    Administrative history

    The Liberal Party has dominated federal politics throughout the 20th century. The party first developed its formula for success under the leadership of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who was Prime Minister from 1896 to 1911. The party's ideologies developed from its position as the opposition in the 19th century and they are based on reform principles and the concept of responsible government. The Liberal Party has traditionally been anti-British in its policies and platforms unlike its Conservative counterpart. Notable Liberal leaders include Sir Wilfrid Laurier, William Lyon Mackenzie King, Lester B. Pearson, and Pierre Elliot Trudeau.
