12:00 – When Kevin Weedmark was in Afghanistan he put his life in the hands of his interpreter Qasem Sediqi. After the fall of Afghanistan last summer, Weedmark worked tirelessly to help Sediqi and his family escape the country, as the Taliban wreaked vengeance upon all those who had helped Canada and our allies, including interpreters and their loved ones. After a huge effort, Sediqi and his family have now arrived in Canada to start their new life under the Special Measures for Afghan Interpreters. Sediqi and Weedmark join Gormley to tell us about the happy ending to a story we’ve been following for months.
