Cordially invites you to a
Breakfast
With
Les Campbell
Senior Associate for Strategy and Regional Director
at the Washington-based National Democratic Institute for International Affairs

Topic:

Canada's New Democratic Party: Radicals or Social Democrats?
The Future of the New Democratic Party: Prospects for Policy Renewal, Structural Modernization and Internal Democratic Reform at the November 2001 Policy Convention.

The federal New Democratic Party is at a crossroads. Its November 24-25 convention in Winnipeg will be a harbinger of whether or not the NDP cements its direction of the last ten years and becomes unapologetically the political voice of the marginal left or whether it chooses to be a modern social democratic party seriously vying for power in the Blair mode, or, more appropriately, the Roy Romanow/Gary Doer mode.
