	Jean Drapeau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jean Drapeau CC, GOQ (February 18, 1916 – August 12, 1999) was a Canadian lawyer and politician who served as mayor of Montreal from 1954 to 1957 and 1960 to 1986.
		The son of Joseph-Napoléon Drapeau and Berthe (Alberta) Martineau, Jean Drapeau was born in Montréal in 1916.

		Drapeau, Jean, lawyer, politician, mayor of Montréal (b at Montréal 18 Feb 1916; d at Montréal Aug 1999).

		After 3 years of brooding and the old Québec now dead with Duplessis, Drapeau purged many of his old allies, formed a private political club, the Civic Party, and, promising Montréal a subway and clean government, won the 1960 election at the same time that all of Québec was launching into the QUIET REVOLUTION.

		Beaten in the election of 1957, Jean Drapeau hesitated to present himself as a mayoral candidate in 1960 due to the classes of voters; class C always held the balance of power and cast deciding votes against him.
		In the election of 1960, the new Prime Minister, Jean Lesage, assured him of the possibility of changing the polling method and to make it more democratic by de-stratifying Class C. The population mandated the abolition of Class C, and in 1962, Class A and B were abolished.
