The appeal of the Labour Party in Quebec was dented by the Catholic Church, which at the time held a position of omnipotent power in Quebec, as priests instructed their flocks should not to vote for the Labour Party. Narcisse Arcand was active in the Labour Party that called for free education, old age pensions, health insurance and universal suffrage. Arcand was born into a family of 12 children and grew up in a house on Laurier street in Montreal. He is also the great uncle of the movie director, Denys Arcand. Arcand was the son of Marie-Anne (Mathieu) and Narcisse-Joseph-Philias Arcand, who was a carpenter and trade union leader.
