The former executive director of Alberta’s Emergency Management Agency said governments across Canada “threw away” lessons learned during previous pandemics when responding to COVID-19, causing “massive collateral damage” while failing to stop the transmission of the virus.
“There’s no point in running the lessons learned after this pandemic, because the only lessons we will learn if we let our governments do it now are exactly the wrong lessons,” said David Redman, a 27-year veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces.
