Show Notes
Alex was a guest on the show a few weeks ago. He worked as an interpreter for Canadian troops in Afghanistan and although he’s received letters of commendation from Canadian military officers, he’s also received letters containing death threats from the Taliban. He and his family are desperate to come to Canada to live in safety.
James is a friend of Alex and was also an interpreter for Canadian troops during the Afghan campaign. However, James is happily living in Alberta.
Guests: Alex, a former interpreter for Canadian forces, still in Afghanistan
