Jonathon Hart is running for Arts Regular councillor. I've some comments on his statement on feds.ca.
He writes:
In previous elections voter turnout and student apathy, related to FEDs, have played a major factor in the quality of representation from every faculty, and especially the Arts faculty. It has become apparent to me that it is time to put strength and leadership back into the FEDs so that the council and executive can do the best job possible for the constituents of arts and for every student at the University of Waterloo.
Where is your evidence? Apparently, you don't have any. You are probably correct but your rhetoric needs a foundation.
I want to get YOU involved. I want to be the person that speaks on behalf of YOUR views and direction for the faculty of arts. It is critical for everyone in the faculty to feel that they have the opportunity to contribute to their education and post secondary experience through FEDs.
The position you are running for is called councillor, not conduit. CAPs are dumb; use bold instead.
Accountability is critical for an effective council. I want you to know what I'm doing to make your education better. The lack of interest and commitment from the councilors in past years is appalling. Councilors who don't show up and when they do show up leave early, aren't there to work for you. You deserve better. I can promise you that I will be dedicated to being YOUR voice to the executive and the first step to that is being physically at meetings. The next step is being prepared and involved at meetings. At every meeting the voice of arts students will be heard.
This year's arts councillors have been very good, relative to the rest of council. You sound like you've got lots of enthusiasm. Here's hoping you can do some good on council. You've got one of my four votes.
