Municipal political parties in Montreal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Municipal politics in Montreal's city council revolve around its elected councillors, the municipal political parties to which they belong, and the mayor.
Quebec is one of two provinces in Canada that officially recognizes political parties at the municipal level, the other being British Columbia (thus making Montreal, Quebec City, and Vancouver the only major Canadian cities with this feature).[1] Political parties were legalized in Quebec by the Parti Québécois government of René Lévesque in 1978. However, they existed long before official recognition by the provincial government.[2]
