We Unify #5
Do they hear you?
Civilization has always needed to contend with competing ideas. Whether that be from war, religion, science or culture. What does this battle of ideas look like today? In recent years, it has become increasingly challenging to communicate effectively because of fear. Fear of getting canceled. Fear if you present information, and data to someone with opposing beliefs, there will be repercussions and even a hardening of their original stance. This cancel culture phenomenon encourages echo chambers and limits future possibilities.
Ideas and beliefs hold immense power and only through a process of open dialogue, disagreement, creativity and mutual respect can we find a way forward. The problem with cancel culture is it restricts and limits this exploration.
Words and actions from love are the most sustainable way to transform our understanding of different ideas into something higher. Love is an antidote to fear, the primary driver of censorship, so we must find a way to honour others, especially when we disagree.
We believe the Reclaiming Conference will help us find a way forward. Our speakers will be focusing on presenting solutions to address the pervasive issue of censorship and we welcome you to join us on this important exploration.
Check out clips from our interviews with Chris Barber, and Brian Peckford as well as our full interview Ted Kuntz below! Stay tuned as we’ll be releasing exclusive clips and interviews every week leading up to the conference.

Why Liberalism Leads to Communism
David Eby calling unite-the-right the starkest choice in a generation for British Columbia
“The federal Conservatives lead by a significant margin in British Columbia. The Conservative Party has the support of 44% of committed voters, 18 points ahead of the NDP, in second place, and 26 points ahead the Liberal Party, in third place. You can read more on this here.”
“Former B.C. premiers are now calling for a right-of-centre party merger. Former BC Liberal premier Christy Clark told CTV News that it is incredibly important for BC Conservatives and the BC United parties to find a way to topple the BC NDP. See David Eby’s response here.”
Japan’s most senior cancer doctor says COVID-19 shots are essentially murder
“Dr. Masanori Fukushima has called on the World Health Organization to lead an investigation of the harmful outcomes of the COVID shots which he has called an evil abuse of science. He pointed out that turbo cancers, a kind previously unseen by doctors that progress extremely quickly and are typically in stage four by the time they are diagnosed, have started to appear after the jab rollouts. These turbo cancers are emerging along with excess mortality due to cancer in general, which Fukushima says cannot be explained only by lost opportunities for screenings or treatment during the outbreak.”
Brian Peckford proposes a new Magna Carta
The original Magna Carta was issued in 1215 and was the first document to put into writing the principle that the king and his government was not above the law. It sought to prevent the king from exploiting his power, and placed limits of royal authority by establishing law as a power in itself. At our 2022 conference, Mr. Peckford proposed a new Magna Carta which you can read below.
1. An Independent National Public Inquiry is needed to examine whether Government mandates and lockdowns were necessary and constitutional. People in Government and their agencies who are found guilty of breaking the law after due process must be brought to Justice. Such an Inquiry cannot be led by the Government of Canada who are the major subjects of the Inquiry. Instead, a Citizens Group must be formed for that purpose. The Governments and their agencies must open their books and release to the inquiry and the public all necessary relevant information concerning their actions during the pandemic.
2. All registered political parties in Canada must be obligated by law to publish audited financial statements annually. Right now, none of the Federal Parties who are in the House of Commons publish any audited financial statements.
3. No member of the Federal Parliament or members of Provincial Legislatures or Territorial Assemblies can sit in these chambers if they have broken a Canadian law as determined by a court or an Ethics and Conflict of Interest Commissioner.
4. Every private members bill/resolution presented before a parliament in Canada must be debated and voted upon within six months of parliamentary sitting.
5. All Judges of the Supreme Courts of the Provinces and Courts of Appeal, the Federal Courts and the Supreme Court of Canada must, by law, have criteria established as to their qualifications to serve. All Government nominated candidates for those positions must be subject to a hearing by a parliamentary committee who would present to full Parliament their recommendations to approve or reject any nominated judge.
6. All Parliamentary Committees of all Canadian Parliaments must have safeguards whereby the majority on the Committee cannot close down those committees when the business of the Committee has not been completed.
7. All Governments of Canada must have balanced budget legislation enacted with no exceptions except in times of war or insurrection where the country’s existence is at stake.
8. All authorities responsible for primary, elementary and high school education must enact curriculum measures to ensure civics is a mandatory in each grade.
9. The power of the Prime Minister must be reduced. The Prime Minister’s office and the Privy Council today has a workforce of over 1500 persons. This must be reduced to not more than 500. The more than 206 departments and agencies and the 320,000 public servants that work for them, can then get back to doing the work they were hired to do.
10. There must be a three day public First Ministers Conference annually to discuss the pressing national issues of the day. All Governments must publicly issue written statements at the conference highlighting what they think are the national priorities.
11. Canadian courts hearing a constitutional case related to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms must be obligated to consider in their written rulings the two introductory concepts to the Charter. The Supremacy Of God and the Rule of Law. No decision rendered without a written consideration in the decision of these principles will be valid.
12. Canada must remain a sovereign nation. Therefore no treaty or international regulations, of any kind, can be agreed to by Canada that in any way erode our nation’s sovereignty. Membership in any international organization must be conditional upon Canada remaining a completely sovereign nation.
