“Social democracy remains the form with the greatest potential, no more, no less, for liberating the creative, cooperative and compassionate possibilities of humanity and offering dignity to all.”
« La social-démocratie reste, ni plus ni moins, la forme qui offre le plus grand potentiel pour libérer les possibilités créatives de concertation et de compassion de l’humanité et pour assurer la dignité à tous et à toutes. »
Ed Broadbent and his co-authors spoke at the Toronto Reference Library to launch their new book on Canadian social democracy.
To be humane, societies must be democratic — and, to be democratic, every person must be afforded the economic and social rights necessary for their individual flourishing.
