this Liberal party, the one whose national executive meets this weekend to plan its next leadership convention, is unlike any of its immediate predecessors. Virtually hounded out of Quebec in the last election — and perennially weak in western Canada — the Liberals have all but retreated to become the Liberal Party of Toronto.Such is the state of Canada's natural governing party that more than a third of its seats in Parliament now come courtesy of Greater Toronto.
Somebody else noticed.

Funny how everyone in the Liberal party is now named Anonymous.

But sure it is only natural that Canada’s natural governing party should be based in Canada’s natural governing city.
