"I have come to the conclusion that politics are too serious a matter to be left to the politicians" - Charles De Gaulle

HSF proxy, politics or policy?

It's important to have watchdogs in place to keep members or potential members of public

office in check, but is it as important to question who benefits more when a candidate is eject- ed from office - the student or the replacement? Cameron McKcnzie, a Humber Students' Federation (HSF) presidential candidate, was dis- qualified from running last semester because he violated the election process three times violat- ing an HSF policy. One strike was due to club endorsements on his campaign posters. Another strike came with the accusation that he had someone unapproved by FISF help with his cam- paign. The strangest violation was when team member Kerri ludge was spotted with a button endorsing the tuition freeze at an Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) strike

rally. The peculiarity of this offence is that HSF at the time was siding with the College Student Alliance for a cap on tuition, not a continuation of the freeze. Judge, a member of the HSF board of directors, was in a conflict of interest. She was ousted along with McKenzie. Another candidate Ryan Russell was disqualified after he acquired three strikes. The political house cleaning didn't stop with these three. Anyone who kept track of the HSF election last semester would know that current president Cynthia Malagerio and North Campus VP Jenny Gibson obtained office due to default. Elected president Ravjot Chhatwal and North Campus VP Puneet Matharoo were ousted after three strikes due to events that arose when they accessed a list-serve. A student organization with a $4,524,030 budget may not desire to broadcast the political

upheavals it has experienced because it could cause students to ask questions about how their government is being run.

The lack of exposure of the recent events from this democratic student government is not excusable.

One would think it is the responsibility of HSF to ensure it is current on events that affect the better interests of the student body and its betterment. But the student body can't assume that

it is always represented by its government, nor can it assume that it will always be informed of what goes on behind closed doors. The incorporated HSF, consisting of elected and hired employees, collects $244.38 from each

full-time student from tuition fees. As with any form of government, it is up to the student body to become involved in the process and decision making to ensure they are getting their $244

worth. The next chance to actively do this is at the HSF bi-annual general meeting on Oct. 1

at 1 1 a.m. in the student centre at Humber North. Student turnout ^11 enable louder voice HuMB^^'s R^\ionjif4G Sru^b^T 6b\imu^X In Canada, voting was once a privilege reserved for only a select group of men. Now, voting is a fundamental right for Canadian citizens over the age of 18. The importance of having a voice in the electoral process extends far beyond the walls of Humber.

Oct. 19 is the official day that election candidates can erect billboards and signs to litter front lawns and fences to mark the start of municipal elections campaigns. Election Day, Nov. 13, will determine the future mayors, city councillors and school board trustees across Ontario. In Toronto, 37 people hope to unseat current Mayor David Miller, while 275 registered for 44

councillor positions and 1 35 are registered for 39 trustee jobs in the four city school boards. Winners and losers will be decided and while many candidates are unknown names and faces, the winners will influence the vision of Toronto's communities and neighbourhoods for the next Word
