The Liberal Party’s further shift leftward since 2019 and deviation from its traditional roots has made Anthony Housefather feel like he doesn’t quite fit in the party, the Montreal MP said in a recent media interview.  
“I believe that I am a liberal who would have been very comfortable in the Paul Martin and Jean Chrétien Liberal parties,” he said during a March 24 interview on the Roy Green Show.
