Following a recent debate at the University of Ottawa Students’ Union’s (UOSU) Board of Directors meeting, UOSU has admitted they are “seriously considering” supporting a recent initiative by the National Capitol Commission (NCC) to drain the water in the Rideau Canal and replace it with Arizona Iced Tea.

2,482 undergraduate students voted in the elections; a turnout rate of 6.74 per cent. This is notably a point lower than the turnout for the most recent by-election which had 2,999 ballots cast for a 7.7 per cent turn out — the highest by-election turnout in UOSU’s brief history.

On Oct. 13th, former UOSU director Hannah Weidrick reached out to the Fulcrum to share concerns over how Traviss went about withdrawing from UOSU’s byelection. “Quanah withdrew from the election, but not before[…] giving Thorp an ultimatum, it was: he will withdraw from the election as long as the results aren’t shared publicly, and Thorp is only allowed to tell one person. It’s undemocratic and it’s wrong and he’s not supposed to do that.”

In the “highest turnout ever recorded for a by-election in UOSU’s history”, four seats on the executive committee have been filled, including Delphine Robitaille as union president and Daniel Thorp as communications commissioner.
