Canada

They are closer to the CPC than the NDP by mine. LPC will always always always side with large corporations over labourers and citizens. They do this for neoliberal ideological reasons. That is not a left wing party.

The only friends closer in Canadian politics than a Conservative PM and a Liberal Premier of Ontario are a Liberal PM and a Conservative Premier. It's just two brands of the same thing, one that hides behind affected social conservatism, and one that hides behind faux social progressiveness.

The Bloc are not available for most Canadians to vote for, but yes, they are a left wing party, and we were certainly lucky for that when they were the official opposition. They help keep the window from being dragged further right than it already is.

The Greens attempt to be neither left nor right so they can be (in a gross misuse of this term) nonpartisan. I don't know about today, but earlier in their formative period, most Green candidates were ex conservative candidates of various parties who found that true conservatism was not welcome in the modern right wing. Green philosophy is very compatible with both right wing conservatism and left wing idealism.

The LPC are the biggest whores in Canada and it's just branding and shrewd exploitation of social issues that make people think otherwise.
