The roots of the name are in the Great Coalition of 1864 in which various Tories and Reformers united in pursuit of Canadian Confederation which was accomplished three years later. Thus, some who used the label Liberal-Conservative, were former Liberals (or Reformers) who had joined Macdonald before or shortly after Confederation. On October 12, 1916, the last Liberal-Conservative Cabinet Minister , Sam Hughes , was dismissed, making the executive all officially Conservative Party members. Prominent Liberal-Conservative Members Of Parliament and Senators in Canadian history include:
LIBERAL CONSERVATIVE COALITION In the 1957 Election , George Rolland, a watchmaker, sought election as a Liberal Conservative Coalition candidate in the Toronto Riding of Eglinton . He placed last, winning only 252 votes, or 0.7% of the total. Both the Liberal and Conservative parties nominated candidates in the riding, so Rolland did not have the endorsement of either party.
