A Blue Grit, also known as a Blue Liberal or Business Liberal, is a member or supporter of the Liberal Party of Canada, or many of the provincial Liberal parties, who adheres to fiscal conservatism and is supportive of austerity and pro-business policies while being socially progressive. Blue Grits are thus right-leaning fiscally and but left-leaning socially. The term has also been applied to former Progressive Conservative Party of Canada members who are now Liberals, such as Scott Brison, David Orchard, and John Herron.
