Afghans facing retribution for helping Canadians are struggling to get to Canada

Guest: Wendy Long, founder of Afghan-Canadian Interpreters When Canadian forces were deployed in Afghanistan, they relied on local Afghans to help them navigate a dangerous conflict zone, the unfamiliarity of geography, language and culture. But since last year, after the U.S.-led NATO withdrawal and Taliban occupation of Afghanistan, those who risked their lives to help the coalition forces — including Canadians — are at risk of facing violent retribution. So far, less than a 10th of the 40,000 Afghans the government pledged to bring in to Canada have arrived. Wendy Long is the founder of Afghan-Canadian Interpreters, an organization that helps Afghans escape and settle in Canada. She joins "This Matters" to explain further.
