The Quebec Citizens' Union was founded in the fall of 2011, when about a dozen people left the JonquièreLiberal Association with its resigning president, Alexis St-Gelais, to form a party that would appeal to progressive, federalist voters. The party's name was reserved on December 14, 2011, but it was not until February 2012 that it started appearing in various social media outlets. Social media has since become crucial to the party, becoming its primary means of campaigning.
The party was recognized by the Chief Electoral Officer of Québec on July 13, 2012.
On August 4, 2012, the UCQ published its manifesto and slogan, Finally!, for the 2012 provincial election. The UCQ nominated 20 candidates for the election, who won a total of 2,089 votes.[3] A translated English version was published on August 24, 2012.
On November 20, 2015, the UCQ announced on Twitter that the party was closing.[5]
