A few years ago, Québec solidaire was the main opposition party, “preparing to govern”, while the Parti Québécois was on its last legs. Today, having “moved to the center”, QS stagnates in the polls around an eternal 16 per cent. Meanwhile the PQ has risen from the ashes and leads the polls.

Hundreds of communists across the country took to the streets on April 6 to declare the founding of the Revolutionary Communist Party. In Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, Sherbrooke, Edmonton, Vancouver, Victoria and elsewhere, comrades held rallies, firmly planting the flag of communism.
