Dialogue Over Division Eva Chipiuk

Welcome to today's episode of 'Dialogue over Division' with Dr. Murray Bessette. Dr. Bessette earned a Ph.D. in political science and an M.A. in American government from Claremont Graduate University and an M.A. and B.A. in political science from the University of Alberta. He brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our discussion, particularly in the realms of historical events, political movements, and the importance of educational initiatives.

In this episode, we delve into critical historical events and movements, with a particular focus on communism and its profoundly negative impacts. With his extensive background in political science and education, Murray provides an in-depth analysis of how authoritarian regimes rise to power, emphasizing the role of fear as a common driver.

We explore the psychology behind these regimes, dissecting the mechanisms they use to maintain control and the devastating effects they have on societies. Dr. Bessette also shares insights into the importance of learning from history to avoid repeating the same mistakes, highlighting the significance of education and awareness in fostering resilient, democratic societies.

Furthermore, we discuss why community-based solutions often lead to better outcomes than top-down changes imposed by a single authority. Dr. Bessette argues that grassroots involvement and collective action are essential for creating sustainable and effective solutions to societal challenges.

So, get ready to learn and be inspired to get involved. This episode promises to provide valuable lessons from history and practical advice on how we can all contribute to building a better future. Let's dive in and learn from the past to avoid making the same mistakes again.

Welcome to another episode of "Dialogue over Division." Today, we are joined by Fergus Hodgson, an independent economic consultant with an impressive background. Fergus is the former editor-in-chief of the PanAm Post and has served as the director of fiscal policy studies at the John Locke Foundation in North Carolina. He holds a BA in economics and a graduate diploma in political science.

In this episode, we delve into the critical importance of understanding government actions as self-interested individuals and how that impacts us both individually and as a nation. We examine how Ottawa-centric media has contributed to the distorted nature of information in the country. Throughout, Fergus emphasizes the significance of promoting personal sovereignty and the crucial role of civic engagement.

We also explore the factors that led to Canada's current state, including the events leading up to the 2022 trucker convoy—a pivotal moment when many Canadians reached their limits. Many viewed the COVID-19 mandates as the last straw amid rising living costs, indebtedness, taxes, and vanishing opportunities and civil liberties, uniting in the common cause against government overreach.

Recently, Fergus co-authored the book "Financial Sovereignty for Canadians," available on Amazon. This book, co-authored with Paz Gómez, assists those looking to take direct action and circumvent illiberalism. It details Canada's economic trajectory, explains how to protect your independence, and offers escapes from the status quo.

Join us for an enlightening conversation that sheds light on the economic and political dynamics shaping Canada today.

Get ready for another episode of 'Dialogue over Division' as we welcome Shane Wenzel, President & CEO of the Shane Homes Group of Companies. With years of experience navigating the intricacies of development and housing, Shane brings a wealth of knowledge about this subject that often seems overwhelming for the average citizen.

In this episode, we dive deep into the impact of government policies on the housing market. Shane has been involved in providing policy advice and publicly shedding light on how government regulations impact the homebuilding process. One key takeaway from our discussion? Despite the rhetoric and photo ops, it's clear that no level of government is directly involved in building homes. Instead, they contribute by crafting rules and regulations that can either facilitate or impede home construction and consequently the housing market.

Particularly striking is municipalities' approach to understanding housing development complexities. Whether they're in over their heads or simply misinterpreting the nuances, municipalities seem to struggle to grasp their role and jurisdiction, the realities of development, and the direct impact it has on the housing market.

Join us for this episode, airing just in time for Calgary's big town hall on April 22, 2024, where the topic of blanket rezoning will be in the spotlight. We're here to equip you with the knowledge and insights you need to navigate these crucial conversations and fulfill your civic responsibility. Don't miss out - tune in for an insightful discussion with Shane Wenzel!

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.
