    I am so impressed with KT and Kai, president and VP of their newly founded students association. The action they are taking to stand up for human rights and call out the government of Alberta gives me hope. The young people of today are incredible. Please have them back on the show soon. They are so interesting and intelligent as human beings and as leaders. Thank you!
