Referenda:\u00a0<\/strong>Yes to all.<\/p>\n Here are a few last endorsements:<\/strong> <\/p>\n Best Campaign Award<\/strong>\u00a0goes to… Caroline Wong. Laminated tags with her beautiful campaign designs on them, promotional material all over Rez… this girl is going big! Sure, being in the penalty box and being not able to campaign for the last two days is tough. But I predict a victory for her because of her well-thought-out campaign!<\/p>\n Most responsive:<\/strong> Kiran Mahal. Such a responsible candidate. She had been very thoughtful in the questions she sent me for other candidates. Unfortunately, almost nobody else had the time to send their questions to me.<\/p>\n Freshest ideas:<\/strong> Anne Kessler While Kiran Mahal does done amazing work in maintaining an\u00a0unequivocal lobbying effort to lower the\u00a0Bachelor of International Economics (BIE) tuition and to keep international tuition increases capped at 2%, among many things<\/a>, her platform this year is, as she has said, a continuation of what she had set out to do last year. Noteworthy are her commitments to tuition consultations, student housing affordability and\u00a0Acadia Park community needs assessment, all of which Anne Kessler addresses in her platform.<\/p>\n I like Anne Kessler’s fresh ideas, which are more critical of the University’s incomplete servicing of community needs.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Biggest Need:<\/strong> For VP External-to-be Tanner Bokor<\/strong> to push the execs and convince AMS Council to lobby for post-secondary education funding. Unfortunately, the campaign that AMS is involved in, Get On Board<\/em>, is not about pushing for a Skytrain along the Broadway corridor. And you know, I understand this. We want to get lots of big important partners involved, so AMS should become a team player pushing for a better transit system for Metro Van as a whole. It’s a really great campaign and I am very proud of the AMS for its involvement in the campaign. I do feel though, first and foremost, we need to focus on the Where’s The Funding campaign, as AMS has lost a lot of valuable time leading up to the provincial election to bring together a strong, united voice on the need for post-secondary education funding. In fact, the WTF website<\/a> has been down for at least four days now.<\/p>\n Did they pay their bills?
\nSENATE –\u00a0Armin Rezaiean-Asel, Kiran Mahal, Anne Kessler
\nVP ACADEMIC – Anne Kessler or Kiran Mahal<\/p>\n
\nfrom voteanne.com<\/a>: While there has been a framework drawn up by the AMS and UBC to create emergency housing in the Gage Hostel for people who have been referred there by the Sexual Assault Support Centre or UBC Health Services, we have not seen it implemented yet. If elected I will work to ensure that emergency housing is created for students and others in the community who are in a vulnerable position and need temporary housing.<\/em>
\nThe [AMS] survey lacked questions on\u00a0disability<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0discrimination<\/strong>, and these are two areas of inquiry that I would include in this year\u2019s survey if elected.<\/em><\/p>\n
