Breaking News: the interview with Stephen Beardwood, Canadian Veteran and author, with host Reginald Argue.
We did a pre-recorded interview, which got hacked and the audio was severely distorted, so we had to go live and add a bit of the pre-recorded footage to the video too.
Stephen talked about his book and how more Canadian citizens were given Lariam (mefloquine) than the military received, and it is still being prescribed to citizens by their doctors. Plus so much more.
