WND,
1) Victory!!!! I'm so proud of each and everyone of you for helping out this election!!! Whether you gave an hour or two, tried to convince friends to vote
NDP, or even just voted yourself --- It all added up to a great victory for the
NDP. We WON 9 NEW SEATS across the country for a total of 37. We even won a seat in Alberta right under Stephen
Harper's nose (I feel very happy about that). So job well done
WNDers!!!!!!!
2) We have another quick election to take care of for
UWO Board of Governors. Don't worry though this one will take you 30 seconds max to complete online.
The club met with Chris
Sinal, one of the BOG
canidates, at our last meeting and decided to endorse his campaign. Chris will be a strong progressive voice on the board of governors and has an impressive track record including serving a term as USC President.
The other
canidate, Nick
Pozhke, is a Conservative Party executive and from personal experience I can say he is quite partisan and will not be open to helping pass progressive policy.
I urge you to vote for Chris
SINAL at
www.voteusc.ca The poll is open now and closes at 8
pm on Oct 16th (tomorrow).
3) The next
WND meeting will happen on Monday Oct. 20th at 6
pm outside Tim
Hortons. We will
work on planning a social event and an activism event (please bring ideas).
Solidarity,
Robin Wing,
President Western New Democrats
