welcome, truecanadianliberal. I look forward to your future posts.
There’s also the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation – the party that became the NDP.
But the US had the Whigs, and the NoNothings, and the Dixicrats – parties come and go. Even when they keep the same name, they can mutate, sometimes drastically. Like Theseus’ ship – from time to time a plank had to be replaced, until finally the whole boat was made of new planks, but it was still Theseus’ ship – or was it?
Hi truecanadianliberal! As a liberal mainline Christian who couldn’t care less about what happens after death, please allow me to express a hearty welcome to you and all posters (and lurkers) on these pages who don’t identify as Christian.
And I’m also happy to know another neighbor to the north!
You might be able to find a good Unitarian Universalist congregation nearby. Or, for that matter, a good Reformed Jewish synagogue. And I’m a fan of the Anglican Church of Canada, too.
Of course, your own atheism might make you feel more at home in the first of those. You’d be welcomed in either of the others, but you’d likely not prefer the liturgies. Unitarian Universalist communities are wonderful meeting places for theists and humanists with common purposes (education, justice, peace, etc.).

I think the GOP look at the Tea Party as their future. Not sure yet if the Tea Party is feeling it too

“Tea Party is made up of Conservative Democrats and Consevative Republicans”
Yeah, that’s why the Tea Party Caucus is 100% GOP.
