It is a period of civil war. Rebel fed bodies, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Vice President Communications. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Vice President's ultimate weapon, the CFS BULK ORDER, an armored machine of controversy and corruption with enough power to destroy an entire student government. Pursued by the Vice President's sinister agents, several federated bodies race home to their rebel offices, custodians of their own secret plans that can save their people and restore freedom to the Federation...
101 Week is upon us. Let's hope its cleansing fires can fix the drama of the summer. Drama so fierce even AppleDave doesn't want to make lulz of it.

sheets 2.0
Wondering who will represent you on your federated body association?
Elected to one and wondering who you'll see at LeaderAction?
Miss the days of I Liek SFUO Elections and need a little nostalgia?
Just plain curious?
WELL! Have an
Notes/disclaimers copypasta'd from last year:
There might be some holes or misinformation on there still - I've confirmed very little, and am just throwing this up now so it's actually out before Leaderaction where everyone will just meet each other anyway. BAM!
Plus, those of you who are not involved (if there even are any who read this blog), you can now see who to hold accountable for things happening on campus, since I am not aware of anywhere else you can find a list like this.
BAM!
Note - if I missed your executive, it isn't because I don't like you guys. I love everyone who has passion enough to get involved on campus in some way. Student leaders are admirable, whatever they's leadin'. It's just that you're a sub-association (member associations of SAFA, clubs of CETSC, groups under the ESS, etc) or you're not heavily affiliated with the SFUO (droit civil), so you didn't make sense to go on this list, or I just couldn't find any infos about you (nutrition, other).

Candidate Videos
Thanks to an anonymous comment on my previous post (good thing I enabled those!), we now know that candidate videos are being posted at least to YouTube. Perhaps to the Elections Website soon? We'll see.

uPass - final thoughts
I'm voting in favour, but do not expect a majority of students to. Here's why:
However, the "Yes" campaign should not have included "save money" as a platform point. They're just going to agitate the already skeptical Sandy Hill annd Residence students and lose a large portion of the vote. For that, and the lack of an opt-out, it's going to get shot down, unfortunately.
My ONLY complaint will arise if the "no opt-out" policy includes students on out-of-town work terms or student exchange. While it's assumed that that will be the case, we'll see what happens if and when it's implemented.
By the by, I hate the argument that this is contradictory for our campaign to lower tuition fees. It's not. We're working to make education more accessible, not cut funding to student services on campus. If we can one day talk the governments into paying for our tuition AND funding the SFUO and the uPass, that'd be thrilling, but let's do one thing at a time people.
- Students who are "forced" to buy the pass "might as well use it," and will experience the nice parts of the city they would not have otherwise.
- For that reason, I don't feel they're subsidizing the transportation of other students, but are having a door to the city opened. Ottawa is more than just Bank St to Range Rd to the Market to Lees Ave, folks.
- It'll make intercampus events more accessible to the general population of students, so we can encourage students to go to events at Carleton/Algonquin/La Cité and they actually will
- It's carbon neutral - changing the primary mode of transportation of as many drivers as cyclists
- The fee increase is negligable - it's only the price of textbooks.
- It's a *universal* pass, so you can even bus to Navan or Richmond if you want some hot sauce or... whatever Richmond has to offer
- Ridership on the bus will increase, which means the routes will be improved instead of stripped away like is likely happening for the summer
- and selfishly, I will save money as I am a student who buses to school.

Deeeeeeebatez
I'm excited for tomorrow. Here's something I'd love to see though: BOA debates. Where are they?
Things I'd ask Bay:
- Why no posters? Are you not trying, jackass? I haven't seen a class presentation yet, but that might be my course schedule. I'll give him a few more days for that.
- How are you gonna do all that in one year and one board seat? It sounds more like an exec platform than a BOA one.
Things I'd ask Javed:
- Do you understand what the BOA *is*? It seems like you're running for VP Academic of the ESS with a platform like that. Good ideas, wrong place to put them in action.
- ...what else have you done on campus? I've neither heard of you nor been able to find a list of past involvements on your website or posters.
I'd also just love to see them fight to the death. Then I'd go watch the debates for BOA: SS get even more ragey. Alas, the Elections Office offers me none of that.
