Wishing the UVSS the best of luck... in court?

Students from the University of Victoria Students' Society (UVSS) are set to vote in a referendum on continued membership in the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS) from March 29th to March 31st 2011. Check out some of these posters being pumped out from the "NO" campaign:







In contrast, check out the attempt by the "YES" side to convince UVSS students that the CFS is a democratic organization... In short, FAIL!

Don't be fooled: Canadian Federation of Students ain't democratic!

Oh, I almost forgot to mention that the "YES" campaign spent approximately $4300 on pro-CFS ads in the UVic's student newspaper The Martlet. On the other hand, the UVSS approved $750 (nearly 6 times less than the "YES" campaign spent solely on the above mentioned newspaper ads). Lastly, The Peak, the independent student newspaper of Simon Fraser University, has published the following opinion piece, written by three "former CFS insiders who have chosen to speak out, years after their involvement", outlining why the CFS is "broken and can't be fixed".

  1. Wow you must be so proud of them making light of a campaign against date rape. Really says a lot about the NO campaign if that of all the CFS posters they decide to parody.
