Montreal Island Citizens Union
Union Montreal (French: Union Montréal) is a municipal political party in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It was the governing party in the city from 2001, when it won its first election under mayor Gérald Tremblay, until 2012. Although it remains the largest single party caucus in the city government, it lost its majority in November 2012 due to a number of councillors quitting the party to sit as independents in the wake of Tremblay's resignation.
