Canadian and American Political Parties

[halfwaytree]

For those who follow the differences/similarities of Canadian and U.S. political parties and their policies would you agree that we do not have anything resembling the Republican Party up here?

I would say the Conservative Party up here would be akin to a party made up of Centrist Democrats in the U.S. while our Liberal Party would be closely related to those who represent the far left agenda of the Democratic Party.

Our New Democratic Party is a million miles away from anything that could ever be tolerated in the U.S.
