Ep.241 Dallas Alexander: World Record Sniper Shot and Country Music Artist

He holds the world record for the longest confirmed sniper shot (2.2 miles) with Canada's elite JTF2 unit — then got pushed out in 21 days for refusing the COVID vaccine mandate. Dallas Alexander opens up about growing up on a Metis settlement with no running water, the psychedelic journey that helped him grieve his brother, why he believes Canada 'wouldn't last one day' in a war with the U.S., homeschooling his 5 kids, and how he traded his sniper scope for a guitar to become a country music artist.
