Most of the liberal seats in Canada are in the Atlantic provinces (Nova Scotia, PEI and Newfoundland and Labrador). Historically, the liberals had most of their seats in Quebec and eastern Ontario, however, the creation of the Bloc Québécois in 1991 resulted in them being spread in all parts of the country when Jean Chrétien won his first majority government. Now the liberals only have 8 of the 75 seats in Quebec and 11 of the 106 seats in Ontario.

Which is the most liberal state in the US or Canada for weapons laws?
Liberal, as in following the liberal party line for trying to restrict them, or liberal in the context of not being prohibitive? I can't speak for Canada, although I'd imagine Ontario would be the most restrictive, and the Yukon Territory would probably be the least. In the US, South Dakota would probably be the least restrictive, while New York, California, and Washington, DC are fighting each other for the title of most restrictive.

What political party operates more liberal?
Canada's Federal Liberal Party is Canada's oldest still existing party, though they are going through a rough patch. They ruled Canada for most of the 20th century making Canada effectively a single party state in many ways. Politically they wanted and want Liberalized Trade with the USA and closer ties to the USA rather than Britain, smaller military, more social programs and more rights for some of Canada's founding peoples. The 20th century saw them achieve most of that and the Canada we have today is for the most part their creation. Key beliefs have been flexible to enable them to maintain power. Their largest block of support has come from French Quebec with much less support in Western Canada, which was not needed in our system.
