In this episode of Dialogue Over Division, we continue our series on the national interests identified by former Lieutenant Colonel David Redman in his 25-year vision for the country. The fifth national interest, Economic Prosperity and Growth, is the engine that sustains our national security, unity, and overall wellbeing. Each national interest is important on its own, but they are deeply interconnected. Without a strong and resilient economy, Canada’s ability to achieve progress in other areas is greatly diminished.
Together we explore how a vibrant private sector fuels innovation, opportunity, and long-term stability. We discuss the importance of reducing over-reliance on government, creating conditions for entrepreneurship, and ensuring that economic growth serves the broader public good. Economic strength is not just about financial wealth, it is about enabling citizens to thrive, communities to flourish, and the country to withstand future challenges.
Our conversation examines how short-term thinking and reactive policies have limited Canada’s potential, and why a bold 25-year vision is necessary to chart a path toward sustainable prosperity. Colonel Redman offers practical strategies for fostering growth rooted in productivity, investment, and fairness, while emphasizing the role of citizens in demanding sound economic leadership.
We highlight the essential connection between economic vitality and the broader national interests, from security to governance to community wellbeing. A resilient economy underpins every other dimension of a strong and confident nation.
Join us as we unpack why economic prosperity and growth are vital to Canada’s future, and how each of us has a responsibility in shaping an economy that empowers generations to come.
How can we expect to secure our future, protect our freedoms, and strengthen our communities if we do not first commit ourselves to building an economy that provides opportunity and resilience for all Canadians?
