What happens when you're 21 years old and suddenly responsible for leading people twice your age? In this episode, I sit down with Max to explore his journey from the Canadian Armed Forces to senior healthcare leadership. We talk about leading under pressure, navigating imposter syndrome, and the transition from structured military systems to the complexity of civilian healthcare. We unpack what healthcare can learn from military leadership — especially around communication, closing the loop, and building trust — and why emotional intelligence and coaching are essential, not optional, for today's leaders. If you've ever questioned whether you belong in the seat you're in, this conversation will resonate.

In this episode of Unwritten Chapters, Matthew Heneghan — former Canadian Armed Forces medic, civilian paramedic, recovering alcoholic, and author — delivers a raw, unfiltered response to Donald Trump's recent NATO comments and his claim that allied troops “stayed a little back from the front lines” in Afghanistan. As a veteran who served during wartime and lost friends in the conflict, Matthew breaks down why Trump's remarks are not just wrong — they're historically inaccurate, deeply disrespectful, and damaging to NATO alliances, Canadian veterans, and the truth about the war in Afghanistan.This is not a partisan rant. It's a frontline perspective from someone who lived it.Topics covered in this episode:Donald Trump NATO comments reactionCanada Afghanistan war factsCanadian Armed Forces in AfghanistanNATO allies and frontline combatVeterans mental health and trauma War history and political rhetoric PTSD, grief, and moral injury Life after military service Veteran perspective on politics Unwritten Chapters podcast Matthew also shares deeply personal stories about Canadian soldiers who died on the front lines, the cost of war that never shows up in speeches, and why political leaders rewriting history matters — especially to veterans, first responders, and anyone who still gives a damn about truth.If you're a veteran, first responder, military family member, or someone who's tired of sanitized political narratives and empty rhetoric, this episode is for you.Unwritten Chapters is a solo storytelling podcast where a former army medic and paramedic turned author talks honestly about:Mental healthAddiction and recoveryPTSD and traumaReal world events and politicsWriting, publishing, and setbacksLife after rock bottomNo filters.

Martialling Peace: How the Peacekeeper Myth Legitimises Warfare (Edinburgh University Press, 2023) by Dr. Nicole Wegner is not a book about peacekeeping practices. This is a book about storytelling, fantasies and the ways that people connect emotionally to myths about peacekeeping. The celebration of peacekeeping as a legitimate and desirable use of military force is expressed through the unproblematised acceptance of militarism. Introducing a novel framework – martial peace – the book offers an in-depth examination of the Canadian Armed Forces missions to Afghanistan and the use of police violence against Indigenous protests in Canada as case examples where military violence has been justified in the name of peace. It critically investigates the peacekeeper myth and challenges the academic, government and popular beliefs that martial violence is required to sustain peace. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Guest: Bruce Arthur, Toronto Star columnist In a high-stakes war games exercise held in Toronto, top military officials, health-care leaders, and government representatives gathered behind closed doors to game out a scenario few Canadians can ever imagine; war arriving on our doorstep. The exercise, called Canada Paratus, was a joint initiative led by the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto, in collaboration with the Canadian Armed Forces, the Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research, St. Michael's Hospital, and other military-focused organizations. This wasn't about battlefield tactics, but about what happens when Canada's fragile health-care system is pushed to the brink. From mass casualties to logistical chaos, the simulation revealed uncomfortable truths about just how unprepared we are and what it could mean if Canada were drawn into a global conflict where hospitals, not just troops, have to hold the line.

This solo narration blends raw honesty, personal reflection, and respectful commentary on Canadian military tradition, Indigenous representation, and national remembrance culture.Whether you're a Canadian veteran, military family member, history-minded listener, or someone wrestling with modern identity politics and tradition, this episode of Unwritten Chapters invites you to pause, think, and remember what the poppy truly represents.PRE-ORDER the new book: https://www.indigo.ca/en-ca/trauma-and-tea-essays-on-trauma-recovery-and-growing-up-the-hard-way/9781777649210.html

In this week's episode of the Measure Success Podcast, I sit down with Richard Dunbar, CEO of Bottom Up Consulting and author of Bottom Up Breakthrough, to discuss how true innovation often starts from the ground up. Richard shares how empowering employees at every level builds trust, strengthens transparency, and improves retention. He explains why many leaders fear “bottom-up” leadership—and how shifting from a top-down model can uncover hidden ideas that transform organizations. From his experience in the Canadian Armed Forces to founding Bottom Up Consulting, Richard's work proves that collaboration and agency aren't just buzzwords—they're measurable drivers of success. If you lead a team or manage operations, this conversation will reshape how you think about communication and engagement across your organization.

A veteran was fined $28,000 for stepping into the woods during Nova Scotia's strict wildfire ban. Will states like Oregon or California implement similar restrictions as they face increasing wildfires – and how much pressure are they willing to use to get citizens to comply? Jeff Evely, a retired Master Warrant Officer with 20 years of service, recorded himself breaking the “Stay Out of the Woods” order in Coxheath, Nova Scotia, in protest of the restrictive ban on all hiking and camping until October 15. The video went viral as another example of Canadian government overreach. David Freiheit, known as Viva Frei, is a legal commentator and host of Viva Frei on Rumble, Locals, and YouTube.

Last month, RCMP charged four people for their alleged involvement in a plot to forcibly take land north of Quebec city in what Mounties called an incident of "ideologically motivated violent extremism". Three of the men were denied bail last week.The accused, they charged, had planned to create an anti-government militia, but even more startling: two of the four people charged by RCMP are active members of the Canadian Armed Forces.While it's the first time an active member of the Canadian Armed Forces has faced terrorism-related charges, extremism in the military isn't new.Jonathan Montpetit, a senior Investigative Journalist with CBC News, chronicles the Forces' uneven track record on extremism, and how deeply this issue has infiltrated the ranks over the years.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

Mark Carney is nation building. To do that, he needs to rebuild the Canadian Armed Forces. Between decades of neglect and the forces' own goals by way of bad headlines that's no mean feat.Rebuilding the military, from new recruits to new fighter planes, will take more than promising government money. There's a pitch that needs to be made to the Canadian public and partnerships to be forged with the private sector for investment.So how will the Prime Minister convince the Canadian public and private investors to rebuild the embattled Canadian Armed Forces? Are Carney's nation-building plans the new National Dream or just national daydreaming?Professor Wesley Wark, defence and security analyst and former national security and intelligence advisor to Stephen Harper, joins us today.Host: Bruce Thorson (Reporter, Senior Producer)Caleb Thompson (Mixing & Master), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Fact checking by Julian AbrahamTrumpet by: Tristan CapacchioneAdditional music by Audio NetworkFurther ReadingWesley Wark Substack Liberals Spending $2B to Boost Military Pay - CBC Sponsors: oxio: Head over to canadaland.oxio.ca and use code CANADALAND for your first month free!
