[edit] Crédit social uni
This statement about the Parti crédit social uni is erroneous as far as I can tell :
- Social crediters who did not follow Samson into the Liberal Party may have joined the Parti credit social uni, which was formed in 1981 by a merger of the Parti nationale populaire (PNP) and the Ralliement créditiste du Québec [1]. The PNP was the result of a split in the RCQ in 1975.
- (Note : Replaced footnote with direct link to the web page as archived by web.archive.org, since it is no longer available directly.)
The source actually specifies that : "Both parties disappeared at the beginning of the 80s and were replaced by the em>Parti crédit social uni (United Social Credit), founded in 1979."
Given the general context, the author presumably meant that the PCSU was a new party based on the social credit ideology, without trying to imply any official link between the PCSU and the Ralliement créditiste.
According to this book : Bernard, André [1981]. Québec : élections 1981 (in French). Montreal: Hurtubise HMH, p. 158. ISBN 2890455009., the RCQ and the PNP were dissolved, and no mention is made of them merging to form the Parti crédit social uni/United Social Credit.
An article from the Globe and Mail also fails to mention such a thing : Canadian Press. "Party leader seeks election in Quebec vote", The Globe and Mail, October 20, 1979, p. P-2. That article does mention however that the PCSU was a provincial wing of the federal Social Credit Party of Canada.
I have changed the article accordingly. — ABCXYZ (talk) 20:16, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
