I think the vast majority of Canadians/Americans, western democrats espouse the views of small "L" liberalism, regardless of whether they vote left or right.
As liberal democracies, the political parties all run along the same line of the spectrum, with small variances in order to appear different. The spectrum is largely between classical liberalism and social liberalism.
Each party/supporter has an idea of freedom, they just have different means to get there.
