Ed Broadbent Spent a Lifetime Seeking Democracy, Equality and Real Freedom
You might know Ed Broadbent as the former leader of Canada's federal NDP.
But Broadbent was more than just a political party leader -- he also spent a lifetime seeking social and democratic change outside partisan politics in academia and civil society, both in Canada and around the world.
On this episode of Sources, PressProgress Editor Luke LeBrun is joined by Luke Savage, a contributor to Jacobin and co-author of Broadbent's book Seeking Social Democracy, to explain and remember Ed Broadbent's life and his ideas.
