Ready to take on the challenges of a new century

BC NDP Leader Carole James speaks to NDP Provincial Convention

BC NDP Leader Carole James today spoke to nearly 1000 delegates at the NDP Provincial Convention in Vancouver, underlining the importance of New Democrat values in a changing world:

"Today, there is an Opposition -- the strongest in BC history -- providing British Columbians with a better vision and a new voice for change.

And we can all be proud.

But, friends, we cannot be complacent.  We must engage the future. Because the future is a fundamental part of our tradition.

We are a young political movement born in the midst of the turbulent twentieth century. Born in response to the great challenges of the time, with a progressive vision, innovative and courageous. One that held broad social inclusion at its heart.

Ours is a proud history. And as we've always done, we must face our future with confidence and conviction.

Because British Columbia is changing fast. And New Democrats are responding. Forging a new politics, applying our values in a world very different from the world in which our party was born."
