| | Liberal Party of Quebec |
 | | Under Jean Lesage, the party won an historic election in 1960, ending sixteen years of rule by the conservative Union Nationale, and ushering in the Quiet Revolution. | | | Bourassa resigned from the party's leadership after the loss of the 1976 Quebec election to René Lévesque's Parti Quebecois. | | | This mirrored the situation in Ottawa, where the arrival of Wilfrid Laurier in the 1896 federal election marked the beginning of Liberal dominance at the federal level. |
