KUNM Third Party Discussion with Elaine Bernard,, [1997]
File — Box: 10, Audiotape: 6
Scope and Contents
This show is a recorded lecture given by Elaine Bernard, the former director of the Labor Program at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia. At the time of the lecture she was the director of the Harvard Trade Union Program. This is a strong presentation about and for third parties. Bernard argues Canada's New Democratic Party (NDP) can be a model for U.S. third parties. She talks about how the NDP came to be and discusses how the party is not a major party but did manage to bring to Canada labor law reform, a national health care program, and supplementary care among other things. She likens Canada's political and moral face to that of the U.S. arguing that Canada is leaning right as much as the U.S. Bernard emphasizes that third parties do not have to win power to win reforms.
