Yes, we do. In addition, you'll hear the liberals referred to as "grits".

Yes and, ergo, Stateside RINO's are usually referred to as 'red Tories' up here.
It's also worth noting that this is indicative of the tradition political colors have been reversed nowhere other than in America.

Still remaining examples from a time this wasn't so include the expression "blue dog Democrat" and, of course, the "Bonnie Blue" flag.

Yes, they do. A Loyalist habit - and there are lots of Loyalists in Canada who maintain an abiding affection for the Queen and Union Jack flag.
