The leaders of today’s parties should take notice, this is a real politician, not a finger pointer, not an elite. Rest well Ed.
A great loss for Canadians. The man done me right when I was down and out going to Durham College in Oshawa. Cause of him,i aquired a trade and career that took me to my retirement. I cant have more praise for the only descent politician whole heartedly cared for. Thank you Honourable Mr. Broadbent. God blessto the family!!!
A decent man. Likely as honest as a politician ever can be.
The man in Oshawa. We will surely miss him. RIP 🙏🇨🇦
A time when there was some Integrity and a Commitment to the People in Canadian politics. Where has it all gone...?
America MAGA has taken over people forget we are Canadain
They've all sold their souls to the...
*"Corporate Welfare Bums"* --Jack Lewis
This is heartbreaking, he was a good man. Canada is a better place because of him. My condolences to his family and friends ❤
He was a great leader. We have tremendous respect for his integrity and good work. We need more leaders like him . May God bless his soul rest in peace .
R.I.P Mr. Ed Broadbent. A great and dignified politician! Will be sadly missed 😢
We have loss a GREAT Canadian thank you for all you did for the Canadian people RIP
Dang. Another of the greats is gone. Outspoken, plain-spoken, cared about ordinary people & the marginalized everywhere. An incredible legacy.
Enjoy the journey, Ed. Thank you for everything you've done for us.
RIP Ed Broadbent
Absolutely. A giant in Canadian politics. Will surely be missed by us in Oshawa and the rest of Canada 🇨🇦
God Bless Ed. You don’t see that kind of character in politics these days that’s for sure. Rest in Peace Ed.
I’m so sorry ! He was a man of dignity 😢
He gave his whole life to this country
I thought Ed was the best politician Canada had in decades and to this day. I did his posters on a visit to our city wayyyyy back when. RIP Sir.
Wish we had more politicians like him in Canada today. His ilk is sorely lacking.
Jack and Ed, true Canadians, RIP.
A great NDP leader. RIP.
Our family voted for him when we lived in Oshawa. RIP 😢
Current politicians could pay attention to these ethics.
I never voted NDP but ED fought for what he believed in. RIP
A great Canadian. RIP
The only election I could ever vote in I voted for Broadbent (I moved to Europe) ❤️ RIP
At least died at a golden age RIP ❤
Condolences to the family
All of us from Oshawa know the family. All good folks 🇨🇦🙏
Thank you
Oh my, this makes me so sad. He was the last Canadian politician I ever really admired, trusted and respected. After his political career, he continued working for the benefit of people everywhere. RIP, Ed.
May God give peace to his SOUL
We need fewer politicians like Poilievre and more like Ed. Ed actually wanted to help average people unlike Poilievre.
Politicians like ed are why most young Canadians will never be able to afford the price of a home in Canada.
@@richardcovello5367Let's see you back up that ridiculous claim.
@@JohnCampbell-rn8rzThe Conservatives have never been for average Canadians.
@@JohnCampbell-rn8rz I grew up in a Canada where a manual labourer could afford to get married, buy a house and support a stay at home wife and kids on his wages. Socialist policies endorsed by ed fraudulent and people like him have made that impossible.
@@waynemerlo7448Agreed, but they lie so convincingly about it.
Thank you for all you did Ed. ❤
a down-to-earth politician who Ordinary Canadians could relate to
The man in Oshawa
Decades ago, met him at the Ottawa airport. All he did was ask me what plane I was coming off, as he was expecting someone from the same flight. He came across as a completely ordinary person, and if you didn't know who he was, you'd not have known he was a politician. His dress and demeanor were completely like that of the ordinary person -- so much so, that I didn't even ask if he was Ed Broadbent or what he was doing there. No entourage, and disappeared right into the crowd. The encounter was very much face-to-face and plain language direct, which is something that we don't see a lot of today.
I loved that man. I thought he was one of the honest politicians and I voted for him.
Really sad news. Oshawa Canadian iconic leader. RIP Mr. Ed Broadbent 🇨🇦
Sorry to hear this. He was a public servant with integrity. I worked on the Byward Market in Ottawa in the 80’s and Mr Broadbent had bought flowers off of me on occasion. I don’t know if he appreciated me addressing him with Gidday Ed, but he was always pleasant and left me a tip. Tips were very few and far between so on minimum wages, any tip was most welcomed. I met him outside of work and again, he was always approachable and pleasant.
