Brodie began her legal career at the Vancouver offices of Ladner Downs and Stikeman Elliott, where she worked in corporate and securities law. In 1992, she founded her own legal aid practice focused on defending young offenders, and took on Legal Aid BC youth cases.[2]
Brodie later worked in broadcasting as a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation producer in Toronto and Ottawa. Afterwards she worked for the CKNW talk radio station in Vancouver and for the CITR-FM station at the University of British Columbia as a weekly host. While at UBC she travelled to Israel alongside the campus's Hillel organization.[2][3]
In the 2024 provincial election, Brodie ran again in Vancouver-Quilchena. She faced criticism for comments during an all-candidates debate about Indigenous autonomy and equality, which some described as offensive.[8][9][10] The Conservative Party defended her, and despite calls for her removal, she was elected with 51.6% of the vote.[11][12]
Political views
Brodie has also been a supporter of the State of Israel and participated in the March of the Living program in Poland through the Canada-Israel Committee.[2] In July 2024, she said that she found requirements in her past media roles to book critics of Israel when pro-Israeli speakers were booked as "onerous".[2]
