Douglas Students' Union in the News

In the interests of avoiding another unfriendly letter from Roger McConchie, I don't think I'll be providing any commentary on this one. But then, I don't think that commentary on my part will really be all that necessary:

(P.S.: Yes, I know, I'm late in commenting on the USSU.... I have two major midterm assignments around now, so that will have to late until I have enough time to properly do justice to this very interesting situation.)

Finally some mainstream media coverage of this crap. Hopefully, there's more where that came from. I hope the CFS puppet masters are shaking in their boots...

I am interested that no one has interviewed the CFS BC folks as they were mentioned in the story. I wonder whether there will be significant interest for a follow up story--this was pretty darn prime time!

Also, I am concerned about the repercussions for other unions--I think this is a case of the regulations re student union audits working well, however, it could easily be used as a case to show student unions shouldn't be able to established auto-dues check off, which would be a real loss to many campusses (a la the Australian news reported on this site a few months ago).
