	Union Nationale (Canada) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Union Nationale was a political party in Quebec, Canada, that identified with conservative French-Canadian nationalism.
		The party was created when a group of nationalist Liberals who had quit the Parti libéral du Québec in 1934 to form the Action libérale nationale (ALN) joined with the Parti conservateur du Québec (Conservative Party, led by Duplessis), to form the Union Nationale.
		The Union Nationale was strongly aligned with the clergy in the province, and dominated Quebec politics during the Duplessis years using repressive measures such as the Padlock Law to suppress opposition and particularly the trade unions.

		As head of the Union Nationale, Maurice Duplessis led Québec from 1936 to 1939 and again in 1944 until his death in 1959.
		Although the party was originally intended to be a reform movement within the Liberal Party, the A.L.N soon realised Taschereau would not be reformed and decided to defeat him.
		After the election, instead of advocating the policies of the Union Nationale, Duplessis attacked the government for patronage, nepotism and corruption and brought forth enough evidence to force Taschereau's resignation and the defeat of the Liberal Party under Adélard Godbout in the 1936 elections.
