Show Notes

In today's episode, we will get a first-hand account from a military frontline worker about how the force's responded to the pandemic and to the care and well-being of Canadians, and what can be done so that we don't need to call in the military — for either a rescue or reconnaissance. Corporal Laila Ahmed is a CAF Medical Assistant who worked in Ontario long-term care homes and was part of what was called Operation LASER and she left her full time job at that time, as a registered practical nurse on the civilian COVID-19 frontline — to be a part of this operation.
