Political party in Canada
Strength in Democracy [3] French : Forces et Démocratie French pronunciation: [fɔʁs e demɔkʁasi] federal political party founded in 2014 by two Quebec Members of Parliament (MPs). From October 2014 to October 2015, the party was represented in the House of Commons of Canada by its two founding members, Jean-François Fortin and Jean-François Larose . The party was led from its inception by Fortin.
The party failed to win a seat in the 2015 federal election , and both its sitting MPs were defeated.[4] [5] Elections Canada on September 9, 2016.[6]
History [ edit ]
The Strength in Democracy party was formed on October 21, 2014, by Jean-François Fortin , a member of the Bloc Québécois , and Repentigny MP Jean-François Larose , a member of the New Democratic Party . The two MPs stated that the four major federal parties in Quebec (the Conservatives , New Democratic Party (NDP), Liberals , and Bloc Québécois ) were focused on power and politics over representing their constituents.[7] [8]
Fortin, who had run for the leadership of the Bloc Québécois (BQ ) in 2011 , had left the BQ in August 2014 to sit as an independent MP citing disapproval of new BQ leader Mario Beaulieu .[9]
The party announced that it would run candidates outside of Quebec in the 2015 federal election under the name "Strength in Democracy", and its first candidate, Toban Leckie, was announced in Peterborough—Kawartha .[3] Avalon , was the first transgender candidate in a federal election.[10]
Independent MP Manon Perreault , who had been expelled from the New Democratic Party after being convicted for mischief, was announced on August 12, 2015, as the Strength in Democracy candidate in Montcalm where she sought re-election.[11]
