There's a fine line in MSU presidential platforms between wishful thinking and lofty goals that are attainable. When everyone on Vishal's team sat down to write up the platform, we looked at solutions that can be enacted within a timeframe of a year.

Unfortunately, you believe that it's all the same, however, many candidates neglected to acknowledge the incoming Comptroller and Food/Beverage Manager positions that will aid the President in maintaining accountability while fixing the MSU. Vishal's presence as an "insider" may have been an advantage in terms of knowing the existence/hiring of these employees, however, a full internal review of all MSU services/procedures can now be completed.

It's lamentable that you presume Vishal will merely forget students during his term in office. However, if it happens, I implore the future SRA to keep his communication platform points at the top of his agenda. Nevertheless, he's demonstrated throughout the campaign that he's going to utilize Tiwtter/Facebook to keep students informed about where he is. There are also concrete plans now for a website containing all his platform ideas, a checklist, and an area where Vishal can write how he fulfilled these goals.

I'm sorry that Vishal has generated such vitriol from you, however, he has not even started his term of office. It's brazen speculation that you would think he'll merely omit all undergraduates at McMaster when he finally takes office.

And does popularity necessitate a horrible platform? I don't believe so. It's a truly attainable list of goals that was amended when students voiced that certain parts of it were ineffectual or folly.

Nonetheless, I'm glad you're invested in student politics. If you're sick of the system, join the SRA or at least come to our meetings and voice your opinion.

Casey, we will see. However, I expect only the name of the MSU insider candidate will need to change in that part of the write-up.

That said, I look forward to cheaper parking, cheaper textbooks, more HSR service and all the other promises that you say can be fulfilled.

I think that Joey Coleman's article was a good article. It was an opinion piece and he gave his two cents in. The article was written to give students another perspective. It may not have been to the liking of some, but nothing we can do about it. I didn't agree with some points that Mr. Coleman raised but, at the same time he did make some valid points about other candidates.

"he's demonstrated throughout the campaign that he's going to utilize Tiwtter/Facebook to keep students informed about where he is."

cool bro

is this sarcasm?

I'd be glad to read it again, though. However, the Sil site doesn't have a direct link to it.

I'll try to finish my website redesign over the weekend and post it on my personal server. It's too focused on McMaster to post on the Maclean's site. Plus, the MSU is already held in low regard nationally, no need for me to add to that problem.

Good to hear you are thinking for yourself. I would be concerned if people didn't disagree with at least some of my points.

Interestingly enough, the platform merely stated that cheaper ______/more ______ will be advocacy points during the 2009/2010 year.

We were focusing on Vishal's experience as VP-Education.

However, I too remain skeptical if those impositions will actually happen in the near future, it's worth opening a dialogue for.

Interesting, that's not what you guys were implying during the campaign.

Now that the election is over, I guess things are quickly back to normal.
