“In the absence of verifiable truth, competing narratives will vie for allegiance. When we are forced to compete in a battle of narratives, inclusion is still our best weapon: only by leveraging a diversity of voices can we create a winning narrative.”
Martin E. Dempsey, Radical Inclusion: What the Post-9/11 World Should Have Taught Us About Leadership

“We are not engaged in a war against “one of the most dangerous enemies our world has ever faced,” as Stephen Harper recently claimed in reference to ISIL, the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant.

“Learning what laws can do, for good or ill, to transform society was a revelation.”
Tom Mulcair, Strength of Conviction
