Political parties

edit

Québec 21

edit
Slogan : Pour un vote historique / Pour participer au changement (English: For a historical vote / To participate in change)

Démocratie Québec

edit
Slogan : Ensemble, c'est mieux (English: Better together)

A year before the election, on October 3, 2020, Jean Rousseau, the party's only member on the City Council, was named the party's leader by acclamation.[2]

Transition Québec

edit
Slogan : Changeons de cap (English: Let's change course)

The party Option Capitale-Nationale appeared in previous municipal elections as the municipal wing of Option nationale, a progressive sovereigntist party. Following Option Nationale's merger with Québec Solidaire, Option Capitale-Nationale changed its name to "Transition Québec" in May 2020. Like its provincial counterparts, Transition Québec focuses on issues of environmental sustainability, Left-wing solidarity, and feminism. Since June 19, 2019, the party has been led by Jacquelyn Smith, who ran in the previous election in the Limoilou district as a member of Démocratie Québec.[3]

Québec Forte et Fière

edit
Slogan : Pour une ville forte et fière (English: For a city strong and proud)

On February 15, 2021, a new political party joined the election. Bruno Marchand, former director of the United Way of Canada in the Capitale-Nationale, Chaudière-Appalaches and Bas-Saint-Laurent regions, was named as party leader. The party supported Quebec City Tramway project of Mayor Labeaume's administration, but withheld judgement on a possible third line between Québec City and Lévis until it was officially announced by the government. Portraying themselves as centrist, the party hopes to establish "positive and benevolent leadership".[4]
