  • 043: Unity: Defining What Binds Us with David Redman | Dialogue Over Division
    In this episode of Dialogue Over Division, we begin our six-part series on the national interests identified by former Lieutenant Colonel David Redman in his 25-year vision for the country. Each national interest is vital on its own, but they are deeply intertwined—and we start with unity because it underpins how we live, work, and govern together.Colonel Redman emphasizes that while Canada welcomes people from a wide range of backgrounds, lasting unity requires more than coexistence. It requires that citizens share a common set of values, ethics, and beliefs—a foundation shaped by our history, geography, and collective evolution. These shared principles don’t eliminate diversity, but they create the conditions for it to thrive in a cohesive and functioning society.We explore how national identity is formed and sustained, and why it’s critical to clearly define what it means to be Canadian. Without that clarity, Redman warns, we risk eroding the very fabric that holds us together. He also outlines the responsibility of leaders to not only understand what unites the country, but to take deliberate and ongoing action to strengthen that unity.Join us as we unpack what unity really means in a modern, pluralistic Canada—and why reconnecting with our shared identity is a necessary step toward building a stronger future for all.So, what does unity mean to you — and what role do you play in shaping it?Because if we don’t understand what unites us, how can we expect to protect it?To explore these ideas further, read the full paper by Lieutenant Colonel David Redman, Canada 2024: A Confident Resilient Nation or a Fearful Fractured Country, available here: https://fcpp.org/2024/03/21/policy-series-canada-2024-a-confident-resilient-nation-or-a-fearful-fractured-country/Connect with Eva Chipiuk:Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.chipiuk.ca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X/Rumble/YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠@echipiuk⁠⁠⁠

  • 042: Redefining the Nation: A 25-Year Vision with David Redman | Dialogue Over Division
    In this episode of Dialogue Over Division, we sit down with former Lieutenant Colonel David Redman to explore a transformative vision for the nation's future at a critical fork in the road. Drawing from his extensive military and public service experience—and building on the themes of his paper, “Canada 2024: A Confident Resilient Nation or a Fearful Fractured Country,” which poses the essential question: “What do Canadians want Canada to be?”—David outlines a 25-year plan based on six national interests, including: Unity, National Security, Good Governance, Rights and Freedoms, Economic Prosperity and Growth, and Personal and Societal Well-being.He delves into the historical context behind the challenges Canada faces today, highlighting how helicopter and bulldozer parenting have contributed to a society increasingly reliant on government intervention. This growing dependency has enabled a slow encroachment on rights and freedoms, quietly eroding the foundations of democracy. Colonel Redman offers actionable solutions to help reclaim individual responsibility and reassert the values that strengthen the nation.At a time of growing distrust, fractured unity, and widespread disillusionment with leadership, many are asking whether our current structures still serve the people they were meant to protect. Trust in public institutions is eroding, while elected officials increasingly neglect their responsibilities and too often disparage the very citizens they were elected to represent. In this episode, we discuss these pressing issues and the question David raises about the future direction of the nation.Join us for a compelling and timely conversation—one that challenges complacency, encourages civic courage, and reminds us that the strength of a country lies in the hands of its people. Because if we do not define the future of this nation, someone else will, and not everyone has our best interests at heart. What kind of country do you want to leave behind?To explore these ideas further, read the full paper by Lieutenant Colonel David Redman, Canada 2024: A Confident Resilient Nation or a Fearful Fractured Country, available here: https://fcpp.org/2024/03/21/policy-series-canada-2024-a-confident-resilient-nation-or-a-fearful-fractured-country/Connect with Eva Chipiuk:Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.chipiuk.ca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X/Rumble/YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠@echipiuk⁠⁠⁠

  • 041: Medical Consent & Coercion: Facing Uncomfortable Truths with Lucia Zivcakova
    In this episode of Dialogue Over Division we are joined by Lucia Zivcakova, author of Medical Slavery. With a background in psychology and a research focus on how digital technology affects student learning, Lucia brings a unique and critical perspective to the conversation about medical ethics, informed consent, and the shifting boundaries of bodily autonomy.Together, they explore the rise of coercive medical practices, especially in the context of the Covid response, and the troubling disconnect between research ethics and public health policies. Lucia sheds light on the ethical challenges surrounding coercion and pressure in medical decisions, raising important questions about women’s rights, the erosion of individual choice, and the implications of increasing medical surveillance and transhumanism.This episode invites listeners to engage with complex issues that are often overlooked—sometimes because they seem too difficult to unpack or too uncomfortable to face. But these are the conversations we must have if we are to uphold true informed consent in a rapidly changing world.How do we ensure that consent is truly informed? What rights must we reclaim in the face of expanding medical control? And most importantly—how can we empower ourselves and one another to resist passive compliance and foster meaningful, ethical dialogue?Tune in for a challenging and eye-opening conversation that dares to ask the hard questions—and calls on all of us to be part of the solution.To get your copy of Medical Slavery, visit: https://a.co/d/9VJviDfConnect with Eva Chipiuk:Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.chipiuk.ca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X/Rumble/YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠@echipiuk⁠⁠⁠

  • 040: Unfiltered with Greg Wycliffe: Canadian Politics and Open Discourse | Dialogue Over Division
    In this episode of Dialogue over Division, we sit down with Greg Wycliffe (@gddub), a Canadian comedian, commentator, and passionate advocate for individual liberties and cultural preservation in Canada. With his sharp wit and no-nonsense style, we discuss the state of Canadian politics, his strong support for the People’s Party of Canada, and his pointed critiques of the federal Conservative Party’s direction.We explore the challenges of fostering open discourse in a divided society, the role of comedy in cutting through noise, and the need for principled leadership grounded in freedom and accountability. While we don’t always agree, we share a firm belief that dialogue is essential for bridging divides, that principled leadership is critical for meaningful change, and that much work remains to rebuild trust. Greg’s unapologetic approach can spark debate though it can sometimes alienate others, highlighting the complexities of open discourse.Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that underscores why open, honest conversation is the cornerstone of progress in a polarized world—and ask yourself: can humor and dialogue pave the way for a stronger Canada, or will we stay trapped in our echo chambers?Follow Gregg WyCliffe on X @gddubConnect with Eva Chipiuk:Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.chipiuk.ca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X/Rumble/YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠@echipiuk⁠⁠⁠#Conservatism #Canada #Culture

  • 039 Dr. Matthew Rowley on Political Theology & the Foundations of Government | Dialogue Over Division
    What happens when theology, ideology, and governance collide? In this thought-provoking episode of Dialogue over Division, Dr. Matthew Rowley unpacks the deep and often overlooked connections between political theology and the systems that shape our society. From conservatism’s call to preserve tradition to liberalism’s drive for reform and libertarianism’s push for individual liberty, Dr. Rowley breaks down the core principles of modern ideologies—and why understanding them is more critical than ever.We explore how COVID-19 exposed the tension between liberty and authority, and how the historical roles of the church and monarchy continue to shape our politics today. Dr. Rowley doesn’t shy away from tough questions: Has the Westminster system lost its integrity? Has the Governor General's role been diminished? And how can populism be used as a force for good rather than chaos?In an era where political accountability is elusive and public trust is eroding, Dr. Rowley offers a compelling call for honor, responsibility, and engagement in leadership. With insightful reflections on law, governance, and civic duty, this episode offers both critique and hope for our democratic future.From monarchy to misrule, and from populism to principled leadership—this is one episode you do not want to miss.Follow Dr. Matthew Rowley on X @mrowley1987Connect with Eva Chipiuk:Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.chipiuk.ca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X/Rumble/YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠@echipiuk⁠⁠⁠
