Tyler rocked it! Who sings cptn planet?!
...someone that Captain Planet would be VERY disappointed in, what a poor, poor green plan.
If anything, Captain Planet should be conjured to smack him upside the head.
I agree, the 'green plan' seems really weak. Instead of focusing on rediculous things like more green space, how about paper reduction by the MSU (many a forest are destroyed by the paper wasted at a single SRA meeting). How about promotions and incentives to get rid of coffee cups on campus?
Although the signing captain planet response was a nice touch.
There seemed to be very few questions that actually got answered... mostly just weak attempts to make it look like they were answering questions.

yes well, a minute long reply to a question that could have much more in depth and explorative answers does not help the info that we as voters are provided with... not too mention it is not even a debate to begin with
so who are you voting for? me... im voting tyler
lame, have you not read like every other post on this site and how Tyler is a terrible candidate?
Go transparently campaign somewhere else
However, to truthfully answer your question, Emery, and probably Ryan.
Bullshit metre broke!
Plus Ryan's people have been all over this site... get a grip... Ryan is not even a student!
actually yes he is, he has been taking class all year and has continued to throughout the campaign
I liked Vraets question re: Internation students. I hope it clarified for most people the nature of internation student fees. I think the MSU role in assisting international students should be language development programs. These would benefit international students (learn english, more employable work-study idea) as well as any interested (learn languages).
MSU delivering bursaries to selected demographics is a stereotyping activity I don't think it should be getting into.
language training is already provided by CSD free of charge to any international student that wants it. we dont need redundency in our programme offer.
Well there you go anon, problem solved..
I really wish these debates would have an actual "debate" part, you know, where rebuttals are permitted. I want to see a field of shattered buzzwords and ill-thought ideas crushed underfoot.
Im frankly sick of happy, feel-good responses that are identical from candidate to candidate, with no real idea of how to accomplish the many promises put forward.
I think we can hope to get the least screwed over by Tyler Andrews. And Emery Finklestein seems harmless enough as well.
A phony, although well-versed president can do a lot of harm, and that is my opinion about the rest of the candidates (including to Ryan Moran).
Ryan’s stance on issues actually contradict student empowerment. He really put his foot in his mouth with the “empower the students” slogan. How can he support the policy that students should not have DIRECT voting rights about who their VPs are, and still support empowering students? Education, administration and finance are important areas – empower me with a right to a vote on who makes these decisions (not just a right to vote on who gets to vote to make these decisions), include me more directly within the system if you want to empower me.
Ryan’s slogan should be changed to “empowering the SRAs” if it is to be accurate with the rest of what he is saying.
Both Drew and Ryan are in executive positions right now and can, as MSU vice presidents, bring up the concerns to the current "president" that they so passionately expressed at the debates! They’ve had all year to do this, not as presidents, but as VP’s. What stopped them? And yet a year later Drew Mitchell still hasn’t been able to get addressed such a simple issue as bike-racks which he seems so concerned about.
Despite the scare tactics on Drew's webpage, it seems that he remains apathetic to working though some of the most important problems: “{Apathy} is a major problem on campus, but I can honestly say I can not think of other ways of addressing this issue, then what is already being done.”
If Drew does consider it such a major issue then he needs to think about what is preventing students from being involved beyond pointing to things which have already been done and have not addressed the main issue. (A suggestion - maybe get rid of the knife??? It makes me for one a little uneasy…http://www.undrgrads.com/mactv2.php episode 3:MSU VP Finance)
And while I’m on the topic of main issues not being addressed, solutions to non-issues will not fill that void: I and a couple of other students can get together and lobby to get some bike racks in place. Bike racks are a problem that is so small compared to the other issues to even be talked about at the debates. You don’t need to be a president to fight for bike racks!
^^ On that note... lack of bike racks isn't even a problem!
If you think it is, go outside and look at a bike rack. They're mostly empty.
(Granted, it's -12 C, and a lot of people have stopped biking for the winter, but even in the spring, it's not that hard to find a place (And I'm including the rack outside the student centre in that).)