Even though i am from the States, i have always admired the late J. Edward ('Ed') Broadbent's unflinching commitment to social democracy.
Best NDP leader ever. R.I.P Ed.
💯🇨🇦🙏
Jack Layton was the best leader the NDP ever had. Ed Broadbent was the Joe Clarke of the NDP.
@@michaelhamm6805 I'd agree that Jack was a good leader however I grew up with Ed and his family all were working class folks. Jack didn't come from the working class. Who would know better than someone who grew up middle class how 99 percentage of people live?
Ed fought for a better CPP ... this is something Poilievre now wants to diminish
A shame that he never served as PM.
“He moved the NDP to the left. And the NDP moved up in the polls.” Sounds like a moment our NDP today should consider learning from.
he was a lot better guy than they have now
A truly great man, much more than a politician. I had the privilege of studying with him at Glendon College just before he ran for Parliament. He will be greatly missed.
RIP to a good man.🙏🏽
Good guy...HONEST Canadian
Thank you Ed Broadbent for being the voice for those who have no voice.
Only a few Canadians share special place in my heart. Ed Broadbent and Jack Layton are from the same cloth of people. Kind, compassion and caring heart.
RIP Ed Broadbent❤🇨🇦
A good man!
Loved my Ed. RIP.
I remember he had PM Pierre Trudeau remove the right to own property out of the Canadian constitution. That always disturbed me.
He was one of the few politicians I have vever trusted in my life..I didn't vote for him but i should have...after him you had a run of useless ndp leaders with the current one being the worse of all.. broadbent stood for canada and canadians..he had an ideology that was left , but his heart was centered on bettering life for everyone here...what we have now is absolutely horrifying
Sending prayers 🙏
Sad to hear!!
He was the leader for the time
he was a lovely man of great integrity
That guy was awesome. RIP, Ed.
Rip honest Ed 🙏
Goodbye ed
Blessed Be. May you soar home on the wings of the Angels. Peace to the World.
A giant of social democracy has passed. His legacy lives on with the NDP - the only party fighting for working class Canadians. Thank you Ed Broadbent!
If by fighting for working class Canadians you mean crushing the middle class to fortify the wealth of the government then yea... the NDP is nothing like it was back when he was the leader. They would consider him a far right extremist by todays NDP standards.
@@UltraFiero Spare us the Poilievre Conservative disinformation. You are more accurately describing Conservatives who have never been on the side of workers.
The last Conservative federal government which Poilievre was a cabinet minister in, was the most anti-union, anti-worker government in generations. They legislated fines against unions fighting for pay equity, made it harder for laid-off workers to access unemployment benefits, restricted union members’ right to strike, cut back on pension payments for retired workers and tried to discourage unionization.
Conservatives have no track record of standing up for working Canadians - they have a long track record of delivering for their Bay Street buddies over the people! Poilievre is a millionaire career politician connected to Canada’s elite!
Meanwhile, the NDP party has successfully leveraged its position in this minority parliament to secure a "Confidence & Supply" agreement and in less than 2 years has succeeded in forcing the government to get results for the working class:
- an historic healthcare advancement - a national dental care program.
- doubling of the GST rebate two years in a row.
- a Canada Housing Benefit for low-income people who are spending over 30% of their income on rent.
- forced government to make 10 paid sick days the law of the land.
- forced government to make childcare dollars permanent.
- forced government to tie funding for incentives to business to jobs for the first time ever. Full tax credit only when a company creates jobs with good wages - tied to union jobs and apprenticeships.
- forced a change to the definition of affordability making sure that federal dollars go to projects that actually deliver affordable homes.
- forced Competition Bureau to investigate food prices, who then made recommendations that the NDP is forcing government to put in place.
- called in CEOs of big grocery stores to answer questions in committee exposing that their greed is driving up the cost of food - and proposing solutions.
- forced government to remove GST from the construction of new rental apartments.
- forced government to introduce legislation that will prohibit the use of replacement workers in the event of a strike or lockout in any federally regulated industry.
This guy has been coaching longer then I've been alive lol
Ed Broadbent was a great man and he must have felt ashamed with what those using NDP name were doing and still do, to support corruption in Canada. Thank you Ed and RIP.
