Hearing Day! But on the new blog!

I decided today is the perfect day to really start the new blog:

Hearing date and time!

The hearing for the election contest will be transmitted on April 4, 2009 at 1PM in the lobby of Fauteux at the University of Ottawa.

Because the lobby is such a good place for it. I guess its B.Y.O.C.?

And so it begins

Before the preliminary hearing, Renaud Garner sent a letter to the SAC arbiters, available here.

My favourite part?

We can ensure the members of the SAC that we will respect the process. We will not bring signs to the hearing, nor will we yell insults at the arbitrators or any of the witnesses or parties. We will not bring signs to the hearing, nor will we yell insults at the arbitrators or any of the witnesses or parties. We will not cause a circus by walking out of any hearing nor shall we play games with the process. We will not cause a circus by walking out of any hearing nor shall we play games with the process.

Again, this should be interesting. Mr. Garner brings up valid points, and does so knowing that he (and the other Plaintiffs) are at a disadvantage. It was brought up at a BOA meeting, what would happen if the Plaintiffs decided not to consent to the SAC, and anyone who seriously asks that questions does not think before they speak. If the Plaintiffs refuse to submit to the SAC then there is no case before it. So there one point for the accused.

Three of the accused we present for the discussion and ratifying of the 5 new arbiters. Non of the Plaintiffs were. Another point for the accused.

Two of the interviewers are accused of having direct ties and involvement with the accused. Two out of the three. Another point for the accused.

Three of the accused are being paid to work on their defense. Or at least have not proven that they aren't. Paid by us. Another point for the accused.

I'm sure there are plenty more points to be tabulated. But so far its 4-0. But my friends, truth is a wild card. Like the Joker in Asshole.

A test of the system

The preliminary hearing for the election appeal is happening tonight. This is a very important test for the SAC arbitors, to see how impartial they are, to see how well they can handle themselves in the "media" spotlight.

iPod Battle Photos!

I took a bunch of pictures last night:

Some are better than others lol.

An upcoming change

So I will be leaving blogspot. But do not fret, I will be moving on to bigger(?) and better(?) things.

I splurged and got my own domain: http://www.kj360.ca and my own host and there will still be a blog: http://blog.kj360.ca.

This will allow me to have more dynamic content (like photo albums and easily embedded movies). And a little more freedom with the site.

Right now its not much, as I haven't had a chance to really work on it. But I expect to have something substantial up within the next week!

Thanks as always,

Ken

PIDSSA Results and Crazy Nights

Last night was a tad busy, there was no blogging during the night...

President: Amalia Savva
VP External: Kyle Simonovic (Acclaimed)
VP Finance: Peter Flynn (Acclaimed)
VP Francophone Affairs: Brandon Clim (Acclaimed) A large amount of no votes, I do not remember exact figures but I recall in the area of 1/3
VP Social Franco: Tristan Denommee
VP Social Anglo: Amanda Marochko By a freaking landslide!
VP Academic DVM: Ethan Plato
VP Academic PAP: James Johnston He won 5-4
VP Academic EIL: Patrick Ciaschi
VP Academic POL: Greg Smith

So the PIDSSA Provincial elections are over. We have a new exec. It should be interesting to see how it all plays out. Their first big test is getting 101 week organized, so acquiring guides and events, and all that fun stuff.

While that was going on, Arts was hosting their 3rd and final iPod Battle, with proceeds going towards Relay for Life. I have quite a few good pictures that will go up later, for those interested.
