Hawt campaigning

O hullo thar! I'm Apple Dave, an Engineering student. No, I don't hate womanz. I'm here to share my favourite campaignery so far. This list below is a small set of people who have won or lost my vote through outrageous or fantastic campaigning or ideas. For now, you get four. If I'm swayed by anything else in the next week, you'll see that right here at sfuolulz

Marc Kelly - Here's a novel idea. Submit a proposal unrelated to your field to a prof who will reject it and ask for something else. Finish the project anyway and submit it, past the selection deadline. Whine and cry until you're deregistered from the program, barred from campus, and arrested. Email the entire school about it over and over and over. Then! Oh, this is where it gets good. Now that everyone knows who you are, you can run for SFUO President on a freedom-of-ideas platform. This guy is probably running the best campaign of them all, but unfortunately, I think he's terribly unfit for the job. While the other fancy-pants campaigning I've seen has won some of my votes, Marc just can't do it. Sorry, champ.

Jean Guillaume - A VP Social candidate. jeanguillaume.ca is beautiful! Nothing says "I'm a heck of an event-thrower" like "Welcome To DiscountASP.NET! If you can see this default page, then your site is setup!" Obviously he's too busy partying really hard and planning the greatest 101 Week in the history of man, and having a hot time doing some cool slam poetry at all the hip local spots, and just hasn't had the time to set up his website. THAT's a VP Social. I'm sold. Vote Guillaume.

Brandon Bay - The only BOA candidate for my faculty. I'm not even sure he's campaigning at all - there's no platform, website, blawg, or plethora of posters to be found anywhere. At least as far as I can tell. I can't decide if he's lazy or over-confident about running unopposed. It isn't even like he's got a big name to run on (Seamus Wolfe could pull off a win without campaigining, I think). A friend of mine said he thinks Brandon has been involved in student politics before, somehow. So I might have heard of this guy second-hand. Whatever it is that's keeping him from campainging though, I love it. His laissez-faire attidute toward the elections makes me think he'll bring a refreshing don't-take-student-politics-so-seriously view to the BOA. Or he'll be a useless tit, but I don't have any other choices, so I'ma give him a shot.

Maureen Hasinoff - I would love a full kitchen at 1848 and the Agora on campus. The kitchen should've happened a long time ago, perhaps even at its grand opening. The Agora is probably about the bookstore having an exclusivity deal with the University. For the same reason, there was no Pepsi on campus when I started my degree. Now there is - these deals are usually not indefinite. On top of that, the Pivik exists alongside Chartwells just fine - why can't we have two on-campus bookstores? Her other ideas are solid, and Roxanne has been completely unremarkable, so I don't see any reason not to vote Maureen. I'm actually serious this time - vote Maureen. Once again, vote Maureen.

Keep your eyes here, I'll have some breaking news to reveal to you about Mr. Wolfe later today.

Otherwise, but not for any stand-out reasons, I am voting for Jeremy Stuart, yes to Lamarche, no to Seguin (burn, lawl), and no to every referendum except the food bank fee increase (I love that service. The food is super tasty).

- Apple Dave

Oh, PS, Fedesauraus is right - if we're attacked by zombies or velociraptors, Steeves is our guy.
