In the UK, the nick-name of the Liberal Party is The Whigs, while to Conservatives are Tories. In Canada the Liberals are called the Grits. I have no idea why.

“Members of the Liberal Party of Canada or a provincial Liberal party are sometimes referred to as Grits. Historically, the term comes from the phrase Clear Grit, used in Victorian times in Canada to denote an object of quality or a truthful person.”
