they have won. However, the party has been rocked by a sponsorship scandal in Québec of late, and their popularity has not returned. The Liberals have not been as popular in western Canada, where voters have voted for the [[Conservative Party of Canada|Conservatives]].
