Meow everyone, Well, as you might have guessed, yes, the clown show often referred as the Ryerson Student Union elections have finally come to an end . It was a hard fought battle with one side filled with cop killing supporters and racists, the other side filled new motivated and obviously intelligent students , both sides wanting to convince students to vote for them. The old guard feeling confident going in filled with their usual over inflated egos thinking they own this school .
The election was filled with dirty tricks by the old guard from almost the first second. First there was the usual case of unsealed ballot boxes, normal for these elections as unsealed ballot boxes are a great way to facilitate ballot stuffing . Speaking of ballot stuffing, yes, we saw that as well, rather clearly in fact with a video. That video can be seen here in this article .
Here are the final results from the elections:
The result started to come in around 7:00 pm Wednesday evening and right from the start, the writing appeared to be on the wall. However, with only the first polling station ballots being reported, one had to be highly cautious and not get over confident. Then the second polling station, then the third ….. all of these showing a clear new direction where the currant RSU executive were seemingly about to fall back to earth , and off their lofty positions of entitlement they thought was rightfully theirs . Oh this was sweet. Finally the socialist movement of a major university with close connection to some of the most dangerous and violent groups in this city were about to be evicted from office. I waited close to ten years to see this , finally, it came true.
However, even as the RSU was about to take their last breath, I have come to learn that they were demanding a recount of the votes. Now to be fair, yes, they have every right to ask for a recount and if the election was at least close, yes, I can see this making perfect sense. HOWEVER, in this case, not only was the election not close, it was not even close to being close . But, like the spoiled little brats the currant executive are, and always have been , they cant take losing with dignity and honor so yes, they want a recount that would show the same results ….. them losing badly.
However, there was another sub-story here i also heard about. It appears that the currant RSU executive were and continue to be livid at me personally , suggesting that I somehow was the cause of their fall from grace. They went on the say that I took this so far, so as to have engaged in HATE speech when I was silently protesting at their various polling stations. I was at many of the poling stations, standing outside the designated ” no campaigning ” boundries. I was not campaigning in any way , however, in the interest of fairness, Ryerson Security Services requested of me to maintain the same boundries as the actual candidates , to which i was more than willing to comply with.
So, what was I doing, what did I say that was so offensive so as to be considered HATE SPEECH by the currant RSU executive? Well, here is the exact sign I was holding up that so greatly offending them:
Well, if you read my previous article on them, you can clearly see who is actually engaging in questionable speech , and it is certainly not me . So the elections are over for now at least . We shall see how good a job the new executive will be able to do , however, given the huge mess they will inherit , we will need to be patient with them and not place too high an expectation upon them too early in their term.
