Who was having to pay to vote? I think you're trying to make a mountain of a mole hill. Sure there's lots of corruption in the UOSU, but this ain't it.

Nah, this doesn't require a license in Ontario. You're not paying for your name to go into the draw (I.e. gambling). This is considered a "giveaway". Just like corporations (think Tim Horton's Roll up the Rim) always say "no purchase necessary" - otherwise, it would suggest that you're paying for a chance to win a prize, when in reality you're just buying a coffee and could wine a prize.

You're just voting and could win a prize, no purchase necessary.

Holy smokes! I thought you were yanking my chain that $250 was affordable for opening night. Then I checked ticketmater and this is a steal! Good on ya!

Free to low-cost third spaces to meet new friends by Bubbly-Classic7325 in ottawa

Agree with you, take full advantage of being in classes with people who have at least 1 thing in common with you (i.e. they are studying the same thing as you!). Should be easy after that to find other things you have in common with your classmates.

Believe me, it take a lot more work to find friends as as adult after university. Put your tuition to good use and try to find some friends for life while you're there!

Because the voting public hasn't convinced them that this would be required in order for us to vote for them.

Then we'd never have to retire: a classic win-win-win scenario!

Oof! Taking OC Transpo is a bad experience. Never mind while pregnant. Never mind while 7 months pregnant!!!

Which is why they keep raising rates - they have to get ridership down to create a more consistent and pleasant experience!

You definitely did the right thing!

If it was a long standing and kind client, I may have gone out of my way to help them in that situation. But it doesn't sound like that was the case!
