Campaign Wind up

Posted by: | January 31, 2007 | 22 Comments

Today I saw Jeff Friedrich standing on the North Side of the SUB flyering, all by himself. I’m really curious to see what the voter turnout is going to be. I would not be surprised if it were lower than most years, because of the quiet campaigns which I’ve bitched about many times before.

Needless to say, tomorrow is the last chance to vote in the Elections. It’ll be done by paper ballot – 9AM till 6PM at the SUB and other locations. Please tell anyone you suspect who hasn’t voted yet.

There’ll also be an election results party at the Gallery. Tim and I will be there, and we’ll be drinking our hearts out but more importantly update our blog as soon as the results are announced. Come by and drink with us, or refresh this page around 10pm (Pacific time, Spencer). Pictures will be up the next morning.

Qu’est-ce qui s’est passé? Where did the time go?

There are so many more issues which we could write about, from different angles. I didn’t even get to blog about the Farm, Campus Safety and its intra-politics, senate-specific issues, etc etc. But there’s only so much energy Tim and I can put into this blog without losing our personhood.

Totally unrelated: am I the only one who’s been ambushed by the Reiki lady at the busloop???

    There ain’t no party like an Elections party, cuz an Elections party don’t stop!

    (Hope the Gallery continues to provide free snacks like they did last year…)

    Now’s also probably a bad time to finally reveal that, since there were no scrutineers last year, we made it all up. Hah!

    I don’t think there’s anyone left on campus who HASN’T been ambushed by the crazy Reiki lady… ANYWHERE.

    That reiki lady is agressive, and has focus. The candidates would do well to learn from her.

    “Do you feel the AMS working? No? Let me try harder.”

    “Now do you feel the AMS working?”

    “NOW?”

    I nominate that Reiki lady as President of the AMS! She shall win by Coupe d’tat! You know what, she actually would have a fighting chance to take a seat since people cast votes mostly out of recognition. And I bet you anything she will have more chance than the Radical Beer Faction. The Radical Reiki Faction will help Sprouts, and UBC Farms, and Sustainability UBC. I will discuss with her to win her a seat in the BOG or AMS! Really guys, these guys might be able to stop the building of housing on wreak beach property. Has anyone been dumb not to even offer them positions of government? They can do great and would be happy to form a coalition.

    I think if they even ran around in Nelson BC or even Saltspring Island, they could even run as MP. A student government position or an influence is a must to have them on the team.

    You know what? That Reiki lady is still not even the most famous one running around on campus. There exists a shorter asian male running around.

    That Reiki lady is only the third best I have seen so far. But if they get all them heavies, and give them a job in the student government, they will do much to aid much of UBC issues.

    The Reiki lady would be an awesome campaigner – she has MAD skillz at getting around and talking to people with no invitation at all! She ambushed Ryan and I at a bus stop at MacDonald and Broadway. She has repeatedly approached another friend of ours at Broadway and Commercial. She’s been spotted Reiki-soliciting as far south as 41st Ave and downtown on Robson St. BEWARE THE REIKI ATTUNEMENTS.

    Whether or not people put their hands out to actually take the attunement is still up to them. She certainly does excercises her freedom of expression. I am sure that in certain countries she would be jailed. Only in Canada, and the United States could you do such a thing. And this only came in effect with the charter of rights and freedoms only as far back as 1982.
