Europe: Liberal means free-marketeer, low regulation, absolutely a right winger.
America Right: Liberal means loving gays and government programs, ie "“The Left”.
American Center: Liberal means supporting gays and government programs. Because they’re also cowards forever running in fear of conservative branding, they prefer the term progressive.
American Left (and Canada, per you): Liberal is a corporate-backed Dem looking for no change to the underlying economic or power systems, with flavors of the European meaning. Sometimes neoliberal is used instead.
