University of Alberta

Yeah.

And for those of you that are under a rock, um, Margie Davenport, she's got a lab up at university of Alberta, um, and has been on the podcast.

I'm trying to think at least for, I'm trying to think she's coming on one more time.

Again, I'm not sure if it's right before you or after you, either way, she's been on the most and I, I, I need to confirm with her, but I think we might've been the first podcast that she ever did.

And so that's why when Avnish said, "You wanna do something on this," I figured this was, this was worth getting off the bench for.

There's a lot of other people running around, uh, uh, making the case for, for Canada, which, which I can do too, but I thought it was really important to call out the cynical politics and the divisiveness and the xenophobia behind these five immigration questions.

She's been on now, gosh, I think she's been on four, almost five times.
