Ed’s internationalism, and his solidarity efforts in Latin America especially, have never been as well known as the rest of his career. Which is a shame, because Ed put considerable energy into these efforts at the height of his popularity as a national politician.
Last week, I had the opportunity to speak about Ed Broadbent’s international engagement at Progress Summit in Ottawa. For the many who couldn't be there, I've published my remarks in full. www.lukewsavage.com/p/toward-a-n...

Competition fails to control prices in these situations of emergencies.
While during normal times competition can control prices, more shocks are coming. If the worst of times for most people are the best of times for companies, economic resilience is out of reach.
The economic growth agenda isn’t made for everyone. Most Canadians don’t think that economic growth under PM Carney’s plans will change their household’s financial situation.

Keynote speaker David Adler explains that 10% of all global wealth is offshored
Imagine how we could support steel workers and auto workers facing plant shut down. Imagine how we could support young people.
Today I was at the @broadbent.bsky.social Progress Summit, speaking with Dr. Danyaal Raza about the future of Medicare in Canada. Fairness and trust are fundamental to a universal health care system, yet these values aren't holding true. We must remember that access to health is a basic human right.

National Post headline: "AI, a live issue in NDP leadership race, takes centre stage at left-wing Progress Summit," addressing disinformation and AI concerns.
“The role the institute plays is to instigate different views within the (progressive) tent. The summit is never a presentation of ‘here’s what we all conform to’ but rather ‘here’s where we have multitudes.'”
