Edward Goldenberg CM (born 1948), known as Eddie Goldenberg, is a Canadian lawyer and writer who served as a senior political advisor to Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien. Described as Chrétien's "Machiavelli",[1] from 1993 until 2003 he was chief policy advisor to the Prime Minister,[2] becoming chief of staff in 2003.[3] Along with Jean Pelletier and Aline Chrétien, he was considered Chrétien's most influential political guide.[4] Goldenberg's 2006 memoir, The Way It Works, focused on his time in government.[5]. He is the son of former Canadian Senator and lawyer Carl Goldenberg.

Career

Goldenberg first worked for politician Jean Chrétien in 1972 with a summer internship after completing his first year at McGill University Faculty of Law.[1] From 1980 to 1982 he supported Chrétien as Special Constitutional Advisor to the Minister of Justice and was one of the authors of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.[3]

In 1990, Goldenberg was "co-ordinating the 10 policy groups that have been organized to brief Chrétien on various issues and to write speeches."[6] He worked with Paul Martin, Terrie O’Leary and Chaviva Hosek "on finalizing the text of the famous Red Book, officially titled Creating Opportunity: The Liberal Plan for Canada."[7]

From 1993 until 2003 he was[2] Chrétien's aide[8] and chief policy advisor.[9] He was involved with the government when the Kyoto Protocol was signed in 1998 and then signed in 2002, and later wrote on the matter.[10] He became the Prime Minister's Chief of Staff in 2003.[3]

After Chretien left office, Goldberg became a partner at the Ottawa office of law firm Stikeman Elliott LLP and subsequently a senior partner at Bennett Jones LLP, leading the firm's government affairs and public policy practice.[11][2][3] He was a supporter of Bob Rae's bid to become Liberal leader in 2006.[12] In 2019, he was still working with Jean Chretien on diplomatic matters with China.[13]

Goldenberg's The Way It Works book

Goldenberg is the author of The Way It Works, a book about his experiences working with Chrétien.[1] It focuses especially on 1993 until 2003 during Goldenberg's time as Senior Policy Advisor to Chrétien.[14] Goldenberg's 2006 memoir, The Way It Works, was called by Maclean's "a bluntly realistic endorsement of the Savoie-Simpson thesis with none of the handwringing."[5] The memoir also covers Goldenberg's recollections of the writing process for 'the Red Book, which set the Liberal platform for the 1993 federal election.[15] In 2006, it was a finalist for the Shaughnessy Cohen Award for Political Writing.[16]
