The Broadbent Institute is Canada’s preeminent social democratic think-tank. Founded in 2011 by Ed Broadbent, and guided by the Broadbent Principles for Canadian Social Democracy, the Institute produces original research, convenes progressive dialogues, and trains organizers and leaders to equip social movements working to advance justice and equality.
As an independent and non-partisan organization, we believe all people have equal worth and equal rights, that we must put people and collective freedoms over profits and division, and that we all benefit from building The Good Society. We are committed to realizing the promise of a Canadian Good Society that is diverse, just, and inclusive. These values matter to us today and they matter to our future.
