1/My late friend Ed Broadbent wrote a great deal, and much of it hasn't really been seen for decades—a fact I am looking to change. With that in mind, I've teamed up with Clem Nocos and the Perspectives Journal to republish select pieces from Ed's back catalogue.

2/In light of the current discourse surrounding Trump's tariff threat, and the impotent responses we've seen from some Canadian politicians, this seemed like a good week for some vintage 1960s left nationalism. Link to be found below.

3/Throughout the 1960s, Canadians across the political spectrum were becoming increasingly concerned about US domination of their country's culture and economy. An important site of debate was Canadian Dimension, whose editors in 1967 called for a socialist-liberal common front.

Canadian Dimension 4/Ed Broadbent, then a professor of political science at York responded in Dimension's next issue, arguing that socialists and liberals had distinct projects that would make any such effort both incoherent and impossible.

Canadian Dimension 5/"Socialism," Ed wrote, "not nationalism or liberalism is the sole justification for wrenching Canada free from American domination." Grateful to Perspectives for republishing both the original letter and Ed's response in full. perspectivesjournal.ca/canadian-socia…

Ed Broadbent died exactly one year ago. Working with him was one of the great honours of my life, and he's still in my thoughts every day.

To mark the anniversary of Ed's passing, I teamed up with Perspectives to publish his speech to the '75 NDP convention. “Our socialist challenge is to tackle the economic question. This fundamental question is about economic power, and who will wield it." perspectivesjournal.ca/socialist-chal…

I can't say too much just yet, but I've spent much of the past year working away on various projects related to Ed's ideas and legacy and will have a lot more on those soon.
