Riding the Rapids: The White-Water Rise and Fall of Quebec’s Anglo Protest
|
Abstract |
Robert Libman was the head of Equality Party, an anglophone-rights provincial political party, from the 1989 to 1993. The Equality Party was founded in 1989 by anglophone Quebecers in protest to the Liberal Party’s Bill 178. The protest party’s program advocated the “equality” between the French and English languages in Quebec by opposing Bill 101, which recognizes French as the province’s only official language, and Bill 178, which restricted the use of languages other than French on outdoor signs. Four members of the Equality Party were elected in the 1989 provincial general election, including Libman. Libman left the party in 1993 in protest against the hard-line policies advocated by some members of the party, and sat in the National Assembly as an independent.
