| | Mackenzie King appointed Vincent Massey the first Canadian ambassador to Washington in 1926, marking the Liberal government's insistence on having direct relations with the United States, rather than having Britain act on Canada's behalf. | | | After 1867 although the provincial reform parties dominated local politics in several provinces, they had problems establishing a viable national party. | | | It continues to be damaging to the party and serves as a threat to the Liberal's prospects of forming the government after the next federal election. |
