Dialogue Over Division with Eva Chipiuk

A lot of cities are focused on green initiatives, spending money on upgrades that the public is unwilling to do on their own houses. Is it the role of the municipality to focus on solar panels, electric buses and become net zero at the expense of fixing pot holes and providing reliable services? In this clip Doug Main, Vice President of Communications for PACE (People's Action for Change in Edmonton), joins us to discuss the crucial role of municipal governance in shaping our communities. We talk about the need for leadership, transparency and public engagement to help refocus on projects that truly serve the public interest. In the full episode, Doug introduces the concept of political parties at the municipal level, a role PACE hopes to fulfill by offering voters more clarity and choice. While the regulatory framework for municipal parties is still evolving, he explains how these parties could be established in a way similar to provincial regulations. Doug also shares PACE’s plans for organizing, calling for "pace setters" in each ward to take leadership roles and build strong local associations.

Welcome to another episode of Dialogue over Division with Kelly Donovan, a former police officer and the author of Police Line: Do Not Cross: Silencing a Canadian Police Whistleblower. Kelly's remarkable story is a testament to standing up against entrenched, broken systems that often prioritize self-preservation over public welfare. Her experiences highlight the secrecy and fear within policing culture, that should be concerning to all citizens. Despite reaching out to various government officials for help, Kelly faced retaliation as a whistleblower, with many in power choosing to turn a blind eye. Yet, in the face of injustice, Kelly didn't back down; she took action. Witnessing systemic issues in how police handled internal matters, she joined the force to get involved and gain insight. When confronted with legal injustices, she equipped herself with knowledge and successfully challenged high-powered lawyers in court. Kelly didn’t just stand her ground—she leveled up. Kelly’s experiences underscore a critical lesson: when we ignore injustice and fail to act, problems become entrenched, and real progress stalls. To keep our democratic system strong and effective, we must confront power head-on and demand accountability. Kelly’s story is a powerful reminder that each of us has the capacity to effect change, and it is our collective responsibility to do so.

In this episode of Dialogue Over Division, we spoke with Marco Van Huigenbos. Marco immigrated from the Netherlands to rural Alberta in 1996, building a life centered around farming, business, and family. At 26, driven by his dedication to his community, Marco ran for municipal council. Marco provides examples of some of the issues he was involved with while in his role, and he also shares the frustrations he faced and complexities he encountered. He describes how public officials on a local level are held to account more readily due to the smaller area they are charged with. He had citizens approaching and asking him questions at the grocery store highlighting the importance of governance and accountability at local levels. As government officials mismanaged C0vid, Marco felt that citizens' voices were being ignored. This frustration led him to participate in the Coutts protest as a form of civil disobedience. His participation resulted in a charge six months later and ultimately his conviction. On July 22, he will be arraigned in connection with this matter. This episode delves into the need for citizen engagement and the challenges faced when striving to make one's voice heard and holding the government to account. Marco's journey invites us to consider the importance of civic engagement in ensuring that every citizen's voice is heard, despite the challenges and frustrations that come with holding the government accountable. If we don't know about the problems, we cannot fix them. Marco's involvement exposes some of these issues. Listen now and share your thoughts on this crucial topic. Do you see Marco as a criminal or a dedicated citizen striving to be heard? This podcast series is your guide to becoming a more informed and engaged citizen.

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.

Recently, Fergus co-authored the book "Financial Sovereignty for Canadians," available on Amazon.

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.

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.

I hope this episode serves as a reminder that shutting out differing voices risks not only failing ourselves but also our communities.

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.

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.

I am pleased to share my conversation with @jasonjamesbnn on this episode of "Dialogue Over Division."
