Dialogue Over Division – Détails, épisodes et analyse

On this episode of Dialogue over Division, we are excited to welcome Adrian Brown, Executive Director of the Centre for Public Impact. With over 20 years of experience in government performance and transformation, Adrian holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and a Master of Arts in Management Studies from the University of Cambridge. He brings a deep understanding of the complexities of governance and a passion for fostering innovation and resilience in government through strategic long-term thinking.

In our conversation, Adrian shares his vision for better governance, emphasizing the need to foster an informed and engaged citizenry. We explore how addressing social issues requires acknowledging their complexity and striving for resolution rather than perfection, recognizing that each of us plays a part in the solution. We also discuss the difficulties of being a public figure in today’s polarized environment, where leaders often face intense scrutiny. While this scrutiny is necessary, it can sometimes hinder innovation and bold decision-making in government. Adrian believes that through strategic long-term thinking and learning from failures, we can build a more resilient public sector that not only withstands these pressures but thrives under them.

As we navigate these ideas, it’s essential to consider: How can we, as citizens, contribute to a governance system that is not just reactive but proactive in addressing the needs of all? What role do we play in ensuring that our government remains accountable and responsive to the evolving challenges of our time? Adrian’s insights challenge us to embrace our shared responsibility in shaping the future of governance, emphasizing that while the path may not always be easy, it is one we must commit to together.

Join us as we delve into these critical topics and discuss how we can collectively work towards a more effective, transparent, and resilient government.

Welcome to another episode of Dialogue over Division. In today's installment, we're excited to introduce Alexa Posa, a young lady who embodies the essence of proactive citizenship. Alexa's civic journey commenced unexpectedly when she was suspended from college due to not disclosing her vaccine status. Rather than sit back passively, Alexa took matters into her own hands. She made the decision to engage civically, seizing every opportunity to attend events, talk to others and try to find some answers. Driven by her curiosity about Edmonton's 15-minute city policies, Alexa took steps to gain clarity about the city's proposals. She organized meetups and arranged interviews with city councillors and other city officials, in an effort to gain clarity on behalf of her community. Indeed, Alexa is a shining example of seizing opportunities and refusing to wait for others to take action. She underscores the simple truth that all it takes to be a citizen journalist is a phone and probing questions. So, let's take Alexa's example, pick up our phones, pose some tough questions, and witness the impact we can collectively make. I look forward to witnessing Alexa's continued journey, and I hope her story inspires you to play an active role in fostering positive change within your own community.

Welcome to another episode of "Dialogue over Division" with Landon Johnston, the driving force behind the hugely successful Recall Gondek petition. When I say "successful," I'm referring to how the Recall Gondek petition has ignited civic engagement in Calgary, something all Canadians should take note of. Regardless of whether the petition achieves its goal, citizens of Calgary are sending a message to elected officials and are actively participating in democracy.

For those who may not be familiar, Jyoti Gondek is the mayor of Calgary. With her approval rating at an all-time low and her advocacy for controversial policies affecting Calgarians, Landon recognized the widespread disapproval and felt compelled to take action.

It's worth noting that Landon is a tradesman—an ordinary, good-hearted, and honest individual who saw an issue and decided to act. Motivated by his concern for justice and fairness, he launched the Recall Gondek petition, which quickly gained momentum. However, Landon and his team have faced numerous hurdles and endured many attacks along the way, from navigating administrative hurdles to responding to vandalized signs. But nothing stopped them.

At a time when civic engagement is more crucial than ever, initiatives like the Recall Gondek petition highlight the importance of ordinary citizens actively participating in the democratic process. It demonstrates how individuals like Landon can effect change and hold elected officials accountable. It is worth noting that Mayor Gondek has already accounted that she will not be seeking re-election, this is not a coincidence.

In my view, to ensure our democracy remains robust, we should actively encourage civic engagement. So, what are you waiting for? You have four more days to get involved!

In our latest episode of Dialogue Over Division, columnist Max Fawcett and I discussed a myriad of topics, including the evolving landscape of mainstream media, the impact of technology, divisive politics, government's role, and the effectiveness of public health responses during the pandemic.

Despite initial hesitation stemming from past differences and Max's critical remarks of me, I extended an invitation to him precisely because of our divergent perspectives. One item we both wholeheartedly agreed on is that it is important to elevate the level of civic engagement in this country

Through it all, our dialogue emphasized the importance of engaging in meaningful conversations, even with those we disagree with. I hope this episode serves as a reminder that shutting out differing voices risks not only failing ourselves but also our communities. Dialogue, even amid disagreement, remains essential for progress and unity.

Tune in to our episode with Max Fawcett, as it turns out, it wasn't as disagreeable as I had expected. Enjoy!

In this episode of "Dialogue over Division," I sit down with Tom Marazzo, a former Canadian military officer, computer software instructor, and provincial party candidate who gained attention for his involvement in the 2022 Canadian convoy protest.

Tom's journey from military service to activism sheds light on the importance of standing up for what you believe in, even in the face of adversity. After 25 years of service in the Canadian Armed Forces, Tom transitioned to a career in education. However, his principled stance on questioning his college's vaccine policy led to his termination in 2021.

Undeterred, Tom's commitment to his beliefs only grew stronger. He ran for a provincial party in an attempt to engage in his civic duty and emerged as a prominent figure in the convoy protest. Throughout our conversation, Tom shares insights into the challenges he faced and the lessons he learned along the way.

Additionally, Tom is the author of the #1 Best Seller "The People’s Emergency Act: Freedom Convoy 2022." In his book, he provides a firsthand account of the events surrounding the convoy protest, offering readers a deeper understanding of the motivations and struggles behind the scenes. You purchase his book on Amazon.

Join us as we delve into Tom's journey and explore the importance of standing firm in one's convictions, even when it means standing alone.

I am pleased to share my conversation with @jasonjamesbnn on this episode of "Dialogue Over Division." Jason, a writer and essayist, witnessed first hand the encroachment of censorship a few years ago a few years ago. Instead of passively accepting it, he chose to prioritize his values and principles over financial incentives and most importantly he proactively took steps and did something about it.

We delve into the concerning phenomenon of censorship and government control over information, emphasizing the critical role citizens play in keeping government power in check when legacy media fails to do so. Additionally, Jason discusses his podcast, Brave New World, where he attempts to connect puzzle pieces of our rapidly changing world, one by one.
