Letters

-

In order to be more concise with my writing (and to enable me to quickly and shortly post updates to twitter – I am getting a new account) I am reducing my 3 letter acronyms for political parties down to a single letter. I am also standardizing the 3 letter ones. They will be as follows.

Federal, modern
C = Conservative
L = Liberal
N = New Democratic
B = Bloc
G = Green
1990s
C = Canadian Alliance
P = Progressive Conservative
R = Reform
1970s
S = Social Credit
R = Ralliment Creditites
1920s/30s/40s
F = Co-Operative Commonwealth Federation
C = Conservative
P = Progressives
U = United Farmers
R = Reconstruction
Earlier
P = Patron of Industry

Provincial
Quebec
P = Parti Quebecois
L = Parti Liberal Quebec
A = Action Democratique Quebec
Q = Quebec Solidarie
V = Parti Vert (Greens)

Historic
E = Equality Party
N = Nouveau Parti Democratique
R = Ralliement Creditiste (or National)
N = Parti Nationale Popularie

The remainder of the provinces are very similar to federal, with only the following things being of note.
