Patriote party

The Parti Canadien, under the increasingly radical leadership of Louis-Joseph Papineau, became known as the Patriote party from 1826. It aimed to weaken the existing colonial political power by demanding administrative reforms and seeking the support of the parliament in London. Electoral victory in 1827 reoriented the party’s strategy, now focused on claiming complete control of the budget by the assembly and an elective legislative council. The radicalization of the Patriote party’s action and ideology brought about the rebellions of 1837–38. After 1840 a group of Patriotes moved away from Papineau and collaborated with Louis-Hippolyte La Fontaine within the French Canadian Reform party.
