That isn't going "backward", that is going "back" to the days when they were an effective organization.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('12886','Scott Tribe'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('12886','Scott Tribe','I don\'t know Chadd.. you\'re trying to claim the OYL Roots team is going &quot;backward&quot; with their approach, but I\'d rather they go &quot;back&quot; to the days when they were passing progressive motions like on missile defence and same-sex marriage - then be subservient tot he main Liberal Party, as it appears they are now.

This slate has experience combined with new up and coming young Liberals in Ontario who are full of energy and enthusiasm. Jacob has done a great job as President and he would do an even better job if he had the opportunity to have a second term given he would have a year under his belt. This team is all about going forward, building on the strengths of the OYL not backwards and that is what I support.

I was there when the same sex marriage issue was being debated the first time and was defeated, then brought back later. Ahhh, the floor fight! The one thing I have to say I hope doesn't happen of all the OYL Roots stuff, is that the two groups never make it personal. I know former OYLers who have worked together, or who got married to each other, or had kids together. I also know former OYLers who hold a grudge to this day over stupid things done and said in a moment of thoughtlessness.  A total shame, IMO. Anyway, I hope they do succeed. It was hella lot of fun back then, and they brought in and kept in a lot of good people who are still here to this day. Never discount the value of a good party to build a good Party!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('12803','Aurelia'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('12803','Aurelia','This post has brought back some memories for me of my OYL days Scott.
