In today's Globe and Mail, Lawrence Martin, with the support of NDP candidate Micheal Byers, writes that we should consider dropping the "New" from our party's name. I must emphatically oppose this advice and urge all other New Democrats to join me.
The principles we hold so strongly today resonate from our past and our origins. We cannot turn or back on who we are, just because some people prefer things to be new and shiny. From our inception, we stood up for the vulnerable and the voiceless; we proudly continue to do so today.
I am proud of our roots and would be very sad to see us turn our backs on our history.
