Canada's Independent Voices!
Since 1987 - Currently in our 34th year

The readers and writers of Dialogue
believe it is...
‘better to light a candle
than to stand and curse the dark…’

Dialogue's Purpose:
Dialogue is a venue for communication & empowerment
- through a not-for-profit, volunteer-based format -
enabling individuals to share their insights and
inspirations through words, art & humour.

For 33+ years, dialogue has been helping Canadians to “tell it the way they see it”! You will read news, views & history from many varied perspectives ~ or share your own!

dialogue keeps Canadians informed and allows us to communicate with each other, about the things that matter to us and to our communities.

The readers and writers of dialogue form a vital national network of people who value their freedom of speech and who are interested in issues affecting the future of our community, province, country and our magnificent planet.

dialogue is an alternative media, offering Canadians the opportunity to express their views and exchange ideas without regard for ‘political correctness’ or corporate censorship.

Special Projects...

Dialogue's "Alphabet Challenge" - with a letter of the alphabet inspiring a cover theme for each issue, started in 2013 and completed with the Winter 2019-20 issue in December 2019.

"Project Perpetuate" - initiated at the end of our 30th year, in 2017, to explore the sustainability and long-term continuation of the magazine beyond its current volunteer editor and publisher.

Dialogue Legacy Fund in memory of Maurice - a fund-raising initiative, started in 2020, to raise annual donations of $2000 to replace the amount that Maurice was donating to Dialogue every year. A heartfelt thank you to all readers who have donated to the Legacy Fund. The goal has been met for 2020 - and the dedication and commitment of Dialogue readers and writers will ensure that the magazine will continue for years to come.

Bertrand Russell once said:

“Be isolated, be ignored, be attacked,
         be in doubt, be frightened…             
… but do not be silenced.”

dialogue and its readers and writers accept this challenge! Do You?

Dialogue's Purpose:
Communication & Empowerment!

The communication and empowerment mission of Dialogue magazine is to provide venues whereby Canadians can express their views on the topics that are important to them and also have the opportunity to read the views that others share, so that our understanding of complex issues may deepen and our imagining of possibilities may expand.

Today, as never before, communication in Canada – and elsewhere – is being dominated by political, corporate and special interest agendas. And the ownership of media is becoming increasingly concentrated in a few hands. The result is that the Canadian public is often exposed to only one-sided (and often self-serving) views of the issues facing our country, or worse – NOT exposed at all to politically-sensitive or 'politically-incorrect' topics.

If you think the media has a responsibility to challenge the political process, then you will want to read dialogue: where you will find writers who are not afraid to challenge politically-correct views and the agendas of the political elites. Dialogue is an independent, not-for-profit publication (not controlled by a media corporation, nor beholden to advertisers!)

If you believe you have a right to know what is really going on and how it affects all of us, then you won't want to miss a single issue!  You will want to read the letters, articles and exposés written by well-informed Canadians across the country & from around the world.

If you value the English language and want to encourage Canadian writers of essays, stories, poetry and articles, then you will want to subscribe today (see below) – and treat yourself to the varied menu of letters, essays, poetry and other creative writing in dialogue.

If you like to express your ideas in writing or images, you will want to join the dialogue between Canadians – and let your views be shared with readers across the country (and around the world, through our digital editions).

If you support freedom of expression, then you will want to support dialogue. Even if you do not have a lot of time to read, you will see the need for Dialogue to thrive – so that everyone has the opportunity to be one of…  “Canada’s Independent Voices!”
