About this episode

Brian Isted discusses the breakdown of Canada's military and related issues with host Liam DeBoer.

Brian spent 11 years inside the Canadian Armed Forces as a junior officer. He deployed to Iraq and worked for the Canadian Forces Intelligence Command. - Get original articles, extended podcasts, and direct access to Blendr News on our Substack Channel: blendrnews.com - This episode is brought to you by The Tallowed Truth.
