The definition of Liberalism

Good day LG,
Arithmetic is the determining factor of all achievement known to man.;-)
Obviously that didn't go well for ya....
Resorting to the ridiculous now? Who has 20?
No it isn't. Quantity isn't everything, you know.
For instance, you have 40 rotten apples and 1 good apple. You'd eat the rotten ones?
Arithmetic is just a tool.
Liberal Party has dominated federal politics for much of Canada's history, holding power for almost 69 years in the 20th century, more than any other party in a developed country.:smile:
Confederation was 1867. 69 years is less than half the time in a two party race....
Speaks better for the other guy.
Well, Canadian history shows according to your analogy, that the Canadian people to vote Liberal these many times they like rotten apples, hardly the case, try another one.8O

The 20th Century LW, NOT THE 18th
Confederation was 1867. That, my great learned friend, is the 19th century - and the part of Canadian history you choose to ignore in your quest to be right. This is the 21st century.
When you're building a house, Sock, do you omit the foundation so the roof can look pretty?
yes ok 21st Century is that take the 69 years away from the Liberals?
by the way the foundation and the roof i like, Conservative rule is what I have a problem with that is a bad foundation.:smile:
Foundation is part of the complete house - the complete picture - the WHOLE truth - the starting point. Did I say somewhere it had anything to do with Conservatives? I'm saying the 20th century is just as much history as the 19th. Cherry-picking just one period in time that best paints the picture you want isn't a true picture. That's called propaganda.
You're defining Liberals just fine - exactly the same as the other gangs.
Do you know how to Google?
Why? Ask them. I speak for myself.
Liberals have ruled less than half of Canada's time. No need to cook the books or move any goal posts - even if it seems to be official policy.

That is to deep into a bias against, on the Liberal political ideology, your views make democracy work, enlighten poor Socrates.
And y ?:idea:
Sock ... you're earning the puppet surname today aren't you?
Why? How many ways can one say I don't know to get it to sink through your skull.
Here:
List of Prime Ministers of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that you can do all reading and the adding and subtracting stuff - though it seems research is out of your league. It does come with pictures - just in case.... ;-)
C'mon. You really can't be as dense as you portray, can you? Are you one of those shills - someone whose job it is make Liberals look like complete dolts?
:smile::lol:
Since confederation 1867
The longest Prime Minister was Liberal William Lyon Mackenzie King 3 times held office for 21 years ....
Second longest Liberal to hold office since Confederation was Sir Wilfrid Laurier one time elected and held office for 17 years 11 July 1896 6 October 1911......
Third longest and most known the honourable Pierre Trudeau 20 April 1968
4 June 1979, in office for 11 years Pierre Trudeau 3 March 1980 - 30 June 1984, in office for 4 years, in total 15 years...................
On three Liberal Prime Misters we see 47 years of Liberal rule that has shaped Canada to what it is today, a beautiful country where many want to adopt as a home land.
Liberals in office less then a year
Liberal John Turner 30 June 1984 17 September 1984, in office for 3 months
The longest Prime Minister for the Conservatives was
Conservative Brian Mulroney 17 September 198 25 June 1993, just over 8 years
6 Conservative Governments since confederation were in office for only one or less then one year
Conservative Sir John Abbott 1891-1892, in office for 1 year
Conservative Sir Charles Tupper 1 May 1896 - 8 July 1896, 3 months in office
Conservative Arthur Meighen 10 July 1920 - 29 December 1921, 6 months in office
Conservative Arthur Meighen 29 June 1926 - 25 September 1926, 3 months in office
Conservative Joe Clark 4 June 1979 3 March 1980, 10 months in office
Conservative Kim Campbell 25 June 1993 4 November 1993, 5 months in office
All though you mentioned that I move the goal posts in the name of propaganda, this above confirms that my math was off and this math above is better then what I was suggesting, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,in favour of the Liberals. Who is the dolt? Thanks for helping me with the right proof to my argument. Hey we are all friends here. No need to pull each others hair off.:lol:;-)
Libs - 83 years. Cons - 56. 21 Lib gov'ts to 19 Con. Not big news. I knew your 69 was low.
See? It doesn't hurt to learn does it?
Ye and your point? with regards who has provided the strongest Government in favour of the people? The Conservatives? lets keep the 6 that could not stay in power more then a year, vs the Liberal only one John Turner. Again is the party that shaped Canada to what it is today? My friend the answer is clear.
these numbers below mean nothing............................
83 years. Cons - 56. 21 Lib gov'ts to 19 Con
Nope.... Not a damned thing. We are people ... NOT a party. I don't support party politics. That's not a government of the people.
