Encyclopedia > 1944 Quebec election
(Redirected from 1944 Quebec election)

In the Quebec general election on August 8, 1944, the Union Nationale under Maurice Duplessis defeated the incumbent Quebec Liberal Party under Adélard Godbout.


This election marked Duplessis's comeback after having defeated Godbout in the 1936 election and having lost to him in the 1939 election. Duplessis would go on to win another three elections in a row, for a total of five terms of office (four consecutive), before dying in office in 1959.


In this wartime election, Godbout's support for Canadian prime minister Mackenzie King in the Conscription Crisis of 1944 may have contributed to his defeat.


The Bloc populaire won four seats on an anti-conscription platform. The Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (predecessor of the NDP) won one seat with David Côté, but in July 1945 he decided to sit as an independent.
