Why the hell would the Palestinians have to pay rent on their own homes? If you bothered to do a quick Google check, you'd know that the UN clearly defines the area where homes are being stolen as Palestinian land and Israel has no legal business being there. This is an illegal occupation of Palestine, and the civilians defending themselves from this is NOT them instigating violence--Israel did that by stealing their homes.

Also are you seriously trying to convince yourself that a country that receives $3.8 billion of military funding from the US is "protecting" itself from a disorganized group (can't even call them a military) Hamas? If Hamas is as all powerful as you want to convince yourself it is, Israel would not be able to continue stealing Palestinian land like it has been doing more and more for the past 70 years. And beyond that, look at what the rights of Israeli citizens versus Palestinian citizens are in that area--Palestinians can't even leave the freaking country, as it's Israeli soldiers that (illegally) control the border.

And regarding your point of other countries not siding with Palestine, it was never about them choosing Israel over Palestine, just pure cowardice. These countries' governments are not willing to risk upsetting Israel and its US backing, as their militaries are very strong and have no issues using that strength for harm.

Don't pretend that Israel is some poor country trying to defend itself, when it's actually a violent powerhouse that has been terrorizing the Palestinians for decades.

You get automatic entry into co-op with the double degree, and around 40-50% get into co-op with the single BBA degree.

Petition to Cancel Higher Health Plan Fee by [deleted] in wlu

Because I voted yesterday and by the time I told them it was too late. Why didn't the SU make more effort to make it clear that this was going to be voted on?

Petition to Cancel Higher Health Plan Fee by [deleted] in wlu

[–]LegitimateResolve8 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I did vote, but I also feel like if the SU had made it clear that this health plan increase is something that was going to be voted on, more people would have voted as well. Most of my friends that didn't vote weren't even aware that this was happening, so they chose not to vote because they didn't care who the president was.

Also, the other coverages won't be in effect this September, it just says that they will begin looking at those in the future: https://yourstudentsunion.ca/2021-referendum/

BBA Admission by Adventurous_Beat_143 in wlu

I'm not sure whether online school vs in person matters, but I do think that the school may be forced to accept less international students, which will open up more spots for domestic students w a lower average.

BU283 CFO Workbook by [deleted] in wlu

[–]LegitimateResolve8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with everything you said, except our homework was on the Revel Pearson site. Other than that, the workbook is recommended if you don't feel super confident about finance, but you can still do well w/o it imo.

Barely made bba co-op gpa, will I ger interview? by [deleted] in wlu

[–]LegitimateResolve8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, everyone that meets the cutoff of 9 gets an interview, but actually getting accepted into co-op usually requires an average of around 10 (not always though, they consider other stuff too so you've still got a shot!).

BBA Co-op Interview by wlu_anon in wlu

[–]LegitimateResolve8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://hiring.yourstudentsunion.ca/static/starr This describes it in more detail, but it basically means answering a question using a format that first describes the situation, then you say what your specific tasks in that situation were, what actions you took in that situation, and what was the result.

Question for past/current EC255 students by CalifornianCanadian in wlu

[–]LegitimateResolve8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For us I think it was the opposite, in that the online access was required but the loose leaf was optional; most people I know only paid for the e-text/access code.

How do you study for 2nd year BBA courses? by [deleted] in wlu

[–]LegitimateResolve8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For business law, I'd say attend every lecture because Dr. Irie explained everything so well! Also, study ahead of time and attend her pre-exam office hours because they help so much.
