Ed Broadbent was the leader of the federal New Democratic Party (NDP) in Canada from 1975 to 1989. In an opinion piece published by the The Star (Toronto, Monday October 08, 2012), he argues that Canadians need to address the growing level of inequality in their country. Among the solutions, Broadbent argues, “We should seriously debate the concept of a Guaranteed Basic Income that ensures a minimum level of economic security for all, just as we now do for seniors through the Guaranteed Income Supplement.”
