The Canadian Forces has previously acknowledged a special forces sniper conducted the shot from more than 3,500 metres away, but it has declined to release any further information. The shot is considered a world record for a sniper. JTF2 continually refuses to acknowledge many aspects of its operations and equipment, claiming the release of such information could help enemy forces.
Ryan’s lawyer responded with a letter to CANSOFCOM pointing out that, since Ryan is a U.S. citizen, the Canadian government has no authority over his actions. The letter also noted that a second podcast with Alexander was edited to remove discussions of military operations. During the podcast, the two men talked about how COVID-19 death numbers were supposedly overblown and how the government was using the pandemic to try to scare the population.
Alexander said he asked for and received a medical discharge from the Canadian Forces. The podcast, however, claimed he was “fired” from the military.
