  • Liberal–Unionists were supporters of the Liberal Party of Canada who, as a result of the Conscription Crisis of 1917 rejected Sir Wilfrid Laurier's leadership and supported the coalition Unionist government of Sir Robert Borden. Much of the Ontario Liberal Party declared themselves to be Liberal–Unionists, including provincial party leader Newton Rowell, who joined Borden's Cabinet, and a variety of Liberal MPs. In the 1917 election, many Liberals ran as Liberal–Unionists or Unionists against the Laurier Liberals. After the war, most Liberal–Unionists rejoined the Liberal Party despite efforts by Borden and Arthur Meighen to make the coalition permanent by renaming the Conservative party the National Liberal and Conservative Party. Several Liberal–Unionists ended up staying with the Conservatives including Hugh Guthrie and Robert Manion. (en)
  • Libéral-unioniste est le terme qui désigna les membres du Parti libéral du Canada qui rejetèrent les opinions de Wilfrid Laurier durant la Crise de la conscription de 1917 et appuyèrent le gouvernement conservateur de Robert Borden. Cette coalition fut connue sous le nom de Parti unioniste lors des élections de 1917. Plusieurs membres du Parti libéral de l'Ontario se déclarèrent eux-mêmes Libéral-unioniste, ainsi que le chef Newton Wesley Rowell qui joignit le cabinet de Borden. C'est ainsi qu'en 1917, plusieurs Libéraux-unionistes ou Unionistes disputèrent les élections contre leurs anciens collègues, les Libéraux de Laurier. Après la guerre, plusieurs Libéraux-unionistes retournèrent du côté de Libéraux malgré les efforts de Borden et d'Arthur Meighen de créer une coalition permanente qui aurait été connue sous le nom de Parti national libéral et conservateur. Certains Libéraux-unionistes restèrent dans les rangs conservateurs comme Hugh Guthrie et Robert Manion. (fr)
