Libertarianism in Canada
Libertarianism in Canada refers to the political activity of Libertarians in the nation of Canada. Libertarianism refers to a political philosophy that considers liberty to be a core value. Libertarianism originated as a left wing form of politics that was anti capitalist and anarchist. This form of Libertarianism is more prevent in European countries, but also popular in North America with movements such as the black bloc. In The modern United States, Libertarianism is considered an ideology that values free trade and private ownership along with social freedoms such as drug legalization, abortion, and gay marriage. In Canada, Libertarianism is closer to the United States version, with figures such as Maxim Bernier and The Libertarian Party of Canada representing Canadian Libertarianism.

Other Political Activity of Libertarians in Canada
Many Libertarians in Canada align themselves with the Conservative Party of Canada. Maxim Bernier, who is one of the most notable Libertarian figures in Canada, left the Conservative Party and formed the People's Party of Canada. Bernier is considered to no longer be a Libertarian by many due to his stance on restricting immigration, as Libertarians desire lax immigration. One issue that splits Liberations is the topic of abortion. While many believe a women has ownership over her body and that she has the right to terminate a pregnancy, others believe the fetus is it's own person, and that abortion is infringing on it's rights. The Canadian Libertarian party holds no official view on this subject, believing it's MPs should have the right to vote how they believe is best.
