Question

If i was a democrat in the US. what party is the closest to them in Canada?

Answer 1

The Liberal Party of Canada, lead by Stephane Dion.

Answer 2

On a scale from left to right (leaning politics), you have in order:

New Democratic Party (Canada)

The Liberal Party (Canada)

The Bloc Quebecois (Canada)

The Conservative Party (Canada)

The Democratic Party (USA)

The Republican Party (USA)

So in fact, the closest party to the U.S. Democrats, from an ideological point of view is the Conservative Party of Canada. Both american parties lean farther right than any Canadian party.

That's why Canadian Conservative voters might tend to identify with the Democrats although presidents and prime ministers tend to warmer relations as Conservative-Republican and Liberal-Democrat... for lack of alternatives.

Nixon hated Trudeau. Mulroney loved Reagan. Chretien didn't get along with Bush at all... but who could like either of them.

Answer 3

Liberals, of course!

Answer 4

The party hat closest resembles the American parties are :

Democrats- Liberals

Republicans - Conservatives

I usually  vote Conservative in Canada but I also prefer the Democrats in the USA. Go figure.
