Yes
And they have different meanings in how we apply them as well
Technically I am a liberal...but debate from a factual position rather than a political position
Well for me I am liberal, but liberal up here is more middle ground.... I am actually conservative in the way I think about lots of things political or non.
Well I won't be sharing my formula for how I vote here in AB.. it's kinda taboo.... But back home I vote for the person I know.. and tend to vote Liberal for the most part ( but then again it's not the same as liberal down there)
