Équipe Montréal
Équipe Montréal (English: Team Montreal) was a municipal political party that existed from 1998 to 2001 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It was founded by Jean Doré, a former leader of the Montreal Citizens' Movement (MCM) who served as mayor of Montreal from 1986 to 1994.
==Origins==
Doré, who resigned from the MCM in 1997, announced Équipe Montréal's formation at a press conference on 27 April 1998. He acknowledged having made mistakes that led to his former party's defeat in the 1994 municipal election, saying, "I became more of a spokesperson for the apparatus, the bureaucracy, rather than for the interests of the citizens." He promised to govern "more from my heart" and to pursue a policy of economic renewal if returned to office. Doré also promised that his party would freeze and eventually reduce municipal taxes, simplify government services, and restore Montreal's cleanliness, while remaining neutral on the issue of Quebec nationalism.〔"Former Montreal mayor Dore tries for comeback," ''Canadian Press'', 27 April 1998; Sarah Binder, "Doré trying for comeback in Montreal mayoral race," ''Toronto Star'', 28 April 1998, p. 10.〕 When asked if he still identified as a social democrat, Doré responded that his party would govern from a position of pragmatism.
Two sitting councillors, Pierre Goyer and Martin Lemay, were present for the party's official launch.〔Michelle Lalonde, "I'll do better job this time: Dore," ''Montreal Gazette'', 28 April 1998, p. 1.〕 Councillors Helen Fotopulos and Sammy Forcillo also joined over the following months, as did former councillor Scott McKay and former Coalition Démocratique et Montréal Écologique party leader Yolande Cohen.〔Monique Beaudin, "Dore vague on plan's details: Former mayor unveils team for comeback bid," ''Montreal Gazette'', 23 May 1998, p. 5; Darren Becker, "Fotopulos joins Dore's party: Independent Mile End councillor eyes re-election with Team Montreal," ''Montreal Gazette'', 15 August 1998, p. 3; Michelle Lalonde, "Forcillo joins old-foe Dore's party," ''Montreal Gazette'', 19 August 1998, p. 4.〕 All were candidates in the 1998 municipal election.
Doré did not initially plan for Équipe Montréal to release an election platform, and some critics charged that the party was more an electoral vehicle centered around the former mayor's personality than a proper political party.〔Aaron Derfel, "Three remain in mayoral contest," ''Montreal Gazette'', 2 May 1998, p. 1; Peggy Curran, "Dore campaign short on ideas: Plenty of personality, but little in way of platform," ''Montreal Gazette'', 23 May 1998, p. 3.〕 Doré rejected this, saying that the party was "born out of necessity" and was "not a closed political club."〔Monique Beaudin, "Dore vague on plan's details: Former mayor unveils team for comeback bid," ''Montreal Gazette'', 23 May 1998, p. 5.〕 Équipe Montréal held a founding convention in June 1998 that was attended by about five hundred people and released a platform after a follow-up convention in August.〔Michelle Lalonde, "Dore looking for credibility for new party," ''Montreal Gazette'', 19 June 1998, p. 3; Aaron Derfel, "Dore kicks off Team Montreal: 500 of the new party's faithful gather to support former mayor's bid," ''Montreal Gazette'', 20 June 1998, p. 4; Linda Gyulai, "Dore turns up heat: Makes splashy return to election race with 37 candidates," ''Montreal Gazette'', 31 August 1998, p. 3.〕