What? The NDP haven't been supporting Conservatives. Or Conservative corruption. What corruption are you claiming that the NDP is "supporting"?
Same on you can we please just mourn the loss of a good man RIP ED❤
@@garyhaggquist740liberal corruption
@@redunkulous9901 Can you list/name the corruption which you claim the NDP is supporting?
Meanwhile, in the last Conservative government, in which Poilievre was a cabinet minister - a total of *17 Conservatives ran afoul of the law.*
The Conservative government was fined for breaking election laws. It was caught misleading parliament, gagging civil servants, subverting parliamentary committees, muzzling scientists, harassing the Supreme Court, gagging diplomats, lying to the public, concealing evidence of potential crime, spying on opponents, *bullying and smearing disabled veterans*, and more. The Conservative PM was even held in contempt of parliament - a first for Canada and the Commonwealth.
Amazing Canadian. Outstanding human. A very, very decent man.
It speaks volumes about the intelligence of past Canadian voters that broadbent and his party never got anywhere in federal govt.
As a former NDP voter, our current iteration of social-democrat politicians are a disgrace to the legacy of this fella, Jack Layton & other true Canadians. this country is going to collapse & a lot of the people living here deserve to see it happen--tough luck!
To the young and new arrivals. You must replace him ASAP!
Jagmeet Singh is NO Ed Broadbent.
Rest in power, Ed.
mawr powa!
Broadbent was a decent man who all Canadians can admire. He had the depth of character that Layton wished for. Mulcair was too smart for the NDP and Singh is too dense and is a Cadillac NDPer.
A man who would have been a better PM than Trudeau Sr but the NDP has never had the support of enough Canadians to form a government.
Much respect for Ed Broadbent and my sincere sympathy for the family. His contribution to Canadian politics is tremendous, and I wish the current National NDP leader would take notice of how Mr. Broadbent molded the NDP into a true federal party, not a liberal puppet side show…
Canadian Federal politics is good because it's not a two party system. Some of the most qualified leaders were NDP ✌️♥️🇨🇦
He was only one come see himself what was commando in cfb petawawa.ont 1977 because they move cdn ab regt from edmonton to petawawa.he did visist navy my brother on navy ship.i talk him one day downtown ottawa.the country lost big voice for canadians sad.😢
I met him and Jack Layton the day George W. Bush came to Ottawa.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Raymond Cho is a Progressive Conservative in the Doug Ford Government now.
I wonder what he would think of the NDP Leader that is in power . I am sure not much.
No loss here….
🤡
Your the reason why I'll never vote Conservative again.
TIP Mr Broadbent ,are we going to see Jimmy cry !!
HONEST ED RIP. WE WILL NOT GET A GREAT LEADER LIKE HONEST ED.
Nobody ever called Ed Broadbent Honest Ed when he was alive. maybe you're confused with honest Ed Mirvish.
Not that devoted to Canada. When John Turner fought against free trade because he knew it would be the end of Canada's sovereignty and independence Broadbent supported US backed Mulroney.
Turning in his grave already over the state of the current ndp liberal coalition
He supported it. He has done interviews Jagmeet should push for more stuff.😂😂
Wow…cbc is not blocking comments…..defund all of this organization
🤡
You can't defund the CBC News. Cry harder.
@@mikeb5664 Harper had nine years and wouldn't, Scheer said he would and couldn't, O'Toole pretended he could and wouldn't have. Now Pooplever says he will but won't run on it. All there is are tears.
If this man did not speak against the trudeau dictatorship in recent years than he wasnt much of a person, let alone a great canadian.
Whats the point when your comments get deleted.
Thanks Justin for your freedom of speech laws.
YT is not based in Canada
I mean, did you come here to say something respectful, or...?
this isn't an approriate forum for you to vent your political spleen. try a little respect.
Lol, we have "freedom of expression" in our charter. Stop watching US tv. Fox is "entertainment" not based in reality.
Thanks for reminding me why I'll never vote Conservative again.
A loser if there was ever one.
This coming from a Fourth grade graduate whose greatest contribution to this country was snarfing down 36 Timbits in two minutes.
You are my daily reminder of why I'll never vote Conservative.
😢💔 ✊🏼🥲🧡🧡🧡✨️🕊
