The New YCL in Canada
Unsuccessful attempts to reorganize the YCL happened in 1994 and 2000. A youth group called the "Red Star Youth Collective" was formed in Toronto, but soon renamed itself Young Left and split with the Party.
In fall of 2003 a conference in Vancouver was held which formed a Young Communist League Preparatory Committee. When interest was expressed by youth across the country, the YCL expanded to Ontario. In 2004-2005, the YCL was among many groups, including Young Left, who organized a delegation to the 16th World Youth Festival in Caracas.

Famous quotes containing the word canada:
“What makes the United States government, on the whole, more tolerable—I mean for us lucky white men—is the fact that there is so much less of government with us.... But in Canada you are reminded of the government every day. It parades itself before you. It is not content to be the servant, but will be the master; and every day it goes out to the Plains of Abraham or to the Champs de Mars and exhibits itself and toots.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
