  Equality Party (Quebec) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Equality Party (French: Parti Égalité) is a political party in Quebec, Canada, that promotes the use of English in Quebec on an equal basis with French.
All of the party's candidates and incumbents were defeated in the 1994 general election, and the party was reduced to marginal status.
The party was formed as a reaction to then-Premier Robert Bourassa invoking the notwithstanding clause of the Canadian constitution to override a Supreme Court ruling overturning parts of the Charter of the French Language (commonly known as "Bill 101").

The massive anti-war protest movement that erupted in the global demonstrations of February of 2003 was driven into a blind alley because it was channeled behind the Democratic Party and the campaign of its presidential candidate, John Kerry.
This means the struggle against war must be connected to a social policy directed to the defense of the interests of the working class — one that places human needs above the drive for profit and the accumulation of personal wealth: that is, a socialist policy.
