What are the main political parties in Canada?

There are some flaws in Canadian political system which needs immediate attention. For instance, there is no connection between federal and provincial political parties which means that there are political issues which arise as a result. Having same names never mean that the ideology is as well. There is only one political party in Canada which is very strongly connected to its provincial branches. It is the New Democratic Party. The political or ideological differences in parties also lead to results which could be fatal. Though such situation has never arisen there is no exception to this. The crown, as well as the Prime Minister, should take care of the issue. Some of the famous political parties in Canada are as follows. These are registered with Election Canada or Election Commission of Canada as well:

Liberal Party of Canada

Liberal Party of Canada Leader Justin Trudeau

It is the current largest political party of Canada when it comes to the number of MPs. There are 183 MPs of this party in Canadian Federal Parliament and 19 senators. Justin Trudeau is the current head of the Liberal Party of Canada. The main ideology of this party is liberalism in every walk of life. From political to social aspects this party has always raised slogans of liberalism. It was founded in 1867 and Anna Gainey is the current president. It is the largest political party in the country and it is worth mentioning that Justin Trudeau is the current and 23rd Prime Minister of Canada.

Conservative Party of Canada

Though it was found in 2003 the party enjoys immense support in Canada. It has 39 senators in Parliament which are highest. The ideology of Conservative Party of Canada is mixed which means that they stand for conservatism in general but at the same time they also ask for economic liberalism. The total number of MPs in the parliament is 99 which is second highest after Liberals. Andrew Scheer is the current leader of the party. The total number of registered members is approx. 250,000+ and increasing. Scott Lamb is the current president of this party.

Bloc Québécois

Bloc Québécois leader Martine Ouellet

It is the fourth largest party of Canada with 10 MPs in the parliament. It is a well-known fact that the Quebec is asking for the referendum for freedom and this party stands for it. In addition to this, the social democracy is another part of their overall ideology. Martine Ouellet is the current leader of this party. Mario Beaulieu is the president. The party once enjoyed immense support in Canada but there it has been plummeted due to lack of organization. Still, this party managed to get around 825,000+ votes in last general elections.

New Democratic Party

Founded in 1961 New Democratic Party is the third largest party with respect to the number of MPs in Parliament. Tom Mulcair is the current leader of the party and Robert Fox is the national director. Social democracy is the main ideology of the party. There is a total of 44 MPs of the party in Canadian Federal parliament which is a healthy number. The party has a membership number of around 125,000.

Canadian Political issues

There are many issues and problems which are faced by Canadians in this era. From humanitarian issues to economic downfalls there is a very lengthy list. The manifesto of the political parties is all that is required by the voters to choose their favorites. Currently, Justin Trudeau is the prime minister of Canada. Under his governance, there is an impressive growth the vibes of which can be felt around the world. However, there are some issues on which the political stance of the country or to be specific Trudeau government is not clear. These political issues can lead to the downfall of the party in coming elections. To ensure a safe return to power in the next elections it is very important to address the following issues. It is also the need of the hour to present the direction of the government to the general public:

Canadian economy

The oil price collapse in 2016 has left many questions for the Canadian government. Among the manifesto of Trudeau, the investment in government infrastructure was at the top. However, there has been no significant improvement in the situation. The worst part is that it has affected the GDP which has seen a very limited amount of growth. Aggressive policies in this regard should be devised by Trudeau government as it could lead to deficits which are irreversible. The current deficit is around $10 BN which could rise in the coming years as the policies in this regard are not clearly defined. It is also clear that the current plan and strategy has failed completely.

Climate Change

HAARP has indicated that major climate changes would hit Atlantic Canada. It would make the region so hot that human survival will not be possible. All of this happens in 2150 but now is the time to address and mitigate the issue. Though the climate change pact has been signed by Canada in Paris there are no deterrence methods devised. It means that what the pact says has been completely overlooked by the Canadian government. The main part of the document says that it is incumbent upon the governments to keep climate change under 1.5 degrees per year. Lower carbon emissions are the first thing. Then is the pollution of all kinds.  There are no significant measures which have been taken in this regard. The disparity in opinions of the member states and Trudeau government will lead to fatal results.

Marijuana issue

Manifesto of Trudeau’s party was to legalize the possession of weed in all provinces of the country. It is worth pointing that Canadian government is one of the most loyal in the world. Besides future marijuana legalizing, gambling was permitted long time ago. Nowadays it is easier to pop in online casino listing, rather than wandering in search of a gambling house. It has been a long time now but nothing has been done in this regard. The dealers are facing issues in this regard and they are asking the government to clear the policies in this regard. The Ontario related political figures have asked the government to keep the supply in its own hand. The union ministers have also given a go ahead in this regard but all this is of no use. There are no signs on the Trudeau’s part. As per experts, there are hurdles in this way but still, the policy should be formulated soon.
