Ed Broadbent on social democracy in Canada and internationally

Our good friend Metta Spencer, the host of the Project Save the World Podcast, sent us an invitation to check out her conversation with the venerable Canadian politician, Ed Broadbent.

Ed Broadbent led the NDP for 15 years, then the Rights and Democracy institute, and now the Broadbent Institute which promotes social democracy.

Their conversation winds its way through many interesting topics which every political junkie will enjoy immensely. You’ll hear Ed’s thoughts on Joe Biden’s tack to the left-wing of the Democrats, the UK’s Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn, and why Bernie Sanders’ politics aligns closely with the NDP.

You’ll even find out why host Metta Spencer sent an angry letter to former leader Jack Layton, and tore up her NDP membership card!

You can watch the interview below, or read this handy transcript of their conversation.

    Thanks so much for sharing! Fantastic ideas and also touches on the broad scope of peace, if I can add to the conversation: what is the significance of narrowing down a “jet-stream” of peace activism in a single direction? But on the other hand how can one dismiss anti-poverty, environmentalism, corporate corruption, etc as secondary initiatives??! I don’t know just a thought as some peace activists I’ve met here in BC have their hands in a lot of baskets so-to-speak.
