Gooooooood Morning uOttawa

And thus begins the last push on the campaigns, and on this fine Monday I am being treated to my first candidate presentation of this year's elections. I realize that the candidates were given a list of classes, but it does seem odd that even if this class isn't listed, a proactive candidate would be in UCU AUD for all classes, as they are guaranteed large, though maybe not necessarily 200+.

Maureen showed up for a quick presentation, and the reception was overall unenthused. Was it the fact that it was an 8:30 class on a Monday morning? Are first-year students fully disinterested in the elections? Are they over-presented to?

Probably.

This is voter apathy before the numbers come in. I hope that the enticement of online voting will help, but if this sample is any indication of the greater demographic of the school, maybe even catering to the laziest of sit-in-front-of-the-computer-for-hours-on-end students is not the solution.
