Your Concordia, Its Time

LettersAndrew Choules-Nisbet, — Published March 29, 2011

Can we just get Your Concordia in office, already? Throughout the campaign period they have proven time and time again that they care what students want and have no interest in the kind of ego-stroking legacy projects we’re sure to see if we allow Fusion—uh, I mean Action, to get elected.

I’ve actually seen a councillor for Action state on Facebook that they want to defend students rights, but only as long as it doesn’t jeopardize their job opportunities after graduation. What kind of union is that? The BoG is run by fat cats and if you don’t have the courage to take them on, get out of the race.

Defending your students is not a conditional promise; it’s the main goal of your job. I can tell you one thing for sure, Lex Gill and her team at Your Concordia will side with students EVERY TIME.

No one is happy with what the CSU did this year, and we just can’t allow them to get another set of yes-men in office. And that’s precisely what Action is. I don’t want just campaign promises, I want the experience and backbone to get it done, and looking at the records, Your Concordia is exponentially more qualified for that than Action.

If you don’t have time to do your research on the candidates, then just look at the fact that Action is giving out pens instead of information.

Concordia politics have been a national joke for far too long, and we finally have a strong, present and overall awesome opposition to the status quo.
