Strength in Democracy[3] (French: Forces et Démocratie, French pronunciation: [fɔʁs e demɔkʁasi]) was a Canadian 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] Fortin announced his resignation as leader on January 3, 2016.[5] The party was deregistered by Elections Canada on September 9, 2016.[6]
