5. Well...
There is the "Liberal Party", which is centrist, and IMO fairly neocon in their policies (pro-corporate, pro-privatisation, anti-social spending, etc), and the NDP (New Democratic Party) which has a power base which fluctuates year to year. The NDP is a member of SI (Socialist International), and I'm an NDP Member.
